Client Testimonials

  • Zac and his team delivered exactly what my studio needed. They designed a tracking room with outstanding sound control, room acoustics, and interior treatment choices that make it both inspiring to work in and reliable to record. Professional, efficient, and highly recommended.

    “Zac expertly assisted us in our ground up Studio build. His knowledge about soundproofing, acoustic properties, clean power, parallel spaces, heating and air, etc. were instrumental to creating a highly usable space. It turned out so much better than we could have imagined. The acoustic treatment was the icing on the cake. With an endless amount of design choices and fabrics, we were able to create a space that was aesthetically pleasing and as well as terrific to listen and record. Highly recommended!!”

  • "Zac designed and helped me build a dream studio. Firstly the design was fantastic. It made use of my space in ways I had not thought of and in such a great aesthetic. Secondly the plans and construction guide was easy to follow and had great practical ideas sensitive to budget and sonics. The final result sounds and looks amazing. Highly recommended!"

    "I can't say enough about Audio Virtue Acoustics and the room Zac designed for me. I wanted a room that sounded great, but that didn't look like every other studio out there. The design he came back with absolutely blew me away. It was unique, warm, vibey, everything you'd want in a studio space. He came in under budget and provided me with very detailed and easy-to-follow installation documents and a comprehensive materials list. The finished product exceeded my expectations and has been an absolute game-changer for me. It sounds perfect and looks incredible. It's a joy working in my room on a daily basis."

    “I was extremely pleased with the results of my studio design and consult with Zac. May clients have been impressed with the layout and quality of the design in our small home studio. Zac made the best use of the space available. The investment we put into designing the space was definitely worth it. Without Zac, I would be literally guessing and designing the space myself. There is no way it would have turned out nearly as good without his help.”

    Will Mason

  • Zac and crew did an incredible job on my small room! I typically bounce between writing sessions, recording and mixing and the design/sound is perfect. Highly recommend!!!
