“BRO!…You got the vocals sounding amazing man, thank you!” – Morgan Rose-Sevendust
“I have recorded multiple Albums with Larry at Minds Eye Digital. Everything from Rock, Funk, & Hip-Hop, to EDM and Pop. Normally I wouldn’t record all those different genres with one producer, under one roof, but the “Minds Eye” sound is light years ahead of what most studios have to offer. Larry gives you his all every time you step foot into his facility, whether you are a major label artist, or just recording your first demo. Minds Eye Digital Recording Studio has been secret weapon.” – Eric Straube
“Over the years I have recorded numerous projects At Minds Eye. One of them resulted in signing a deal with Roadrunner Records. So many bands have gotten record deals after recording with Larry, that he probably should’ve been an A&R guy instead.” Greg Forney of Dislocated Styles
“We recorded our album in New Orleans but had it mixed mastered at Larry’s studio. He did things that were just jaw dropping. I honestly sat in aww for 3 play throughs of the entire City Below EP. He put his heart and soul in to our music as we did. Larry is truly talented and I plan to use Larry in any future project no matter how big or small he’s my guy. Your the best bro.” – Rodrigo Gongora of City Below
“This is hands down, the TOP local recording studio. Professional, unmatched sound quality for a fraction of what you’d expect to pay for the end product. It also helps that Larry is awesome and knows how to pull the best performances out of the artists. I couldn’t recommend any higher.” – Andre Buck of Corvus
“One of the greatest studios because it’s run by great amazing people hands down.” – Tendell Buzzdopio Bird of Pink and Cyndi Lauper
“Plain and simple, THE BEST!” – Eddie Lopez Soundmankillz
“I was referred to Larry via one of his past clients. My band was skeptical at first because our sound is kind of jazzy/rockabilly/goth and it looked like a lot of what Larry did was metal and hard rock stuff. Still, I liked him and the price was good so we gave it a shot, and we are REALLY glad we did. If it’s music, Larry gets it, no matter the genre. The quality of the production on our album exceeded expectations and the experience of working with Larry was comfortable, laid back, but still somehow SUPER fast. He’s the best you’ll get for the price, heck, he may be the best you’ll get an ANY price.” – Scott from The Spiderhole
“Larry is a talented producer who inspires creativity. I have worked with him on a few different projects that were different styles and he excelled on all of them. He works quickly and has a great ear for many styles of music. His ideas have always added to the music and elevated the songs. I almost want to keep him a secret so his rates don’t go up but he deserves to be as successful as the top guys out there.” – Mike of Crushed/Gift of Destiny
“All of these reviews are spot on. I’d like to add some detail. I have brought varied projects to Larry. Wow…since the ’90’s! Point of fact, not long ago, I shared one of those early projects with someone new… One prevailing theme… The sound quality! Larry has a knack for becoming a fan of the projects… He is “on the team”. He will make you believe in what you do, and the by product is…your performance.” – Mike of Bionic Jive/Chet/Charvelle Guitars Exec
“Our best experience yet! Larry was very did a great job of helping us feel comfortable and contributed greatly to helping us polish our recorded sound! I couldn’t ask for a better producer. Anyone looking to get quality for the price can rest assured they will find it in Larry’s work! Thanks Mind’s Eye!” – Jasonsociety
“I recorded with Larry the first time in 1997, been recording with him ever since. No matter where I live, I travel to make sure to get him behind the board. First rate producer and engineer. Huge.” – Kevin Dye of DYEMUSICA
“I have recorded three different CD’s/EP’s with Larry at Mind’s Eye. (In two separate bands) Every time, with no exception, the quality of our recordings was excellent. The sound, vibe and soul of the music came through. His facilities are top notch and always improving as technology improves. Larry is an innovator and will use a combination of known vintage techniques and modern technology to create that perfect sound. Expect nothing but the best when you go to Larry!” – James Ray
“I was called in to play on a record for “Search for Redemption” in Larry’s studio. In over 20 years as a studio musician I have worked for many a technician and engineer. Larry is a fabulous technician, innovative, fast and precise . He is a equally versatile and understanding producer who I watched help the band members grow during their experience and really brought out the best in everyone he worked with. Should I ever recommend anyone a studio it will be Larry’s.” – Nate of Search For Redemption
“Larry is a remarkable engineer and an amazing producer. I have come to Larry for recordings since 1997. In the studio he will help you to challenge yourself to get the best recording possible, and as an end result have an amazing recording you can be proud of. Larry shows true professionalism and is extremely easy to work with. He is definitely a master at his craft, as he has rewards and clients to vouch for that. If anyone is in need of a professional recording of any kind I would recommend Larry Elyea in a heartbeat. Some producers have their specialties in what they record, but not Larry. He is well diversified in every genre of music, and can make any project sound professional.” Adam of Brick
