DLM Recording Studio Review

I have recorded music in studios all around the world and I have to say DLM is top notch. They are prompt, organized and professional.

If you re a serious artist and serious about taking your music to the next level DLM is the vehicle to get you there.

Everything was swift and efficient through every step of the process:
From booking the appointment, to having the ability to identify when there is some sort of noise or distortion, to NOT wasting precious minutes between punches during recording, to the mixing and mastering. Everything was handled professionally from beginning to end.

From the owner to the engineers, all members of the team were sincere and perceptive to the vision that I had for my music.

I highly recommend DLM studios to any artist or band who is looking to create their next masterpiece.

I used DLM Recording studios to record the song for my first dance at my wedding. They were very professional, and polite- and the quality of their recording was fantastic. Thanks a lot for your help guys!

Great studio! Very professional, efficient, and accomedating. Best recording expirance I have had. Highly recommend.

Justin was very easy to work with, knowledgeable and communicative. He was open to my ideas and even contributed a few of his own that made the song better. James was welcoming as well. Highly recommend!

DLM is the best. James and Justin are as awesome of musicians as they are people. They are supportive of your musical vision and offer excellent advice and suggestions to help you get the best possible recording. Hardworking and trustworthy, you can't go wrong here with any genre of music.

Loved it, they created my music exactly how i heard it in my mind. I m going back with full trust that my album will be beyond my expectations.
Thank you guys!

great production quality, loved working with Justin and the rest of the DLM crew. Would 100% record with them again and I do intend to.

DLM Recording Studio is a high quality, beautiful studio space with an extremely professional and friendly staff. James and Justin have great ears for music and will make sure your recordings are sounding as good as possible. Also, they're just awesome dudes. I highly recommend working with them!

Recently went there to record a song had a great experience and justin mixed and masterd perfectly..I Called so many studios before I found them. The professionalism they have is well worth the trip

Cool studio with a laid back environment. Staff is very knowledgable and helpful. Look forward to the next session!

This studio is horrible! They don t allow you to come in and just use their room. As a mixing engineer myself and accredited mixing engineer might I add, I needed a room to finish my mixes but they would not allow me to use their room cause their set up is complicated. Their set up is complicated because the set up is all wrong! They also told me that they wanted their engineer to mix for me! Their engineer doesn t even know what s going on with my projects like I do! My mixes were basically done just needed to make some revsisions. This is why this studio is about to shut down! Don t go here!

First off, I want to say this is my first time writing a google review.

1. I worked with DLM a few months prior and the experience was top notch
2. On my recent visit, however the service and quality of the recording dropped tremendously.

Not only was the final mix nowhere near the first song I did there, the engineer allowed individuals to roam in and out of our session. He walked out himself for a "smoke" break and the unprofessional-ism was clearly heard on the mix. I battled making this review, but after wasting money I felt I had to.

These guys are good at what they do, when, and only when they are mentally present. The skill is there, but I felt short-changed nonetheless.

Made my EP here. Everything is so pro and so good for music ideas! Check out my EP by looking up "Melopagani" You'll see how good the mix is!

Smart group of guys w a great knowledge of music & set up.. Very talented and down to earth vibe

These guys are the best. Justin is the best engineer around & it's easy to book sessions w/ James.

Great professional studio to go to! Every session is always productive

They have Super professional engineers and high quality equipment that never fails to make your song sound amazing, great place to go to!

Comfortable environment. Very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. Justin is a very cool and efficient guy. He makes sure to get the best sound while working non stop for hours. He really cares about quality while making sure to use time efficiently. While we did not record here, we re extremely happy with our mixing experience. I hope to be able to record here next time.

Very good experience recording here. Great equipment, very professional, and great engineers. Everything went smoothly. I highly recommend it.

Very professional experience ! All the equipment and the studio room was sanitized in between different sessions to assure safety! The engineer David also wears a mask during the session. Other than that the
services are great ! The quality is amazing and David is a great engineer who actually listens and caters to the needs of the customer. Also mixes and masters great with hip hop songs but is very versatile ! They are in the process of switching the studio name to Monk Fidelity Sound lab and a new location but the setup now is a very comfortable environment to record in as well i would definitely recommend this studio to EVERYONE !!

Absolutely loveeeee this place! It was my first time searching for a studio for my podcast and i can honestly say that James and Justin are gracious and knowledgeable hosts! My co-hosts felt so comfortable in their space and they gave me pointers on what to do for the podcast. They even gave me my media really fast for me to listen to! I already booked three sessions already!

David Lee Martins (DLM) has several certifications in audio engineering and is not only great at what he does, but is extremely professional, flexible, kind, and an overall cool dude. The studio has a good vibe, and is not only an awesome place to work, but to network.It's a pleasure to work with the guy honestly. He recently started hosting weekly jam sessions for all creatives to come and work or network. Check the facebook for more info.

Had a great session with Justin and James, will definitely be recording more at DLM in the future!

DLM is the perfect environment with an expert staff. The quality cannot be beat.

I've been customer at this studio for a few years now, and the main reason I keep coming back is the overall dedication by management to continue improvement. Staff has changed over these very few years simply as a way to keep up with a higher standard for personnel who are capable of delivering the best quality of services. This studio is open to all genres as needed, available for hosting special events, and very understanding for when life happens if you happen to be running late. I don't have any plans of going anywhere else any time soon.

This place is absolutely amazing. James and Justin are very good and experienced at what they do. I m glad I ran into this studio. I highly recommend recording here it s also affordable.

James and Justin at DLM are doing great things. They recently helped us out with some demo work and it's always a pleasure to work with them. Lovely space, chill atmosphere, awesome people, highly recommend this studio. Also, check out their band American Lions, killer stuff. Cheers! - HAGS

They are excellent
Very helpful and the recording session was great. Thank you.

After spending 7 years recording music on a rinky dink USB mic and mixing by literally pasting my vocals over YouTube rips in Audacity, I realized I wasn t going to get any closer to my dreams if I didn t start investing in my music.

A professional studio seemed like a scary step to take though. Skilled, experienced engineers with pro-level equipment, listening closely as I put my most vulnerable verses to music? No way. I was afraid of strangers and judgment and that my investment would be mocked.

But as soon as I toured DLM, weeks before I even recorded, I knew it was a place that my concerns would be put at ease. I knew it was a place to grow. Right off the bat, the staff was super friendly and quick with email responses (a good sign!). The space itself has an extremely chill vibe, dope murals in the stairwell, and an insane set of equipment that makes the mixing board look like a spaceship s control room. There s a separate room for bands and a slick vocal booth on the other side. They ve got an SM7B so you know they ain t playin but there s also a whole rack of other mics if you re looking for a different sound.

There s a stereotype on online music forums that audio engineers are grumpy dorito-encrusted gremlins but DLM s engineer Justin couldn t be further from that. Super chill, clearly skilled. Good ear. Polite and thoughtful with feedback and most importantly, patient. This guy knows what he s doing, and how he can push your music to reach another level.

In the space of a few sessions at DLM, I ve been able to create some of the best tracks of my whole career. After constant dissatisfaction with my USB recordings, lemme just say it is an amazing feeling to be proud of what you re creating. If you re in the area and you re ready to make a worthwhile investment in yourself so that you can grow as an artist, look no further. This is it, chief- at a very fair price.

The highest quality production for an astoundingly cheap price. Hours are flexible and the people you'll work with are more than professional. 10 stars.

Honestly DLM is the best studio in this area. Those guys are professional and do great work. I ve had several songs done by Justin, their engineer. He is a wiz at the studio equipment, works SUPER time efficiently, and brings my vocals and instruments to the next level always. Love the vibe here too.

James and Justin have done wonders with this place. Our band has learned so much from working in a studio as professional as DLM. Thanks guys !

Upon entering the studio has a very welcoming vibe. The engineer was great, I wouldnt record anwhere else in the tri state

Great first time there. Very chill for younger people that want a familiar environment. Very patient for beginners like myself and also very educational. The studio is personal for those that might be anxious for your first time. The team there is really comforting and they know their stuff. I encourage everyone to try them out.

One of the best recording studios in the state of New Jersey. I came here months ago with a friend and was blown away by how quickly and efficiently the product was finished. Extremely professional environment and top notch equipment.

If you want the best quality for your music COME HERE. You will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for a home studio, this is the one! Very comfortable environment to work on music, and record. Flexible hours, and very reasonable prices! You're at liberty to express your creativity here. This studio is not bias toward any genre of music. Definitely a place that has a broad collective of artist coming through. Overll the only place I think I'll be going to for a while.

Very relaxed environment, cool setup and great vibes. The team is kind, helpful, and extremely talented. Justin is an awesome dude and does everything he can to ensure your vision becomes reality. I had a great experience here and will for sure be back in the future.

Had a great time ina studio , It was nice and cozy and wonderful equipment. David knew what i wanted and how to do it well. Great conversations as well, and i got comfortable real fast and we finished the project well.

UPDATE: It is safe to say that I STILL love it here. As a long time user of the Studio, it is approaching it's 3 year anniversary. I have seen the various changes in appearance, equipment, and staff and I'm very proud of what it's become. The new manager, James and Head Engineer , Justin have took DLM and COMPLETELY revamped it. It is now a Studio that caters to ALL genres due to the addition of the live recording room. I've seen a review on here that said they were going to close soon and I would like to say to anyone on here looking for a studio: Don't believe the hype. DLM seems to be doing better than ever. I have brought my own engineer to mix here so it seems to be a miscommunication. James is very patient and prompt in scheduling your hours needed for a session. Justin makes sure you utilize your time correctly and works with you in a way that you feel comfortable and not taken advantage of. All in all DLM Recording Studio is a very professional place to record and anyone looking to make music should definitely inquire how to record here!

Recording here was such an awesome experience! I highly recommend Justin Calayclay when choosing an engineer! He makes sure you get the result that you want and always puts 100% into each project/session. Truly a fun and amazing experience.

Amazing space and amazing staff that assured my band and I had an efficient and fun session!

Guys were super chill and efficient. Really nice place.

I love coming here to record. I really feel like I m becoming a better artist after every session. Justin is one of a kind when it comes to engineering. The staff is really supportive & the environment is cool.

Amazing spot. The space was clean and the engineers taught me things to look out for in the future!

These guys. Absolutely amazing experience working with James and Justin. Cool vibe, hospitable af and amazing experience overall. They made sure every one of our needs were met for our single and it was clear that they care about the work they put into helping you create the sound that you want. Can t say enough good things about these guys

The best environment for rappers, signers or anyone looking to lays down some vocal recording. Great vibes. Flexible hours and reasonable prices. David shows care and concern towards every one of his clients as if it was his own song.

Any artist reading this in the central jersey area, Munk Fidelity Sound Lab is the spot you re looking for. This is an extremely rare studio environment especially for the east coast. Vibes are amazing, sound quality and equipment is amazing and pricing is amazing. David really loves what he does and it shows.

Love the new team! Scheduling with the manager, James was a breeze and working with Justin during my 5 hour session was one of my favorite sessions. Location is super convenient and has free side street parking. Can't wait to work with you guys again!
