Great place, great people, and great learning experience. Definitely a cool place to go to if you're interested in film, photography, and/or music.

I had one of the best recording experiences ever when I went to house studio. The fact that this studio has so many ties to big names in the industry makes it feel like and accomplishment in its self just to be allowed to work with them. The staff sees you as an actually person not just $$$ coming through the door they take your work seriously because they know that there name will be attached to it. They work for the artist as well as themselves so you know that the best quality will be seen in your final result and you can always expect honest feedback as well that is all aimed at helping you be better as an artist which any true artist will appreciate. I been there a few times and will be planning to go back in the near future.

Top notch studio! Nice atmosphere, and the people who work there are passionate about the music they create.

Love this company. More then a studio, a creative oasis.

They have an excellent team who are willing to listen to you and what your vision is. They're a little off the beaten path now, but everyone there is like a big family. Would recommend it to anyone who needed music mixing, producing, and photography/film work!

I had a great experience working with House. The atmosphere was laid back, friendly as well as professional. They have a great team of people and if you're looking for more than just recording, they have the functionality of a full purpose multimedia space and educational facility. Definitely worth checking out.

If you want the premier music video experience without going to Hollywood Studios, California, connect with the renown House Studio in D.C. where they bring Hollywood excellence with an indie vibe and support for your creativity! It's where D.C. meets L.A.! I just finished the video shoot for my pop single. The creative team of $5MusicVideo took me under their wings and are placing me on the map with my latest up & coming video production. You're next, get with them, for real.

House Studio looked good online, however when I used their services, it was a very disappointing experience. I had a music video done with them, which was terrible. Other people and I were laughing as we were watching the video as it was that bad. It took them a very long time to get it to me as well. Different lies were told over days and I did not receive it for a while. So, it was a daily headache dealing with them in order to get my service. I have never dealt with a more unprofessional and deceitful setup in my life. I was so fed up that eventually that I told them to simply give me the footage and that I will be paying a company that is reliable and professional to re edit and shoot certain parts of the video again. Then, House did something illegal and did not give the music video and the footage. They told me to pick one, once again making things more complicated for me once again. I received the footage after a week with another round of lies when it is supposed to take less than an hour to transfer the files.
I also recorded a track at House and they refused to do a second round of edits on the track even though the policy is three edits. I needed a very minor edit done and told them how it would be complicated and cost more money to take it to another studio to edit. I was even willing to pay House more! The manager selfishly refused to help, saying "the studio is all booked up". So, once they have taken the clients money, they do not care much for the client.
Another major problem with House is that they have one person who handles all of the bookings and communication between the artists and the studio, which is ridiculous a setup that I have never seen before. Every studio has different people handling all this work. This is where quality work starts getting sacrificed and where House cuts corners.
I want to describe the whole picture accurately and would like to add that one of their engineers has done some good work for me, but that doesn't take away from the fact that seeking their services is bad idea to all the other problems. If you are a famous client, they might treat you well, but if you an aspiring artist as I am and need to use different services to move forward, House is a terrible place to be. I ended up wasting time, money, and energy with them. There are plenty of great studios around the area and this isn't worth the headache, learn from my experience. I have been working with another studio now and can see how professional studios operate and how they can do great work.

The worst thing is that they lie. I would never work with someone who doesn't have honor and lies. The mix and music video they made for my friend was unbelievably unprofessional. For the mix the dubs weren't even lined up and vocals weren't even compressed! These are basics of engineering. No need to spend good money at such a studio when there's other better ones around! Cue recording is a good one I know of.
