What Clients Are Saying
Artist
Idio Sound Lab has been my second home since 2022. I met Justin last year to get a song mixed but I did not have any idea that we would build such a great friendship. Working with Justin is so helpful for me as he tells me about little tips and tricks here and there which helps me in better production. The equipment at the studio is up to the mark. You get everything you want and anyone would feel like home there as the place is so comforting and Justin is so welcoming. I really enjoy working with Justin at his studio. Looking forward to make many more albums with him.
Producer
IdIo Sound Lab is great!! For recording vocals and as well mixing and master. It’s clean and well lit as well. Whenever I record there with Justin it’s always a vibe and I always get the best results with my vocals. Also, Justin has mixed and mastered my music and the sound is amazing. He really is experienced in this field and is one of the best people I work with.
Artist
I’ve worked with Justin for years and I’ve worked with many engineers for over a decade. He’s helped me to elevate my game and take my music to new heights. He’s brought incredible insight and skill to every song I’ve worked on. That’s why I continue to work with him and will continue to work with him.

Artist
Firstly I want to thank Justin and his team for always having the best attitude and support towards not just me, but all the artists they work with. Justin really made it easier when recording, by not making me feel out of place but comfortable enough to feel at home while recording, which brings out the best output. The studio has such a lovely aesthetic and professional set up that takes out of the ordinary mindset, to an imaginative one and ensures your output comes out in the highest quality. I really appreciate the constant support from Justin in and out of the studio. He keeps it real and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Idio Sound Lab is the go to place for artists looking to record, produce, mix music and much more. The atmosphere is second to none, I've always felt at home when recording with the talented individuals at idio home studios. The mixing and mastering process is top notch as the engineer works side by side with the artist. I've never been to a studio of this quality and will recommend anyone looking to work on there music stops by this studio, you will not regret it. Looking forward to working on more projects with these talented individuals. Cheers!

I would like to start this off by saying music is my first love and I really enjoy listening to it but creating music is one of the things that make life so much more rewarding for me! This is exactly why I would like to express how my experiences at Idio Recording Studios with Justin aka Ja Mixdowns have been great! To be honest every time I’ve gone to his studio to record or just to visit and vibe out I’ve gained more love for the art and confidence in my talent. So anytime an artist, band, beat-maker, engineer etc asks me where I record, I’m proud to let him know Idio Sound Lab!
