This studio is amazing, recorded my album here! Tim is very kind and hardworking, always respects your time and always makes sure you get the most out of each hour. Love the family atmosphere of the studio, I always have a great time there. He’s an excellent multi-talented musician (plays so many instruments, great arranger too) and teacher as well, truly does it all!

Tim is an incredibly competent sound engineer. He knows everything there is to know about recording. He is a highly ethical businessman and is easy to work with. He is faith-filled and has a wonderful young fa

mily.

As a musician who has toured the world with "A List" Artists I have been privileged to perform and record with some of the best musicians in the world. Tim Frantz may not be a household name (Yet) but his knowledge of recording, guitar skills, and songwriting is top notch, and I would put him next to the best of the best any day.

If you need to make a record and you have Taylor Swifts budget then go to the Record Plant in Hollywood, But if you don't...

Mountain Dog Musicworks
is the way to go !!!!!!!!!!

Booked a session here to lay down vocals with my 18 yr old niece, a talented live singer who had never before recorded in a studio. It was her 1st time in CA and our 1st time singing together! Tim was excellent to work with, from his willingness to offer his time to us during the holidays, to providing an opportunity to tour the studio and chat with him beforehand, to the musical and technical expertise he demonstrated during our session. My niece relaxed right into the easy-going vibe of Mountain Dog Musicworks and we both appreciated Tim's personable style, generous nature and many talents. We watched him work efficiently and masterfully, helping us produce 4 songs in 3 hours with multiple harmony tracks! So, here's my shout-out to singers, songwriters, soloists, duos, groups - if you're looking for a top-quality recording experience in a neighborly setting with a seasoned pro that delivers brilliant results, look no further!!! I highly recommend working with Tim and can't wait for my niece to return for our next session.

Your song could not be in better hands than Tim Frantz. He first listens to understand what you want to achieve and works with you on all aspects (style, tempo, genre, post-production) to achieve that vision. He will do whatever is needed -- write music or play any instrument. The music he writes, his orchestrations and his playing are inspired, professional and will set your music apart. Equally important, is that he will tell you when your work is not up to snuff and will make appropriate suggestions to strengthen your work. He makes you better. He makes your work shine!

Excellent studio for songwriters, tracking and/or mixing existing projects, including mastering. Great value for the money, as the owner (Tim Frantz) is an excellent musician as well as an engineer/producer. Lots of great outboard gear, including a wide selection of instrument samples. Worth a trip to Ventura County!

Mr Frantz help me with a recording for a school project that has turned into something better and bigger than I thought. I listen to his suggestions and published the song which has been reaching many thousands of views that includes people from all around the globe. The quality of his work and services are just the best! After seeing this results I got inspired to write more songs that will be streaming in all music platforms this year! Thank you very much for all your work and the support to make this happen!

Just finished up recording an album with Tim's help and guidance. Was my first experience in a recording studio and the patience, professionalism, and love of his craft shined through. Lord willing, looking forward to the next project. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee you'll be well rewarded by having Tim coming alongside to bring your musical dreams to fruition!
