Reviews

  • "Matt at Ledbelly studios is top notch! If you are in the North Georgia area and need a place to record your vocals, instruments or band then this is it! Friendly, inviting, and goes above/beyond to be sure that you are satisfied with his work! If you are looking for a true professional sound at a reasonable price -this is it! Our band loves him and his work and will use no one else!!! Highly recommend AAA++++!!!!"

    GWC Jr

  • "Matt is by far the best producer my punk band has worked with! We had such a good experience recording a single with him that we decided to record our first full length album with him. He works really efficiently and the finished product is absolutely incredible."

    Sam Wilson

  • "I’ve had the pleasure of recording at Ledbelly multiple times. Always a great experience. Matt is the absolute best. He knows his stuff and he creates a perfect atmosphere to work. There is nowhere else in Georgia that I will go to for my recording needs. And it’s an amazing value for the money. I highly recommend."

    Steve Rangel

  • "Best studio you can possibly record at. Extremely professional and high-end equipment. Also, Matt is an amazing guy and really knows what he's doing. He will make you sound like a million bucks. Cannot recommend enough."

    Chris

  • "I've recorded folk, rock, acoustic, church music and more with Matt over the years. It's crazy to think a studio like this is in North GA. Ledbelly has all the gear your best friends "studio" DOES NOT have - not to mention an engineer that knows his stuff from decades of experience. Recording music in a studio is just fun and worth the investment. Call Matt - he's the best."

    Mike O’Brian

  • "Definitely recommend to any musicians who are looking for high quality work with a super laid back studio experience. You won’t leave without a perfected track guaranteed. We are getting ready to go back for a second studio session and we are stoked!"
