D.O’B. Sound Studios

I have spent some time and spent a hard earned dollar at D.O.B. Sound Rehearsal Studio.
I can honestly say it was money and time that was well spent. I have rehearsed there on numerous occasions and the sound acoustics and studio space were perfect. Derek who is the main gent over there is also a renowned drummer. I took a series of drum/​theory lessons from Derek. Even after playing drums for over 30 plus years, I was grateful that there were so many things to learn from him that were priceless and beneficial. Over time I took another try with Derek when it came to studio recording for some upcoming record releases. As a drummer and as a vocalist, Derek helped me achieve what I was hoping to achieve on my recordings. Derek’s knowledge, personal studio experience, and patience were all assets to the process. I will be returning soon for future recordings as I have found a consistent and ideal studio to record at. The place is clean, parking is good, everyone there is super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend D.O.B. Sound Rehearsal Studios, it’s the real deal.

A great experience recording my solo CD. For someone new to the sound and recording side of music like me, Derek was awesome at walking me through the process. Very professional. Highly recommend. Great space, plenty of parking, nice staff!

I’ve had nothing but good times here. Derek is rad and they have everything you need!

This place is awesome, I’ve gone here to record DEMOs and 2 albums, the Staff is very friendly and professional. Rehearsal rooms are fully equipped with AC (what else can you ask for). Derek and Larry are very caring individuals that will help a fellow musician as much as possible, I know because I’ve been there .
Thank you guys for being part of the rock n roll /​punk ect. culture, keep up the great work :
Ps. this place is highly recommended !

I’ve used both the rehearsal rooms and the studio for my band’s record, and I have been very pleased with my experiences. The staff is attentive, the equipment has always been in good shape, and the studio space is great. I highly recommend them!

Great soundspace
professional equipment
courteous staff… i have recommended this location to a few people/​groups, and they have never been disappointed.
I would say that if you are looking to rehearse or record, this is a great place to go!

I used to jam here back in the day and was happy with the rehearsal spaces. However, since returning this past month after a 5 year hiatus, I was not too impressed. The room the put us in had a busted speaker and was super hot. My drummer was miserably hot and even with our second visit, it didn’t seem much better. Cool front desk help, but pretty low quality.

Worst rehearsal hall I’ve ever been too. It’s dirty, the equipment is terrible, and sound is even worse. DO NOT come here! I NEVER will again!

Derek is a great engineer as well is a friendly person. His work ethic is strong, however his cable wrapping abilities are sub-​par and for that I had to dock a star.

Visited DOB last night and my friends and I were very pleased. I’ve been to bedrock and sound bite in eagle rock and DOB is just as good. My only complaint is that they offer cymbals with the drums but the cymbals they offer are in such bad shape that they are not usable anymore. I always bring my cymbals so that wasn’t a problem for me but I would imagine it would be a problem for someone that didn’t bring their cymbals. Maybe don’t offer the cymbals anymore. I will 100% be back.

Recording at DOB studios has been a huge breakthrough. We always knew our songs were great. After recording here, everybody else finally thinks so too. Derek is not only an extraordinary engineer he will help you make the artistic choices to take your music to the next level. Together with Stan’s wonderful arrangements, I now can’t think of our songs any other way.
The equipment is all top of the line, with a $ 6000 microphone that was just a joy to sing into. I am downright startled by how amazing the quality of the recording was given the reasonable price.
Derek has a reserved demeanor and can seem a little scary at first, especially given the long list of impressive acts he has worked with. But don’t be late, don’t be flakey and be respectful and you are going to get along just fine and he is going to make you sound like a million bucks.

DOB ROCKS! They do great studio work i highly recommend recording here the house engineers are brilliant and its very economic they will work with your budget.

Recorded my 1^st album here. It sounded AWESOME!

First of all let me congratulate Derek O’Brien on opening up this fine establishment. My band, The Angry Lemons, practices here before shows to get our bearings on right and the guys here awesome. If you show up late, no problem; If you want to book an earlier time before they open they take their lunches with them. The guys before them at Basement were kinda douches, always on our case about the time.
They also do guitar repairs and recordings, however, they are still in construction to make the studios a lot bigger and better. They are stocked with amps, drums (w/​cymbals), and a PA as well. Derek O’Brien is a nice guy. He’s used to drum for a bunch of OC punk bands such as The Adolescents, Agent Orange, and Social Distortion. The prices are super cheap on the discounted early bird specials.
