Whether you lay your tracks here or at another studio, AMA Sound is the place to go when it's time to mix and master your creation! We want to be your "home away from home" as far as the studio you go to when you're ready to put the "magic" into your project. We feel that it's not about us; it is all about the client and client satisfaction!
We're musicians ourselves. There are no "suits" here. We're all tried-and-true dedicated musicians and are intimately familiar with the ins and outs of getting your music to the top quality it deserves. We care about the artists and what they are trying to achieve. We don't have a group of investors to molly-coddle and that gives us the freedom to follow our conscience and do what is right; not what pays the most.
