"As the owner of a high profile media house in Los Angeles, I don't even consider audio houses that don't have a superb record and top-of-the-line equipment. Oakwood Sound Design turned out to be a flawless choice on both counts and allowed me to get the perfect score created for a very important project!!"

- Andy Yardy, Co-Owner of New Link Media

"I'm an independent film maker who has run into some of the most high pressure situations imaginable, from re-dubbing and re-syncing a full-length feature to having to attach an entire film/sound rig to a mobile dummy for a documentary. In all of these situations, John Howard at Oakwood Sound Design has proved himself more than equal to any need I've run into."

- Jeremy Hanke, Director of Viking Productions

"[Oakwood Sound Design] is at the very least the finest recording studio I've ever had the privilege of working with. John Howard has the special and rare sort of brilliance that knows the fine balance between producer input and artist autonomy. Added to that is the superior quality of equipment that I was allowed to drool over. I highly recommend Oakwood Sound Design to anyone looking to record something they want to be proud of."

- Matt Swaim, Lead Singer for Heros Of the Torah

"I have visited dozens of studios all across Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee. This is the cleanest sounding studio I have ever worked in. The amount of precision and control that can be extracted from a recorded performance will blow you away. Their MIDI capabilities are astounding and the vocal setup is the best anywhere around."

- Patrick Scott, Independent Studio Artist

"As the band I play in, Wake, was in search of a studio to record our first CD, we had two primary requirements: a place that would offer a professional sound and a great experience. Our expectations were far met and surpassed at Oakwood Sound Design. When we arrived at Oakwood for the first time, we were introduced to owner/chief engineer, John Howard. We found John very easy to work with from the very beginning with his open spirit and professional attitude. The atmosphere was always fun and laid back, and when it came to recording and producing, John never ceased to amaze me. He comes from a very musical background, so we appreciated his input greatly, especially since his ideas made the songs sound 100% better. Oakwood offered us the best service possible, whether that meant having to purchase new equipment to record our huge percussion section, or taking a little time to explain what a particular audio tool is and why it works the way it does. OSD gave us 100% and beyond!
