Our San Jose Location

1620 Oakland Rd D200, San Jose, CA 95131

We’re located directly across the street from H-Mart & directly next to Echo Church.

When you arrive, you will know you are in the right place — our bold "Music Studio" sign is easy to spot as you face the building.

Directions

Parking & Arrival

Parking is usually easy to find, even during church service times on Sundays — feel free to park anywhere in the lot.

Please enter through the door directly across from Echo Church (the one facing their main entrance).

We recommend arriving 5–10 minutes before your session to get settled, but not earlier than 10 minutes prior, as we may be finishing up another session or preparing for yours.

Follow the signs, bring your music, and come right in — we’re excited to welcome you!

P.S. We have six music stands, a cellist’s adjustable chair, and two cello endpins available for your use.

Visit the Lobby

Our lobby is more than a waiting area — it’s a relaxing space that seats 35+ guests and adapts easily for receptions, private events, or small gatherings.

We provide tables, chairs, and setup support so guests can enjoy an intimate, welcoming atmosphere before or after your recital or recording.

There’s room for your belongings, catered food, light décor, and refreshments. All recording sessions include complimentary healthy snacks and beverages.

Whether you’re recording, performing, or celebrating — we’re here to make it smooth and memorable.

Start Recording

Once you’re settled, you’ll begin playing. While you perform, our engineer will fine-tune the sound adjusting mic placement and room balance to perfectly match your instrument and playing style. Levels are monitored in real time, allowing you to focus entirely on the music.

Whether it’s your first professional recording or your next competition project, you’ll feel the calm, focused energy of the studio the moment you begin.

Studio Policy

Sound Check

After your first take, we’ll pause for a full listen-through together. This step ensures that everything — tone, balance, and room sound — feels just right to you.

We encourage every musician to listen carefully to the entire first recording before moving on. It’s the best way to confirm that the microphones, acoustics, and performance are captured exactly as you envision.

After Your Session

After your session, our engineer will upload your final audio takes to Google Drive for you to review. When you let us know which takes you’d like synced with your videos, we’ll begin the editing process.

During this stage, we ensure your video is bright and clear and your sound is balanced and natural. You’re welcome to request additional edits — such as lighting adjustments or subtle audio refinements — when you confirm your selected takes.

Final videos are typically delivered within 72 hours after your selections are confirmed.
Need them sooner? Express delivery within 24 hours is available for an additional $100.
