What Our Clients Are SayingPassion, Pride and Integrity

“We needed a Mastering Engineer to master our album and several singles. Joe came highly recommended. The sound quality blew us away. The masters came out better than we ever imagined. Joe is a true professional and I highly recommend him."

Rude Bob / Guitar and Vocals, The Legendary Rude Awakening, Cleveland, OH

“Joe is literally a walking body of knowledge. He taught me about sound and helped me redesign my home studio to get better results. I seriously didn't think the acoustical and layout adjustments he made would make much of an impact but I was blown away how much better my mixes started to translate. I could finally hear what I was missing. Joe also helped me get better mastering results. I highly recommend Joe and Cliffhanger Studios.

Alex Artimez / Guitarist with Vince Nerone and The Band, Bassist with The Dream Analysis Cleveland, OH

“Cliffhanger Studios produced several videos for my new music store. Not only did they write the scripts and do the voiceovers, they created custom music just for Volume 11 Music! Exceptional work and a job well done. Extremely satisfied.”

Rich Haffa / Owner, Volume 11 Music, Fredericksburg, VA

“Joe from Cliffhanger Studios crafts my Helix guitar tones for my live rig. We always sound our best live when he's running sound at our shows. I've recorded several songs with Joe and he really brings my vocals and songs to life like they were meant to be.”

Todd Bluffestone / Vocals, Guitar, The Barcode Band, Cleveland, OH

“I've worked with Joe at Cliffhanger Studios for many years. When we did radio together he was Program Director with mad production skills! An awesome voice talent with a vision for crafting client commercials. I've worked on numerous projects with Joe and the finished product is always on point.”

Amy Ryan / Production Coordinator, Voiceover Talent, Radio Personality, Binnie Media, Portland, ME

“As a lifelong bassist and composer, I needed someone to show me how to use Logic Pro and record our jazz trio sessions. I am pretty computer savvy, however the recording ins and outs were more than I wanted to deal with. Joe came to my studio and immediately had me up and running. He made it easy for me to learn and use Logic Pro. We regularly work with Joe to record our jazz trio sessions."

Shaun Sterling / Bassist, Soul Groove Tribe, Warrensville, Hts, OH
 

“I recently ventured back into playing guitar and had a plethora or musical ideas I wanted to record during my songwriting sessions. Joe helped me select the right recording interface to fit my needs and showed me how to set up Studio One from Presonus to capture my musical creations. He is also helping me with a new video production project."

Professor K / Lakeland Community College, Kirtland, OH

“Joe has been a Godsend and I am very grateful for his wealth of knowledge. He helped me learn and navigate GarageBand so I can focus on my music. His flexibility to my needs is important and he even came out to my residence and helped set up my home studio. I highly recommend Joe and Studio Suite 71."

Dan C / Musician and Recording Artist, Painesville, OH
 

“Thanks to Joe for being the 5th member of our band. He's been our live sound engineer and always appreciated his help to get a great stage sound from my gear and help with my volume control (Usually on 11). It's always fun talking guitar shop with him."

Danny "The Rock Dawg" Sullivan / Lead Guitarist, The Barcode Band, Cleveland, OH

“A very special thank you to Joe at Cliffhanger Studios. I started playing guitar during Covid with no prior knowledge of anything musical except the sheer desire to learn. Over several months Joe helped me to pick out a new guitar, learn songs, and experience the delights of recording. Learning songs is one thing but putting them together is another and Joe is the man! His tremendous knack and experience in recording and production is astounding! My musical journey would not have started without Joe. You are the BEST, Thank you!”

Rohan Ghosh / Guitarist, Recording Client, Cleveland, OH

“Joe from Cliffhanger Studios has produced numerous video promos for my bands, The Barcode and 16 Strings. Joe's video promos helped grow our online following and turnout at shows. He's professional, affordable and gets the job done in a timely fashion. If you're in a band or own a small business it's seriously worth your time to see what Cliffhanger Studios can do for you."

Todd Bluffestone / Guitar and Vocals, 16 Strings and The Barcode Band, Cleveland, OH
