Always a great experience. I worked with Dan Babai this time and he listens, pays attention to detail, and has lots, and lots of patience. Also, he is extremely talented. Sam and Dave are also wonderful jewels in the studio. I had the pleasure to worked with Dave before, and it is the reason why I came back. Their professionalism, talent, attention to your work and willingness to honor every request until you are happy--not to mention the price--is a valuable reason for you to head to their studio, and be ready to accomplish anything you propose to do with your music, vocals, etc. I highly recommend all of them, and I will be back, for sure, to work wit Dan Babai again!!

As the manager for AHMIR, the #1 R&B Group on YouTube with over 100 million views, it was imperative to find a high quality studio to replace our existing spot at 12th Note Productions which relocated. We needed a spot with top notch engineers well versed in all musical genres, accommodating scheduling, reasonable prices and most of all friendly and personable individuals. After a lengthy search, Ugly Duck was the ideal spot! Sam and David are wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with. They have been more than what I expected and I recommend Ugly Duck for anyone around the Boston area to use them. OH, did I mention they have full on video production and editing capabilities too!!!?

Sam and David are a couple of the best engineers/ producers that I have had the pleasure of working with. At Ugly Duck, they handle everything from recording to video production and treat each project as if it were their own. An artist has to be very vulnerable to come into a new studio and work with people for the first time. After my first visit and ensuing session at Ugly Duck, I knew that it was a place I would frequent based on the vibe and the work ethic of the their engineers. Looking forward to the next sesh!

The crew at Ugly Duck was incredibly accommodating and fun to work with! We were producing high-end educational videos, and they were great at understanding and executing on our vision. It's clear that Ugly Duck is flexible and good enough to produce a very wide range of content. They struck a great balance of casual and professional, and our end result was exactly what we wanted! We will be using them for all of our future production needs as we were super impressed with the results, the consultant nature of the filming, and the great vibes from the whole crew! More...

We did a 4 song EP, at Ugly Duck and it was a really excellent experience. Dave has an amazing command of the technology and a great ear. In fact, we were going to have someone else mix the album be we ended up liking Dave's work so much that we asked him to mix it as well, and we're so happy with the way everything came out. Everything was very professional, but also laid back enough to provide a nice atmosphere for recording. More...

My band went to Ugly Duck looking to record 6 songs. We only had the budget to do 4 days and they made it happen. We all had such a great time in the studio and the final product was better than we could have imagined. Our engineer, Dave, offered a ton of ideas and really helped to shape our songs. We had an amazing experience and definitely will be back! More...

Stellar studio, awesome engineers, and top-notch service. I am a voiceover actor, and I needed to have an audiobook mastered. Working with David Chapman was a fantastic experience. He truly knows his stuff, and is incredibly patient. He even helped me swap out a few tracks for better reads -- which would have taken me hours. With his help, it was done in minutes. Ugly Duck Studios is my go-to for all of my voiceover needs! More...

I have done two sessions at the Duck. The staff is unbelievably professional, courteous, and also very funny. Dave, who was running our session, offered really helpful advice in regards to the music, and made everyone feel comfortable in the live room. Dave is a very smart guy with an unbelievably quick wit. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the sessions. I've recorded in quite a few studios in Boston and NYC, and I don't think I've ever been as comfortable as I was at the Duck. Great vibe, great guys, and absolute pros through and through. More...

Came into Ugly Duck looking for little more than a souvenir and left with a full EP that I couldn't be prouder of. The whole studio has a great vibe, that was easygoing and super high quality at the same time. Dave was fantastic to work with--he managed to balance giving our band a ton of support and autonomy with adding his two cents when he had really great ideas. Our music benefited for it, and out of all the recording studios in Boston we could have ended up in, I'm super glad we chose Ugly Duck. More...

Ugly Duck Studios, simply put, is nothing but PERFECTION.After looking around for months trying to find the perfect studio for our recording needs, my band and I finally decided to work with Ugly Duck. We couldn’t have been happier with the results! This place was excellent. The engineers were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the entire process and we were able to physically record 8 songs in only 2.5 days! The mixing and mastering process, which they also provide, only took a couple weeks to get everything sounding perfect. The studio’s easy going and relaxed atmosphere helped us do what we had to do to get the job done with ease. It was all just super smooth.The studio we used was gorgeous and has some amazing facilities. Clean and organized, I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to record ANYTHING.Great place, and my band and I will definitely be back to record more.Need a sample?
