Affordable studio services is nothing less than top grade plus in sound recording. I have been playing professionally for forty eight years in most U.S. states, Europe, and Korea: the latter two were USO tours. I play and teach several instruments, sing lead and harmony, and am a song writer and producer. On stage I know how to entertain as well as work as a team in a group.

In my recording experience from New York City to Memphis Tn., to many studios in Missouri, none have come close to the overall quality of Chris and Stephie. I will have a top selling record in the future. It will probably come from the musical talent that Chris Bell has with his ability to render great quality music in his studio because of his depth of tecnical ability.

About eight months ago, I decided to convert a spare bedroom into a home studio, both for my personal use as a musician and as a potential source of income. I met Chris through an online recording forum. Via email and at no charge, Chris helped me choose a professional sound card that fit my needs and budget. Since then, with my DAW finally up and functioning, Chris has tutored me via telephone for about 10 hours.

With his help, I’ve built a used computer as a DAW, installed recording software (Sonar), configured my DAW settings to optimize digital recording and created my first stereo recording project. In addition, and probably more important, he has answered countless questions that only a total novice like me would ask.

I appreciate Chris on several levels. As a musician and as a recording engineer, he has tons of practical knowledge. As someone who has lived in the real world, he helped me find a way to set up a studio on a shoestring budget. During our phone sessions, I found him friendly and flexible. I’ll be calling you soon, Chris.

Since December last year, I have taken lessons over the phone from Chris Belle at Affordable Studio Services. I’ve had quite a few, since their rates are so affordable indeed that I don’t worry about how often I have them. The format is also so very flexible that I can call with a question or two and have just a half hour, should my available time be limited.

Chris is knowledgeable, patient, and has a great sense of humor. He is also totally accepting of the kind of music the student wants to play. His main goal, I feel, is to make me, as his student, able to do what I have in mind.

I have sharpened my ability to produce soundscape for our local theater productions, radio shows for our local radio stations, and accompaniments for myself as a performer. He will demystify those tricky situations where your computer doesn’t seem to want to cooperate with your keyboard, help you figure out what connections and settings to test, in short, help you trouble shoot, so you’re less discombobulated the next time you’re stuck. We have covered CDRCue, Sonar, SoundForge, Winamp and technical issues when considering whether to buy a digital work station.

I recommend Chris and his tutoring services wholeheartedly.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Chris Belle for eight years now. Chris produced an audio CD consisting of eighteen tracks for my nonprofit organization. His billing rates were very competitive, but the quality of his work was superb! Chris went way beyond the call of duty on this project. He took our eighteen amateur tracks and spit and polished them until they shown their finest! Chris also produced several fabulous audio PR sound clips for our web site.

I cannot recommend these folks strongly enough. You will not be disappointed! Their dedication to excellence is only surpassed by their creativity and their vast talent. Do yourself a favor, check out Chris Belle's music!
