“Working with Steve was an amazing experience for our whole band. Previously when we had gone into the studio, we basically had engineers. This was completely different. Steve was a far more involved producer than we had ever had. He has tons of great ideas, and he just knows how to make things sound good. Also, it seemed to me that whenever there was a part that just “needed something” Steve could figure out what it was, or at the very least, help us accomplish the ideas that we had. Steve has a ton of knowledge across the board, not only about recording, but about amps, effects, guitars etc. If you want to take the music you have written to a new level, and are willing to be open to lots of experimentation and fun, work with Steve. We will definitely be working with him again!”
- Tim Bradley, Orwell
“Working with Steve was not only a blast, but an educational experience at the same time. He brings a ton of good ideas to the table and can really explain them to you. I truly believe I got better at my instrument from his instructions and listening to his thoughts about how he felt things could be improved upon. He doesn’t push his opinions and he still lets your band be your band.”
- Jeremy Turek, Lost In Prague
“One of the most honest and hard-working dudes I have ever been around. Steve is a great addition to your team and we would definitely work with him again anytime.“
- Brian Nagan, Four Letter Lie
“I’ve brought a couple projects that I was asked to produce to Steve. He is an extremely competent engineer and is a blast to work with.He can do edits in the blink of an eye, so your time is not wasted. Steve will also offer his input to better a song if you want it, and he knows what he’s talking about. He also cares about the projects that he takes on and puts pride into making them sound good instead of just rushing clients in and out to make a quick buck. I’d recommend him to bands just starting out who need to get their music out there to the world and not have it sound like shit, to professional artists who need high quality pre-production for an upcoming album. Steve’s your guy.”

“Steve is an awesome person to work with. He made us all feel so at ease with the recording process that it pretty much felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. Which in turn he actually became. He really helped us realize what our potential was. You can hear the quality of his recordings on his page. I would recommend him over and over again to bands and artist that are looking for quality recordings.”
-Adam, Earn Your Stripes
“Recording with Steve Henningsgard was definitely an epic experience! He worked with us through everything 100%. He made everyone feel comfortable about our music and recording it. The recording process was so much fun because he works with such a positive atmosphere. The three days we recorded with him, we had so much fun and we are definitely interested in doing our next recordings with him. He’s a very talented musician and he’s amazing at what he loves. Recording.”
“Our experience with Steve was like hanging out with one of the guys.He made us feel at ease right away and brought out the best in our performances by making us comfortable in the studio. But make no mistake – this guy knows what he’s doing. He’ll tell it like it is and he’s extremely talented, passionate, and creative – he helped us to make our music better, letting us make all the decisions but giving his advice whenever we needed it. We spent 6 days with Steve and by the time we left we were sorry it was over. We are very happy with the experience alone and the fact that he has done an amazing job thus far with our music makes it that much better!”
- Devin Earlywine, Andover
“Working with Steve was fantastic. We were his first project, and we could not [have] been happier with the result. He is by far the best bang for your buck out there. He demanded the best out of us musically, and we ultimately came out of the experience better musicians! He provided a great environment for us, that made us very comfortable, and very easy for everyone to relax. His passion for music really shows in the way he goes about his work! He’s a great Recording Engineer, and a great person!”
