  “Foxtail Sound is a great facility for any independent artist.  Low cost and low key but with all the engineering capability one could ask for.  Musicians enjoy working in the relaxed and productive atmosphere and Steve’s efficient work process keeps costs down.  Steve is not just a technician; he’s also a multi-instrument artist who really understands good tone and the sonic palette.  Steve also offers many extra services you won’t find elsewhere including arranging and transcription.  The final test of course, is the sound – it  doesn’t get any better.”
