"I interviewed many designers and contractors to build my dream studio. After I visited my friend and fellow composer Paul Dinletir’s studio (audiomachine) that was built by Steven, I immediately knew he was the right choice.
Located in a quiet neighborhood, my room had many challenges. Because of its location and scenic views, I wanted large windows and needed to be sure I would not create a disturbance. Steven’s design and creative solutions solved my many concerns and exceeded my every expectation. My studio sounds and looks incredible.
Under Steven’s watchful eye, his crew was highly professional, efficient, and solved complex problems with amazing results. When it comes to recording studios, acoustic treatments, design, and construction, I would recommend Steven Klein for any job, any size. Thanks again to Steven and his great crew! “

"I first meet Steven in 2000 when I hired him as a consultant for my small home project studio. His approach, recommendations, and results turned unusable rooms into viable production space. When I sold my home, the buyer insisted that I leave my studio as is. I looked forward to building my ultimate studio with Steven.
Completed in 2010, Sea Vista, is a state of the art recording facility. Steven successfully resolved fundamental flaws in the room I wanted as my control room. He transformed the biggest problems of asymmetry, poor ratios, peaked ceilings, and existing windows, into magnificent highlights. The warmth of the color palette inspires creativity. I wanted to display my guitar collection; it is now a main feature of the room.
Steven brought a commitment to excellence to every detail. The acoustics are amazing, the translation of my work to the outside world is something I don’t need to think about. The custom furniture draws remarks from everyone. My band loves rehearsing and recording in the performance rooms. Steven not only built my studio he has built a friendship that will last. He has earned a 5 star recommendation. “

"Steven Klein brings a lifetime of experience into building studios. The attention to detail and quality of work is unsurpassed. My new studio is a work of art and has exceeded all my expectations. Steven Klein is about solutions and his crew is top notch. “

“My recording studio, designed and built by Steven Klein, is simply, my, “Dream studio.” Literally, the studio I’ve always dreamt of having. It is also the best studio I’ve ever worked in, and I’ve worked in many Nashville and L.A. so called, “pro” studios. Despite the close proximity to the 405 Freeway AND the Van Nuys Airport, I’ve never had any problems whatsoever with outside sound or noise interference. The acoustics of the place are simply, “perfect.” This is the only studio I’ve ever worked in where I can simply put a microphone in front of a musician and say, “Play,” and it sounds good. I would recommend Steven Klein without reservation for any studio design, consultation, or construction or remodel project, of any kind, period. My studio may be viewed at its website, www.m-pirerecordingstudio.com. There is a, “Testimonials” page on that site where some of my clients offer their comments about my studio and its design. I will gladly accept questions or requests for personal references. “

“I waited two years for Steven Klein to have time to build two new studios for me and it was well worth the wait. Steven and his crew far exceeded my expectations. They came when they said they would and finished on time and within budget. I even had three other studios working during the construction. Steven’s crews are high quality people and did not interfere with my high profile clients. They were totally professional. The two studios sound great and looked marvelous. I recently sold the business. The new owners made some surface updates to the other rooms Steven remodeled 9 years ago. They couldn’t bring themselves to change anything in the two new studios. They say they’re beautiful. This is just one example of Sound Control Room, Inc work quality. Thank you Steven!”

"Steven Klein transformed what was simply an industrial warehouse space into a composer's dream studio. His pragmatic approach in every detail from the design, materials, use of space and installation helped keep costs reasonable while providing a world class creative environment. I encourage anyone considering a custom studio to first consult with Steven to determine the best avenue to reach their goals within their budget."

“In looking to build what would be my 3rd studio in 1999, I interviewed several studio designer/builders and finally met Steven Klein. I knew immediately that he would be the one to build what I needed. It was a very ambitious project as there was no existing structure and everything had to be built from the dirt up. Steven designed, contracted, and built a beautiful studio for me which has been my main place of work and in constant use for the last decade. It was done on time and on budget. His no-compromise attention to detail and finish puts him in a league of his own. We are still very good friends (how many people can say that about their contractor after such a huge undertaking) and every time I’ve needed additional work such as adding diffusers, hanging large speakers and LCD flat screens, I don’t hesitate to call Steven because I know that the job will be done right. Thanks for everything Steven.”

“When I acquired the sound facility that became The Magnolia Studios, I knew there was one contractor who combined the requisite skills and understanding to take an old, out-of-date mix room, and turn it into the THX certified Mixing stage of my dreams. Steve Klein turned The Magnolia Studios' Stage A into a first class, THX-certified, digital mixing theater, that was a great example of digital audio post in a comfortable 21st century environment. I would trust Steve Klein with ANY studio project I would build, anytime, anywhere. Combining his many years of experience as a top recording engineer, with his construction knowledge, Steve "gets audio", and always has. He delivers studios on time, and on budget.“

"Steve and company provided solutions for our new offices and edit suites that are acoustically and aesthetically pleasing, at prices we could afford. His installation crew is top notch."

"Steven Klein designed our recording area and control rooms which were completed in 2005. Since then we have recorded over 30 projects in this private production studio. We are very satisfied with his work and thrilled with the sonic results, both in the control room monitoring environment and in the ability to record everything from tight rhythm sections to strings and horns with remarkable fidelity and presence.“

“I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your design of my third version of Giant Steps Recording. You did a tremendous job especially since the studio is on the east coast. You were very accessibly, thorough and easy to work with. It looks great, feels great, and sounds great. I can’t tell you how many of my clients have commented on how spacious and open it feels. They just love the vibe. I hadn’t planned on recording big bands with this facility due to the size, but I was convinced on giving it a try and as a result have been booking quite a few 15-17 piece horn bands. The tracking rooms sound so musical making it so easy to get good sounds. Thanks again for a job well done.“
