"Elliot is an amazing engineer with years of experience! Whether you are just starting out trying to figure out how you want your project/song to sound, or you’ve already got tracks ready to be mixed, or you want to record with your entire band, he’s got you covered with the space and technology to do it! He can help you build the song from scratch, or mix what you’ve got done already. Great place for beginning, intermediate, and advanced songwriters and musicians. He can help on practically any music genre as well. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!"

"Very welcoming environment had a great time working with Elliott and his team. Vast range of equipment and instruments to use in any situation. Fun atmosphere to experiment with different sounds and get out of your comfort zone. Was nervous going in to the studio to record but was very satisfied with the resources and team ready and willing to help record our album!"

"If you are a musician, vocalist, or want to record anything you must check Hear No Evil recording studio in Orange County out! This is a top-notch, high-quality recording studio. Elliot Koenig is the owner and engineer. His credentials are impressive and he is creative in all areas of music. He has a dynamic personality and is not afraid to make commits on music which helps improve the recording experience. His extensive experience in all areas of audio recording is shown in all his work. Just outstanding! This studio’s technicians are so friendly and full of great advice. I am the manager of a progressive rock band named War le Fäy and they have recorded three albums at Hear No Evil Studio. Fantastic Quality! Give them a call. Thank you Hear No Evil for all your great work!"

"I just recorded with Hear No Evil Studio and it was amazing! I just recorded my first book for audible. I loved the entire process, and working with Elliot was such a gift! He is professional, caring, and incredibly good at what he does. He is more of an artist (in my opinion) than an engineer. He is so in tune with the entire process of recording that it's like he is "making art" and loving what he is doing! It is clear that this is Elliot's passion! Thank you Hear No Evil Studio! You guys rock!"

"My band has been recording here for over 2 years now and I must say it has definitely allowed us to grow and expand our sound. Elliot and his engineer Brent are very talented and knowledgable about their craft. This studio is like home to us. Anyone who has the patience and dedication to put into their music would understand that it is a timely process that cannot be done in just a few hours, and we are very thankful that the people here have made it so comfortable for us to spend many hours over the years to create and explore our sound. Elliot is also very generous as to let all his clients use his equipment (which ranges from countless guitars, mics, drum sets and more) to achieve the sound they desire. If you're thinking about recording with Hear No Evil, you can't go wrong."

— Chris Noggle


"Besides being an incredibly versatile and talented musician himself, Elliot also has a wealth of addtitional talent at his fingertips. His connections with other talented musicians seems endless. He is able to book any instrumentalist or vocalist deemed valuable to your project and have them perfectly lined up during your session. In addition, he has a large collection of instruments of his own in his studio available for use during any session. Besides several drum kits, he has an impressive collection of guitars in a store like display behind glass readily available to pull out on a moments notice to add a live feel to your song. He is an amazingly gifted guitarist capable of instinctively adding the perfect instrumentation to any song regardless of the genre."

— Pamela Jean Jensen


"Really great studio! Elliott is extremely qualified for the job he is doing. He is a great producer and engineer and uses top quality technology. I love recording at this studio, love the product I get back, and love the process! 10/10 recommend going to this studio! Such better rates than maybe studios I’ve seen as well!"

— Sophia Rollando


"I had a really great experience recording with Elliot. He's got a great ear and is really experienced with making edits quickly and skillfully. The end result was beautifully done. He also has a nice balance creating both a professional and comfortable environment in the studio. You won't be disappointed if you record here."

— Erin Opray


"When I came into the studio for my first time, I was pretty nervous about getting my song right and doubting my capabilities but With Elliot’s professionalism, positive vibes, prices and some of the best recording equipment in the industry I was able to knock my song out of the park and I had a lot of fun doing it. I’ll be going back to hear no evil studios for my next song for sure."

— Hans Schneider


"We have been working with Elliot on the production of a music album for over an year. It has been a pleasant experience to work with Elliot. He is talented, skillful, and loving to give us a lot of great help. He is extremely professional in music production, and is familiar with different music styles. His studio has numerous collections of great instruments. For myself, the best place in his studio is to sit in front of the grand piano and the unexpected great melody was naturally flowing out. His collection of over 40 guitars in his guitar room is amazing to everyone. Not to mention the number of microphones he has in his studio, we can easily pick the microphones we need for recording. We are not even able to count how many plugins he has for Pro Tools. We highly recommend “Hear No Evil Studio” for anyone who is seeking for high quality music production."

— Jack JC Wang


"Elliot and his crew are extremely knowledgable and great to work with. The most professional studio I've been equipment wise, atmosphere and knowledge and experience of the team there. Blessed to record here with my band and another project I've been in. A creative space for any recording artist. Great spot full circle and everything you need to manifest your vision. Surrounded by art on the walls to ceiling and vintage music equipment for the old sounds you may be going for to the latest and top notch gear. You get immediate results of the progress of your songs after the session to review and assess for future sessions. Hear no evil for da WIN!"

— D. Scotty Salmon


"Needed voice lines recorded for a short film. The studio was GREAT -- professional, easy to work with, and had a quick turnaround when it came to getting my files. They even helped me resolve an issue after I lost the files on my end. Would definitely recommend."

— Aidan Bae


"Lots I could say about Elliot and Hear No Evil Studio. My writing partner and I have been to a few studios in the Los Angeles/Orange County area, and Hear No Evil is our new favorite. Best part is that there's no BS. We have a good time working on the music and we take care of business.
With an arsenal of great musicians and engineers, Hear No Evil is the place to get your art done. Elliot listens, he's got a good ear, he doesn't get upset in the process (or at least he does a good job not showing it, ha). Those are just a few of the things that give me the confidence and excitement to go back for more! Looking forward to the next jam!"

— Eric Ronquillo


"Really fun and unique space for sure! Done a few sessions now with a four piece band. Elliott has the knowledge and equipment to get the right sound you are looking for. Definitely has the largest collection of vintage guitars, effects pedals and microphones I’ve ever seen! All to be used at the discretion of those recording. I highly recommend the studio!"

— Philip Maluso


"Elliott is amazing. He's always able to get the very best sound for our recordings in a remarkably short amount of time. Excellent pre and post production as well. The mixes are always impeccable. Highly recommended!"

— Guy Babusek


"I recently was an intern at Hear No Evil Studios working under Elliot. I had a great experience here and couldn’t have asked for a better studio to intern at. Elliot always took the time to answer any questions I had and was very open to sharing his knowledge of the recording process with me. During any given session, I would set up the microphones for the session and then observe the process. Elliot always took the time to make sure the client was getting the best possible product out of their time and always made sure the clients felt comfortable during their time in the studio. The studio is a great environment and I recommend it and Elliot highly to anyone that is looking to book studio time for a new project."

— Jacob Shive


"For any author in the SoCal region looking to take their career to the next level and record and narrate their audiobook, Hear No Evil Studios is the only studio I’ll be using for my book recordings going forward. I highly recommend you do too."

— Troy Aaron Ratliff


"Elliot was wonderful to work with! Extremely professional, on top of details, willing to go the extra mile, and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of recording/producing. We went to Hear No Evil to record an audiobook, and were extremely pleased with the quality of the studio and equipment, Elliot's guidance and technical work, and the product. Highly recommend!"

— Bhavna Vashisht


"I've done a fair amount of work at Hear No Evil and it is always the most comfortable and accommodating environment a musician or producer could ask for. Especially for independent artists of almost any style. My band recently spent two days recording drums here and it was everything I look for in a session that presents as many demands as drum tracking does. Elliot Koenig is a master of his craft and makes sure your work gets done right every time. You cannot go wrong with the professionalism and the overall creative vibe Hear No Evil offers."

— Fact Pattern


"First of all Elliot's a really cool dude. Recording typically takes a long time and it can be a drag if you don't dig the people you work with. Second, Elliot has a wide array of killer gear (pedals, amps, mics, Hammond Organ) and a great understanding of how every genre (as far as I can tell) of music functions. He always has great input on making your songs better but is totally cool if you don't wanna take his suggestions. Lastly, he's affordable. I've played the stuff he's worked on for me for other people and they can't believe how little I paid for the quality of work."

— Sam Greenspan

"Excellent service, extremely professional, top tier recording and sound equipment! Highly recommended.. only studio I mess with in the OC! BIG SHOUTOUT to the hip hop engineer Jacob Shive, super talented! Also very easy to work with. Great people, great vibes."

— Drewbee Mane


"Elliott is a skilled and talented musician who knows what he's doing. He is patient and kind and his passion for music shows in his work- he is amazing! His studio is the best recording studio in orange county."

— Lauren Powell


"I have nothing but good things to say about Hear No Evil! Tons of gear, beautiful space and Elliot is a genius! He has a great ear, fantastic ideas and is so fun to work with! I’ve been to a ton of studios throughout LA/OC and Hear No Evil is by far my favorite. 10/10 recommend!"

— Louise Lewin


"Elliot is one of the best audio producers I've had the pleasure of working with! We recorded an entire book in his space, and from start to finish he made me feel comfortable and welcome, expertly guiding the recording and providing top notch equipment and expertise to turn my memoir into an audio book. He's got a great collection of vintage microphones, and I even got to check out the Glockenspiel amongst a broad array of musical instruments in the larger studio room. From recording an album, to a podcast, to a book, you will hear no evil here, just the sweet Melodies of your creativity in hi-fi stereo sound! Can't wait for the next project."

— Stuart Palley


"This dude Elliot is for sure a professional. As a thrash band of four we layed down 13 tracks in one weekend and vocals in another. The studio is very comfortable and well maintained. He has everything he needs to get the right sound you could want. Keep your guitarists on a leash because they're easily distracted here. Can't wait for those masters!"

— Don Sanchez


"Hi, this is Ben E.Jet Burrell from War le Fäy progressive rock band. We do all of our recordings at Hear No Evil Studio in the OC area. The best recording studio in the area! Great instruments! Many recording rooms. Elliot Koenig, the lead engineer is amazing. My band is heavy and we got the heavy sounds exactly as we want. The music is mixed perfectly with our band’s sound. We have used this recording studio for all three of our albums. Check our music out on all major platforms and give Hear No Evil your audio business."

— Benjamin James Burrell


"I booked a session for my funky rock band to record a 4 song EP. We knocked the whole project out on schedule and with great results. Best thing about this studio is there is a mountain of gear available to use with no extra hidden charges. Elliot is very familiar his toys and can quickly put it all into action. Was fun to spend some time experimenting with dialing in unique sounds. Really added to the final product. Elliot is a very nice person."

— Brandon Grna


"Working with Elliot is an experience you shouldn't pass up. He's a creative wild card and you never know what shenanigans he's gonna come up with next. The studio is lively, vibrant, and sound incredible. You'll wanna book a session here. He absolutely knows his stuff and he's tons of fun to work with! Thanks Elliot!"

— Christopher


"The studio itself was everything I could ask for. We recorded acoustic guitar "live" through a mic'd amp in the performance room, electric guitar and bass DI in the mixing booth and vocals in the vocal booth. At one point, while we were recording my acoustic guitar (and it sounding really good,) Elliot suggested we switch to an acoustic he had in the studio. It made a world of difference with a tone more appropriate for the style I was going for. The selection of instruments and amplifiers Elliot has can supplement or substitute for any that a musician may bring."

— Jerry Fried


"As a musician who works with Hear No Evil Studio on a regular basis I have experienced consistent success throughout the projects I have had the pleasure to be a part of here. On all my personal accounts, Mr. Koenig along with all the staff work hard to uphold their sense of pride, dedication, integrity and hard work for every client to create an efficient working environment. I've never seen anything but the best interests of the musician be held in the highest regard when making decisions about the material being produced here. All in all, the industry of recording production is an essential part of music as a whole and I have never felt like I have had the most opportunity as a bass player than here. I look forward to every session here that I am a part of and to working with any new and old artists to the studio because I know that the work I contribute to is something I can be proud of."

— Jacob Partida


"I can’t say enough about how great my experience with Elliot and Hear No Evil Studio was (and continues to be). I’m an east coast musician that was looking for a studio to record one song in SoCal. I read testimonials, made calls to several studios then rolled the dice and picked Hear No Evil. It was the best decision I could’ve made. The vibe at HNE was very relaxed and very professional. Elliot has amazing instincts and is a great guy to spend studio time with. He’s an awesome musician in his own right and is extremely knowledgeable. If you go with Hear No Evil for your next musical project you will not regret it. Thanks again, Elliot."
