Nice Spot, perfect for recording a podcast. Also opened 24 hours which was perfect since I was in a pinch. The contact was helpful, responsive, and made my experience with Oxford Studios very enjoyable

This space was easy to book with excellent communication and very thorough details regarding entry, AC, lighting and parking. The location was very clean, as were the restrooms. We were filming stylized close-up shots of props for a documentary. We were not recording sound, but we noted the space was very quiet for most of the day had we wanted to record sound. We would definitely return to this space.

The team at Colorado Sound were amazing from start to finish. Their communication and attention to detail were next level. They were able to facilitate all of our request for our live stream. They allowed us to have a scout the day before, and they provided the best experience. Our live stream ran smoothly and our talent was very happy with the crew and quality of their work.
