"When I began my search for the right studio, as a musical theatre singer, many of the studios seemed focused on indie, rock and pop bands. I stumbled across univibe on google and am so very glad I did. Upon arrival I was greeted by the My producer for the day, Joel Spencer who proceeded to show me around the extensive and highly sophisticated facilities univibe have to offer. I had prepared several backing tracks, some of which were in the wrong keys, were of poor quality or hadnt copied to CD correctly. Joel was, in the space of minutes, able to tailor them to my needs flawlessly. My main aim was for a recording that sounded of fantastic quality but still true to how I sound. Joel has a fantastic ear for this and was very willing to offer criticism and also advise on arrangements and melodic choices to enhance my performance. I will most certainly record with univibe audio time and time again and would strongly recommend you to do the same. You will not be disappointed. 10/10" Scott Storey

"Univibe is a studio we have used on several occasions and would not hesitate to go back there again. The studio has great equipment & backline available - from a Pearl Drum kit that didn't make our drummer scream in rage to the 1970's Marshall JMP head is so beautiful it will make you cry, seriously, it's why ears were invented.The biggest reason to use Univibe though is the engineers. They enjoy what they do and they take great pride in getting the absolute best sound out of a band despite the usual limitations of time & budget. They will be as constructive & helpful as you need them to be, they are genuinely there to make the best out of your sound.Highly recommended for all types of bands / musicians especially those looking for a high quality product whilst working on a tight budget.

"The work we have always had done at Univibe Audio has been fantastic. The place is comfortable to be and go in and record. Joel Spencer the Engineer we had, was brilliant not only did he get us some amazing recordings he helped us include bits and peices on the recordings that made it sound impressive. Would advise this studio to anybody. " Ashley - Formal Warning

"We have been recording with Joel at Univibe for over 5 years now. certain tracks from our first album were recorded by him, and all of our work since has also been done by him, firstly at his studios inside JJM in walsall, and more recently in his custom built facilities in the heart of birmingham. Joel is an excellent sound engineer, producer and all round pleasure to work with. He knows just the right way to help you get 'that one take', be it that you're not playing with enough conviction, or that he can see you're too tired and may suggest coming back for a fresh try on another day. The quality of the recordings, and the equipment at univibe really are of top quality, and you only have to look at the wide range and diversity of the microphones, and mic pre-amps that they have to work with to get a sense that univibe truly understand their craft. And at the prices absolutely no-one can complain. Also as a hobbyist sound engineer who does demo recordings and scratch recordings for my band, before going to Joel for the real article, Joel has always been there to offer useful advice and tips for improvement. check out our music at www.mivvi.co.uk, we will be releasing our second album, which is wholly recorded by Joel, mid 2010.

"We have only been able to record one 12 hour session with Joel at univibe so far but it was a very good experience. We were made to feel comfortable and felt like he understood the kind of sounds and grooves we were after. I also feel he got the best out of our singer during the vocal takes which is always important. A shared interest in Elliott Smith was a bonus:) the equipment at hand was varied and interesting and we felt that the final recording was better than we had imagined and definately better than the ones we had been doing ourselves prior ro Univibe. We look forward to recording with him again soon and learning more tricks like we did the last time. Highly Recommended. " Plastic Glasses

"Univibe audio is a fantastic studio in Birmingham run by resident sound guru Joel. His great talent to work with and get the best out of anybody combined with his awesome studio skills mean you come out of any session with just the result you always wanted. Having used many other local studios, some charging more money per hour Univibe is clearly the best, book your session now, you will not be dissapointed. I certainly will be going back. "Steve - Fear Without reason

"I've been to Univibe on numerous occasions now and have always been really happy with the results. Joel is an excellent, hard working engineer / producer and is really is easy to work with. The equipment he has there is 2nd to none and he always makes a real effort to get the sound just right no matter what the circumstances. I can highly reccommend Joel and the whole experience at Univibe. "James Rawson - Smooth Criminals

"Long Day Gone have recorded at univibe more times than we can remember, from the early beginnings we have always used Univibe, Joel is an outstanding producer he knows what the song needs when recording. He gets the best drum sound we have ever recorded, We have released 2 singles doing all the tracks at univibe. Infact we are recording our next single at Univibe as we speak"

"We are just heading into our fourth session at univibe, always a great experience, and always feel welcome. Tracks always sound great, and you feel comfortable while you are recording them. I never even consider going elsewhere. "James - The Late Eighties
