Studio Client & Student Testimonials

“Working with Aleyna was a joy and a privilege! She is an excellent engineer as well as an educator. I always felt comfortable whether I was learning from her behind the scenes or playing in front of the glass. She jumpstarted my education in recording techniques and patiently taught me so many valuable lessons! Cannot recommend her enough.”

"Aleyna is very professional and very easy-going at the same time. During the tutorial sessions, she can always quickly spot the problematic part in my mix, and provide effective ways to fix the issues. She is also very good at explaining concepts with language that's easy to understand for beginners. There was never any pressure during the communication, as she is always encouraging when I had any questions or broad ideas. The sessions have always been fruitful, and I learned a lot of practical things in the few hours working with her."  

-Sean Yun, UNT student, media composer

"It was really fun working with Aleyna! I enjoyed recording audio for sound design there because Aleyna was very patient, concise and professional. Being coached on how to move objects in relation to the microphone was very helpful. As a beginner in audio, I always felt comfortable communicating any concerns or questions I had about audio and Pro Tools. The knowledge Aleyna offered was invaluable and I learned a lot."

"Working with Aleyna in the studio was a very streamlined process - she has everything set up before I even walk in and runs the session efficiently. I was able to just play and run sections knowing she would be able to keep track of the various takes. After the actually recording, she translates all my vague musician speak into the mastering of the final track and it's always exactly what I wanted. Aleyna's experience with classical music and recording as a performer as well as an engineer made me extremely confident she was choosing microphones and setting them up to help me achieve the correct timbres/resonance/reverb for my recording tracks. Aleyna is amazing to work with, she is so flexible and accommodating during sessions. I never felt rushed or like I needed to adjust my process. She was very patient and willing to work with me to get the best takes possible. My recordings are amazing - they sound exactly as I wanted, professional and balanced.​"
