Testimonials

  • "Trevor wholeheartedly embraced our vision, resulting in a final product that exceeded our wildest expectations. Throughout the process, we never felt rushed, as Trevor always ensured there was ample time and space for us to bring forth any additional creative ideas we had, both during recording and post-production. While the studio itself is amazing, it was truly the privilege of collaborating with such a genuinely kind, talented, passionately driven, focused, and objective sound professional that made the experience truly extraordinary."

  • "Trevor is a great and versatile producer, engineer, and musician and did a fantastic job helping bring my musical ideas into reality for a very reasonable rate. He provided really good insights and suggestions throughout the process, which was really helpful since it was my first time professionally recording music. I would highly recommend Cactus House to any musicians looking for a place to record their next project in the South Bay!"

    Edward Benkhin (The Groovy Lalo)

  • I have been working with Trevor and Cactus House Recording for four years now. Having experience in various recording studios and set-ups, Trevor is hands down one of the best producers when it comes to recording. He will help you achieve your sound. Not once was I rushed or discouraged from my artistic goals. At Cactus House Recording, you will find all the necessary tools and much more. Whatever you're working on, demos, album or just something for fun, Cactus House Recording is the way to go.

    Charlie Hanlon (Dark Satellite)

  • Trevor is the man! I've tracked at Cactus House a few times now and it's a great place to record. Good vibes and a nice sounding room, what more do you want? Trevor is very professional and he works quickly to dial in mics + gear so that you can start tracking immediately.

    Matthew Condino (Grace and The Grit, Kruel Summer)

  • We recorded an EP and album with Trevor at Cactus House Recording. We’ve had 3 sessions total and every session is better than the last as Trevor dials in our sound! The studio itself is cozy and welcoming, with lots of instruments and amps at our disposal. Trevor is an excellent recording engineer and did a great job mixing our tracks. One stop shop for mixing, mastering, and distribution. We can’t wait to get back in the studio. Also, the kitties Miso and Ash are super cute and fun to hang out with when not tracking. Erika is the sweetest and makes you feel right at home.

  • Not only is this man a great producer, he's also an amazing guitar player. The studio is top notch and if you need any extra help on a recording, he's got your back. Deep knowledge on the bay area music scene. I'd like to drop the top secret nickname but that'll cost ya.

    Phil Zigler (Relapse)

  • He mixed / recorded multiple albums for me these past couple years and they are amazing! He is great to work with and really got the most out of the songs that I recorded. I definitely recommend Cactus House.

    Travis Drumm (Dark Satellite, Session Musician)

  • Trevor is an outstanding individual when it comes to music. His knowledge and expertise greatly helped our EP and without his help we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what we wanted to musically. He made us very welcome and invited and gave us in depth help with the aether we didn’t know beforehand. If I could give 6 stars I would.

    Austin Kane (Monarchy Of Roses)

  • I came to Cactus House seeking to produce some original music for a video game I have in development. Trevor not only delivered, but knocked it out of the park. We talked about what kind of mood and narrative the music needed to set: I wanted a modern take on the kind of music that SEGA used to accompany their console and arcade games with. Trevor gave me this beautifully polished, full-blown, studio-grade original soundtrack that would rival the classics. No matter what style or genre your album or project requires, Cactus House has the musical chops, equipment, and technical prowess for you.

    Jonny Ashley (Video Game Developer)

  • Trevor is an amazing person with a great passion for music and the process of recording. I've worked with him several times on different projects and it's always been a smooth and quick process. He's got a great amount of knowledge when it comes to his equipment and knows how to utilize every piece of his studio. Everything he uses is top notch and is always developing new ideas and techniques. Him being an active live and recording musician means he can relate with musicians coming into the studio with their wants and understands what they're talking about. The studio is super nice and comfy.
