What people are saying about A.M.E...

"Andy is amazingly professional in what he does, his character and wit make him a pleasure to work with. Creative ideas seem to flow from him, and his "ear for tuning" is second to none. Because Andy is flexible with his hours, our members were able to record everything without missing valuable work or school time. Our first recording experience was extremely interactive, and entertaining to say the least, we learned more in a week than we ever could have in a year with out him. As far as I am concerned, Andy is the best in the field, hands down and ears up." - Jordan Embury (The Risen)	"I couldn't be happier that my first professional recording experience was at AME Studio! Intimidated as I was at the beginning - afraid of tripping and breaking something - it didn't take long to feel at home and comfortable with Andy. His totally creative idea's for my songs got me pumped right from the beginning. His knowledge of arranging, recording, mixing and mastering gave me all the faith and confidence in him. Not only did he contribute countless awesome ideas to the album but he was also very receptive to what I had to say and to how I wanted things to sound. The end result rocks and has totally exceeded my expectations! THANKS ANDY!!!!!!!!!" - Katie Workman

"Having recently completed my second CD with Andrew at AME, I once again am amazed the creative genius I see at work there. With the desire to see the artists goals achieved and a great attention to detail, AME is a superb choice for those who desire to make a quality record." - Jody Cross	"Andy, I just wanted to thank you again for making our session so enjoyable and productive. It's always nice to have some outside influence on these kind of projects. Both Nick and myself really appreciated your ideas and insights. We've both worked with some hellish "producers" so we really can appreciate and respect someone who knows how to work "with" a band and their ideas as well as adding something to that." - David Rosenburg (the Leah Zicari Band)
"Andy understood the vision I had for my music. The quality and attention to detail given to both my projects were awesome. I completely trusted Andy's instincts; I felt comfortable and confident to give my best performance. The end product far exceeded anything I could have imagined." - Nancy Beaudette	"I fully enjoyed my recording experience at A.M.E. Studios. Andy has an amazing ear and an incredible gift of putting you at ease while getting the best out of you. I was surprised at the amount of growth that I gained as an artist during the recording process, and the finished product blew me away." - Keven Coghill
"Last year we had the opportunity to work and record our first album with Andrew Horrocks at AME studios. From the time we went in to meet Andy, to the night we were done mixing our last song, Andy really made us feel welcome and a part of his life. The 3-4 months that we were in the studio were great times to get the project done, and at the same time get to know another brother in Christ. Andy's heart is what impressed me the most. His willingness to help out new Christian bands with great in-studio rates (smile), and also his patience is what sold us on him and his studio. Throughout the time recording with Andy, he gave lot's of ideas to help us get the sounds we wanted, but at the same time, never forced them on us. At the end of our sessions, we were totally happy with the finished product. He did a great job capturing "Zacc's Tree" and what we are about. We look forward to doing another project with him in the near future." - Jamie Aplan, Guitarist/Producer (Thousand Foot Krutch)	"Working with Andy Horrocks is an incredible experience. Andy is a very understanding and creative producer who possesses a great ability to share in the artist's vision. Andy has been able to capture the vision for my songs and continues to astound me with his gifted ear. Andy is not only a talented musician and engineer, but he is a very humble and caring man. As a vocalist himself, Andy is a wonderful vocal coach and works hard at bringing the best out of a singer and capturing the emotion, the spirit, of the words. Whether working with young bands, seasoned songwriters, solo artists or large groups, Andy is able to bring out the best in people and their music. I always look forward to recording with Andy at AME. The jokes are silly, the sound is great and the final product is what I had always hoped for." - Matt Devine
"Artists in Canada would be extremely hard pressed to find a studio that provides the wealth of experience and insight that Andrew provides at such value. Having recorded both of our award winning CDs at AME, I am convinced that Andrew provides a unique blend of technical skill and musical competence. He relates so well with others on a personal and professional level, that one can not help but actively seek to associate themselves with him. He has exceeded our expectations and is a pleasure to work with." - Scott Banerman (Lost Coin)	"As a music columnist, I am always excited to see projects from AME Recording Studios. I know the music will be first rate and production will be flawless. As a member of Critical Mass, I will always appreciate Andrew Horrock's professional approach to both the recording process as well as artistic development, which allowed our album "Completely" to garner several music awards, including a Canadian Gospel Music Association Award for best Rock Album!" - David Wang (Critical Mass)
Nutshell Music is pleased to be associated with AME Recording Studios. Andrew Horrock's many experiences in the music business allow him mastery over a surprisingly large number of key details necessary ot the production of excellent music. Andy is a patient producer - he knows how to pull the best performance from an artist. His broad musical taste and keen sense for knowing when silence is the right component in a piece make him a rare combination of player, arranger, engineer and producer. AME is a well-appointed studio, with key supplier contacts that allow it ready access to a wide variety of outboard equipment. Studio session players are chosen for their skill and affordability...with an eye to the recording artist working to a tight budget. We highly recommend Andy Horrocks and AME Recording Studio. - Nutshell Music	"I have collaborated with Andy throughout my professional career, so I have been spoiled by the guarantee that anything he works on is going to turn out great. I have seen him take mediocre projects and make them wonderful and transcendent. To me, it all comes down to ears, self-discipline, and his desire to make every project its best. With small studios popping up everywhere, it can be difficult to find someone who not only has good gear, but knows more than a little bit about making it sound great, not to mention fantastic musical abilities as well. Andy has all of these gifts, and uses them to make world class recordings that stand up to anything in the industry, and that's money in the bank for any artist." - Ian Tanner, Songwriter/Producer (Former member of One Hundred Days)
My name is Adam Miner. I am a singer/songwriter from Sarnia Ontario. When I was 18 ,I was a mess when I recorded my first disc: Exit Door, with Andy. I was a mess in the sense that I was very new to the process of recording an album, although I had some very good musicians backing me up. But it was my experience with what Andy did as an producer and engineer and as a guiding hand through the recording that made the difference. I guarantee, that Andrew Horrocks' business is the most cost-effective option you have. With the current rates you get quality sounding recordings with the benefit of ample time to get quality performances. - Adam Miner	"It was a pleasure to work with such a talented engineer and producer. Andy has helped us to develop as a band and as musicians. His guidance from start to finish of our project was both insightful and very professional. His theory of "go big or go home" helps bands accomplish what they want their CD to sound like and not just to be satisfied with it! All in all, I and the rest of the guys would say that working with Andy and AME studios was our BEST recording experience!" - Jamie Nelson (Esoteric)
"Andy Horrocks is a master at partnering with artists to help them realize their musical vision. As a fellow musician he gets it, and as a producer/engineer he is extremely skilled at making it happen. And all that on a budget." -- Peter Goodyear (Kevin Coghill & Skylight Sessions)	"Andy is a swell guy to work with, as an engineer he gets great sounds and is proficient working with all his gear, as a producer he has great ideas from arrangements and melodies all the way to mix down and mastering. We have done two projects with him and can't wait to work with him again. All around Andy's a great guy who makes great records, in general he works best on a diet solely consisting of Dairy Queen Blizzards." - Gideon, Rich and Lincoln (Out of the Monetary)
