"Deciding to work with Van, and record at The Shop Studio is one of the best decisions I could've made for our band. His professionalism and years of experience in sound engineering are evident throughout the recording process, and when that expertise is coupled with his state of the art studio, it isn't hard to find the recipe for success when recording your project."

"I first worked with Van when I began recording for Horizon Records and later I was moved to the Mountain Home division of the Crossroads Music Group. I am a very hands on person in the studio and quickly found that Van was there for the artist and whatever they needed or wanted so far as their recording was concerned . All of the recordings that I did at the Crossroads studio was with Van at the board because of the confidence I had in his abilities as an engineer and master mixer. I assure you that when you go to the recording studio with Van at the helm, just busy yourself with presenting the music and Van will do the rest !! He’s one of the best of the best!”

"As an artist that's recorded in multiple studios over the years, I've never been more pleased with my experience at The Shop Studio. Van and his players made my sessions not only worth every penny, but fun and enjoyable. And that's what music is all about. I highly recommend The Shop Studio to any and everyone with confidence."

“I’ve known and worked with Van Atkins for over twenty years now and each and every time has been a true pleasure! We’ve worked together on both my own solo projects as well as group recordings with other artists. I can tell you first hand, there is not a better sound engineer anywhere. Not only is he patient and knowledgable, he brings great ideas to the table and is willing to step outside the box and try out new ideas to get exactly what you’re looking for in a recording or mix. He makes the whole process fun and comfortable for everyone involved, and that really makes me look forward to each and every time we have the opportunity to work together.
In short, you cannot find better and I recommend Van to anyone who is looking to make a quality recording.”
