Little Pioneer Cider House Studios

Craig has been HEAVILY instrumental in the development of my music career. I first came to him with terribly written songs that didn’t really make sense but he was able to take my ideas and make them into something of quality. He is all about taking your ideas and ensuring that the sound that comes out is what you intended for in your head. When recording, it isn’t about him and what he wants and makes it all about you. I learned how to construct songs and what to put into my songs through him. He’s also very supportive and attends your shows… Studio wise, it is very clean, very professional. Always offers all types of tea or sweets. which is.sweet! He’s constantly upgrading his system and have great quality instruments/​programs/​etc. to make sure the song comes out great… Only downside to his studio is that it is off the G train, but it’s worth the trip and also worth stopping by Tony’s Pizza Spot and getting a sausage hero so his cat can beg you for some.

Craig has gone above and beyond for every project we’ve worked on together. He provides an incredible, almost unbelievable value for his rates (especially for NYC!). He is a professional that operates a TOP TIER studio out of love for making music and helping others see their musical dreams come to life.
The studio is clean, friendly — Craig is hospitable, considerate, and a pleasure to work with. Little Pioneer Cider House Studios is one of the rare places where your intention, your vision, are respected and given full attention.
I cannot understate the impact he had on my EP «The Cold Press» and will continue to have with future projects.
He does it all — he will produce from scratch, mix and master a completed project, lend creative consultation — a true producer, engineer, and friend.

Craig is a true professional and will work with you to ensure your music is competitive in today’s market. The studio is clean, comfortable and the recordings are always high quality! I’ve been recording here for years and have never been dissatisfied… Overall excellent place to record!

Craig and I found each other two years ago and it had to be one of those star aligning moments. At the time I was looking to bring my songs to life having just the lyrics and melodies just trapped in my head.
Craig totally got what I wanted to do musically and brought his A game to it. His growing expertise and artistry spans all genres. Working together he truly gave life to the words and instruments I heard for so long that have been bursting inside of me to get out.
If you are looking to record any type of musical and non-​musical project, Little Pioneer Cider House Studios is the place that your artistry can flourish. He is well informed and open to anyone who truly wants to create a great project.
I recommend him to everyone I know that is looking to create any musical and no musical project. They/​You will not be disappointed in the pricing, easy to get to location, the best equipment that captures the great quality of the work created!
There is no better studio or producer other than Craig and Little Pioneer Cider House Studios! I’m continuing to work with him as you read this and will continue to do so!

I began working with Craig a few years ago and from the start it has always been a perfect fit. I’ve worked in other recording studios; yet I have always found the best results working along side with Craig. I get to work one on one on a more personal level when I’m working with Craig and I also have found Craig to be the most professional; which can be very hard to find these days. Craig has the best equipment & he really knows his gear; which is a plus. He can assist with the writing or playing… I really have no regrets about anything I’ve recorded there. In NYC where a good studio is hard to find I would recommend Little Pioneer Cider House Studios to any musician looking for a place to record. The prices are great. The equipment is top notch; I would say that Craig runs the best recording studio in NYC.

I worked with Craig on mixing and mastering my band Japan Soul’s full-​length album and I cannot say enough good things about him and what he does. Aside from being able to play nearly any instrument to add to a track, he is extremely patient with the people he works with and understands what they want and makes them feel comfortable, which is extremely important to any musician working with a producer. No matter how skilled or unskilled you are as a musician or how well or not you can articulate what you are looking for a song to do, Craig is really good at knowing what you want and working with you to achieve it in his studio to put out the best possible music you can. Plus he has worked with such a wide variety of artists, he’s really good at knowing what works and what doesn’t in any genre. I definitely plan to hire him out to work on more material and his hourly pricing makes him super affordable for any musician looking to put out some kick ass music.
