TESTIMONIES From Actual Clients
I am always hearing nice things said about Hilltop, so I thought I would post some comments.
"Recording at Hilltop is like recording in a big comfortable home with a welcoming environment and all of the latest technology. They have all the bells and whistles; great rooms with excellent acoustic treatment and isolation, a huge microphone collection, and a great staff. What else could you possibly need for a great recording?"
Hugh Moore

"We are looking forward to working with you again in the near future. The Studio musicians were the best of the best. We were very pleased with the overall sound. Hilltop Studios is a top of the line studio in Nashville, TN We would recommend Hilltop Studios to anyone who wants a very professional sound."
Thanks,
Gary for The Amundruds

"Being a foreigner one is always a bit worried and nervous. John and his crew made me feel very welcome and at ease. I took the ProTools files with me back home and it was a breeze to download them to my computer and do the remix. I would love to come back for more" Best regards Finn
"Great sound and service at Hilltop! Studio clean and comfortable. Price quoted at booking is the same when its time to settle up! Thats class! Thanks John &
Steve!"

"All the way from Alaska, we searched for a top quality recording studio and found it near Nashville at Hilltop. It was well worth the travel both times recording there, and we are planning on going again. When the topic of recording comes up, we recommend Hilltop to all the musicians we run into. When you find perfection, why try anyone else."
The Allen Sisters
"I used Hilltop studios for my first independent recording and I sale it alongside my other albums,as it is still a favorite among my fans..I cant say enough about this fine recording facility, I brought my father back to record his first long awaited album. Thanks Hilltop for making my musical dreams a reality..."

"I have been recording and producing projects at Hilltop for over 15 years. The drums always sound great, both control room’s sound great when mixing. John is a great person to work with and maintains a great facility. There is no better bang for the buck in Nashville."
Jed Seneca | Engineer-Producer
Between the state-of-the-art facilities, bucolic setting, and decades of history, Hilltop is truly a Nashville landmark, and fully deserving of its reputation as one of the best studios in Nashville. But the real draw for me was John Nicholson. Hes a consummate producer and engineer, and an artists best friend in the studio. He knows how to get the best from you while maintaining a positive and laid-back atmosphere. John Nicholson and Hilltop Studios should be on every artists short-list when theyre planning a new record."
