 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome! Have worked with Regan both with my own projects/bands, as well as bringing music students along to record their original songs, as I am also a teacher. He has always been super professional, easy to work with, massively knowledgeable and creative in his contribution to my projects. Regan contributes great ideas to any project, and has always been willing to step in and play instruments if needed. The most recent time I worked with him, he went well and truly above and beyond to find the perfect mix for the young band we were working with. Would recommend Regan and The Porch to anyone wanting to book in some studio time and bring their project to life. Always very reasonably priced too!
