Testimonials

Blair has a great facility that’s very organized and professional.  He’s a good guy and has good guys working for him. Zone is one of the nicest facilities around. If I have any questions about recording stuff or gear, I call him to see what he’s doing and what’s new.

Chris Hayes, Lead Guitarist for Huey Lewis & the News http://hueylewisandthenews.com/

I’ve been all over the country, and I’ve done voiceovers in every state I’ve visited,” says Fieri. “Without question, Zone Recording is one of the best—if not the best—that I’ve used. They keep the tracks organized and the signal clear. I didn’t realize that until I started having to do voiceovers in other states, and what should’ve taken one hour took two. When I come into Zone, the scripts are ready and a bottle of water is waiting for me; they’re really on point.”

Blair is one of a kind. Aside from being a great musician, he has one of the best recording studios in the Bay Area. He’s well connected, and knows his stuff. I highly recommend Blair.

Blair’s expertise has bailed me out more than once. His singular knowledge of all things music and engineering has made him my go-to person for these kinds of services.

Mark Burchill, Branch Manager at Advent Office Furniture http://www.officefurnitureworld.com/ 

I have known Blair for over 35 years. He is a consummate pro in all phases of the music and media including producer, radio personality, voice talent, script writer, bassist, studio owner and engineer and much more. You can count on great production and effective results when you work with Blair. He’s a one stop shop for everything from multimedia and CD recording sessions to full radio and TV advertisements.

Blair is very, very committed.  He has a perspective about recording and a professionalism about him that I enjoy. He was responsive to me and to what I wanted. He was able to add his own perspective and his vision about what I was there to do—to give it color beyond what I was able to do myself, given my lack of experience in it. Overall, he made a very real contribution to what came out of the process in each case.

Blair was a consummate professional who guided me with creative force and helped me bring my project to life.

Karen Quest, Audio Recording Client

Blair has been a mentor to me in the audio world. I can’t say enough positive things about Blair’s professionalism as well as his great sense of humor. He has shown me that being a recording engineer is much more than knowing how to use Pro Tools. His customer service, musical knowledge and critical listening skills are top notch. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional studio service. Also he has a great voice and can be heard on many well-known audio books, such as “The Secret”, or even Dr Phil’s most recent audio book.

Mathew Trogner, Engineer

Blair is the one person in his field to whom I return again and again for the quality of his work and his character. He is a consistently high performer and a first-rate human being. You will not find better value, skills, and results at any price

Jesse Boggs, Audiobook Producer

Blair produced a music recording for my friend and me that came out better than we expected, due to Blair’s technical skill with his state-of-the-art equipment and advice from his own artistic experience. Blair is well known in this region as an announcer and producer of radio commercials and public service announcements. I intend to work with him again and have previously included him in grant proposals seeking funds for this purpose. I most highly recommend that you work with Blair at Zone Recording for your professional audio recording needs. I can’t wait to get back into the studio to work with him again!

Gig Hitao, Owner Data Trends Research http://www.datatrendsresearch.com/ 

It’s hard to find anyone as talented as Blair Hardman. He nourished his remarkable natural abilities and enhanced them by developing strong skills, making him outstanding in a variety of fields. He is accomplished as a musician, composer, band leader, band member, recording studio engineer, talk show host, MC, business owner, teacher, comedian, writer and community leader. Everyone who has ever worked with him raves about him. And for good reason. His profound creativity is only matched by his deep sense of humanity. I could not recommend him more highly.
