I’ve seen first hand how well Marc’s skill, his perfect ear and his personality work with clients to bring out their best in the studio. I also know, as a rock radio DJ, how excellent the final product can be at Rock Garden...the songs get on the radio because they sound as good and often better than anything we get from major labels.

I am always wowed by Marc Golde and his Rock Garden Studio. He has created some amazing music for my advertising agency over the years.

Marc is very, very, very talented – always dependable. He’s easy going, but not a slacker.
He cares a great deal about the quality of his work and would never ever settle for cruddy doodly-poo. He creates big market sounds on small market budgets and is always ecstatic to do the work - any form of music – rock, rap, hip-hop, jazz, disco, folk, boogie-woogie, bubblegum, country, blue-eyed soul and tear-jerking ballads.

Marc doesn’t get hagged-out over tight deadlines. He’s zippy and efficient. He’s not some vacant–brained lunchsack either. He’s a musical genius but not arrogant about his knowledge and gift. He has plenty to boast about but never a crap-shoveling yakkety-yakking gasbag. He’s a great listener with a fantastic ear for sound.

I am thrilled to work with him on every project and always happy with the results.

I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on our radio ads – the music combined with a great message and incredible production – makes them so memorable. I’ve had different groups of folks tell me they actually sing along with our ads (Green Checking and Hot Rod Lending!) They love the cleverness of combining the message with the music. I highly recommend Marc. He helps us put the ‘different’ in differentiate – and makes our ads stand out!!

Rock Garden Studio is a hidden treasure in the Fox Valley. We have used them several times and it’s a matter of when (not if) we will use them again. Marc is a creative, gifted professional and the work he delivered greatly exceeded the expectations of our entire team and was done on time and on budget. Highly recommend Marc and Rock Garden Studio for all your recording needs. You won’t be disappointed.
