I was totally blown away with the attention that Matt gave our project.  We hired him to mix a record we tracked ourselves, and he took it to a place beyond what I expected the material we gave him to be capable of achieving.  Nicest dude ever and a true professional.  Totally made us feel like the stuff our tiny band made was important, worked within the scope of our prejudice, and delivered to us an output that made a bunch of tracks sound like songs.  Highly recommend.

This place is incredible. Matt is a master in audio production. His attention to detail, professionalism, knowledge, and passion for music make him unmatched to other studios in the area. Just a really down to earth and nice guy to work with who will push you to be your best in a constructive way. He takes the time to understand what makes you music great and brings out the best in every genre.

The setting itself is relaxed and creative in nature. Very clean, and well built to suite audio production. Nice big live room, vocal booth, and recording booth. All deliberately constructed to be as sonically sound as possible.

Matt has an amazing selection of new and vintage amplifiers and cabinets for guitar and bass to really dial in the sound you’re looking for. A large selection of snares and percussive instruments. Endless microphones. A great pedal selection, and even a baby grand for your pianist.

Overall our experience here was amazing. Professional quality audio, a very affordable price, and the knowledge and company of an awesome guy!

I highly recommend!

My band recently recorded here and we were thoroughly impressed. The gear selection he has at his disposal is amazing and suitable for any genre of music, all at an affordable rate. I highly recommend going through him for any recording you need to do!

I've been working with Matt for the better part of 2 years now, and have had nothing but positive experiences. Very Tight is hands down the best studio in Pittsburgh. He makes every instrument shine, including mine (drums). I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

This was our first time working with Matt. Our band, Negative 13, felt right at home with him as he enabled us to feel comfortable not only recording, but also talking to him. He was gracious with our questions and concerns and very assiduous with our music, even suggesting a few ideas that carried our recording to level that exceeded our expectations. We are looking forward to working with him again!

Matt Very is an engineer who has full mastery of the studio he designed and constructed himself. The gear in his studio is high quality, but the man behind the soundboard is really top notch.

Having worked with Matt in the past, I knew taking our new project to him for Mixing/Mastering would be a professional and objectively positive experience.

Matt has a keen ear to make an artist’s imagination reality for their sound. In conjunction with years of experience, Matt brings professional-grade equipment with a professional-grade attitude; understanding artists’ wants and needs no matter their style/genre.

The quality matched with professionalism and cooperation with artists makes Very Tight Recordings an obvious choice for Mix/Master services, as well as recording and other production. 5 stars, we highly recommend you consider Very Tight for your next project!
