Westfall Recording Company - Farmingdale, New York

Half in The Bag

If there were more than 5 stars available to give, we would give them! We were looking for a studio to record some new music and Westfall came up through mutual connections. We couldn't be happier with our experience. Not only did the songs come out sounding incredible, but Anthony and Ray were such a pleasure to work with that it made the experience that much better. The band had such a great time while recording, and the guys were so helpful in bringing our songs and ideas to life. Highly recommend!

Westfall Recording Company is almost too good to be true. The product you will end up with is undoubtedly going to be of the highest standard of quality and the pricing is extremely reasonable. When you record with Anthony, you’re not just getting a guy who clicks the record button. You’re getting an audio engineer who genuinely cares about the end product of your music. He’s not afraid to make suggestions that he believes will improve your song, but he’s also not pushy if you’re firm in your songwriting. The turnaround time from when you record to receive mixes is faster than what you would expect. When you work with Westfall, everything is explained to you in person and on email before you begin so you never have to wonder how much you’re paying or what the next step is. You’ll end up with music you couldn’t even believe you were a part of because it sounds like the quality of recording only rich and famous bands could achieve due to record label funding. Another thing that I love and respect is that Anthony and Ray can often be found at the release shows of bands they recorded. It’s just nice to know they care about you and your band after the “business” side of the process is over, they still show up for you.

If you are a member of the Long Island music scene, you have likely heard the name "Westfall Studios", and for good reason. My band Xhale recorded 4 tracks with Anthony this year and the experience was nothing short of awesome. The studio has a great atmosphere and the knowledge and excitement displayed by Anthony during our session was very inspiring to us in the band. The mixes by Ray made us sound bigger than we ever have before and we can't wait to cut some more tracks at Westfall

Recorded here and was not disappointed. Pricing for the quality you receive is amazing, in the long run ended up being a cheaper alternative than other studios and my band got the sound we were looking for with professional sounding quality. Working with Anthony and Ray was a blast so it never felt like work which is how recording music should be. My band will be returning for our next recording session.

I genuinely look forward to bringing new music to work on with Anthony and Ray. They are solid, down to earth people that make you feel welcome while bringing creative ideas and awesome tones to your track. This year will be my 3rd and 4th album there, and most likely a 5th/6th the next year. Whether you’re local or out of state looking for an affordable, quality, and comfortable recording session, this is the go-to studio.

Westfall Recording Company perfectly defines Yin and Yang, maintaining the harmony of your universe. We worked with Westfall Recording Company in the summer of 2023 to produce our second studio album.

I spoke with Anthony Lopardo, and we set up a meeting with the band to discuss questions, concerns, ideas, scheduling, and outlooks. From the start, Anthony made all of us feel at ease; with any question or concern we had, Anthony solved it or assured us that it wouldn’t be a concern at all, and that was true. Anthony kept his word.

We encountered a problem during the middle of the recording that would have completely dissolved the whole process. Still, Anthony stood up and worked out the issue, giving us a ten thousand times better product than we expected.

Aside from professional recording and mixing and severe problem solving, Anthony also offers suggestions and produces the work as we recorded, working hard with each and every instrument to get the perfect sound out of it, once again surpassing our expectations tenfold.

We then worked with Ray Marte to mix the six-song EP. Ray offers selflessly a heavy layer of patience, professionalism, and experience with every track he works on, treating each track like it’s his own and everything is on the line.

In my heart, I knew how I wanted this EP to be, and Ray and Anthony working together showed me something I’d never thought possible.

I speak for my band ARC and myself with the valid words that Westfall Recording Company, Anthony, and Ray are quite possibly the best audio engineers, producers, and problem solvers that exist today so close to the NY area. I would suggest Westfall to anyone.

I wish I could give them more stars. I've worked with Anthony and Ray on multiple occasions and it's always been a great experience. They've helped bring my band's vision to life across multiple albums and have always made us feel at home. Besides their talent, they're also two of the nicest people you could meet. Their work ethic and work culture is top notch and I would suggest everyone looking for producers, engineers, mixers look no further than here! Excellent Choice Sir.

I have to say that my experience at Westfall Studios was the absolute best experience I have ever had recording in a professional studio. First, the atmosphere in the studio is amazing; calm, peaceful and completely conducive to creativity and accomplishment. And Anthony and Ray are consummate professionals and artists; both amazing musicians, and amazing producers. The talents they possess, and their very centered personalities make the project seem to flow effortlessly. And they are two of the nicest people in the world as well. The project I did there was a bit unusual; it was a cover song that none of us including myself were familiar with beforehand ( I had gotten an opportunity to do the song as a track on a tribute album for the Knack on indie label Zero Hour Records) and I had a fairly tight deadline to get it recorded, mixed and sent to the label. Everything went so smoothly, and we had so much fun. Anthony was especially great with adding amazing extra backing vocal parts on the fly! Also, when it came time for the mix, Ryan did an incredible job and with such patience and kindness. I would wholeheartedly recommend Westfall Studios for any recording project you are planning!
