Testimonials for Hideout Studios
"I LOVE Hideout Studios! It's an exquisitely tricked out South Austin tree-house with a techno-geek inventory of music instruments and recording toys. Mark and Michael are the ultimate; treating you to the best in a luxurious sanctuary where the magic of music thrives. Even the bathroom sink has style.
Truly an alchemist and a rare gem of a person, Michael Hynes has the uber-sensitivity found in the finest modern musician artists. As a producer and engineer he manages both the project and the people involved with the utmost integrity and grace. He supports you throughout the recording process. He is fastidious about capturing and treating sounds properly so the music hits you right in the heart."
Danya River

"Hideout Studios is, quite simply, my favorite place to work. It has, so many times in so many ways, proven itself magically conducive to the kind of collaboration that all great musicians know is at the heart and soul of a gem recording. It is beautiful, simple, versatile, and a few steps from Barton Springs, which is good whether you need a bath or not."
Michael Shay

"Stop stargazing and get working where fine tuned craftsmanship and talent mingle within the walls of this amazingly beautiful studio. Mike and Mark are the dynamic duo of recording and production. If you want to waste your time and money on one of many mediocre studios then Hideout Studios is NOT for you. What you will get at Hideout is a kick-ass studio with two guys who will care more for you and your project than your own mother."
Aaron Calhoun, Insects Of The Underground

"Recording at the Hideout felt like recording in a tree house - only a really nice tree house with good lighting and a leather couch. After a full day I'd want to stick around late and listen to tracks. Michael's production expanded my music; his vision - combined with the fabulous musicians he brought in - supported the authenticity of the songs and lifted them to another level."
