Romney has made the top 20 of the Pantene Pro V / Warner Records contest for female artists, showcasing her talent in music production. She has also reached the top 10 of the Toronto Blues Society talent search, both achievements stemming from the analog recording she completed at Renaissance Sound Studios!

Thanks for everything. Our experience at Renaissance Sound was first class, and your attention was as professional as any service I've received in any A Class recording studio. The analog recording process you provide truly enhances music production, and I will certainly spread the word to help your studio business achieve the success that it/you deserve!

Renaissance Sound has provided me with the incredible opportunity to complete my debut jazz album. It is one of the most organized recording studios I have ever worked in, and everything is very neat. The quality of equipment for music production is extraordinary and absolutely worth it for the setup he has. The best part is the wide variety of instruments available, allowing you to record anything you need to make your project sound great. The sound quality is extraordinary and professional, making this one of the best recording projects I've accomplished in just 3 hours. Now that's amazing!

I had the pleasure of embarking on an album project at Renaissance studios in Toronto recently. The recording studio was both well equipped and comfortable, offering very reasonable hourly rates. Laurence Roscoe, the engineer and proprietor of the studio, certainly knows his way around an impressive array of the latest studio gear, including options for analog recording. Laurence is also a very talented musician/songwriter who constantly provides great input and support, and is not averse to experimenting with new ideas in music production. He is one of the engineers that truly collaborates with the artist. My entire experience at Renaissance was handled both professionally and personably - to the extent I saw it appropriate to deem Laurence as a co-producer of my project. If asked if I would ever record at Renaissance Sound again, I would say, 'in an instant.' Thank you, Laurence!

I couldn't ask for a more professional and laid-back environment at Renaissance. The recording studio features top-notch analog recording facilities. As a singer-songwriter, it was crucial for me to feel free and in charge throughout the entire music production process, and Laurence supported that every step of the way. He also helped produce my record, making the overwhelming experience of recording as simple as possible. In the end, I emerged with a better product than I had ever envisioned in the first place!

Thank you once again for collaborating with us on our music production project. Everyone enjoyed the sessions, and it was an incredibly relaxed atmosphere in the recording studio. It was because of that environment that we were able to create such a great product using analog recording techniques!

Thanks again for everything you've done for me and this project. I truly appreciate you playing on those tracks for me, especially in the context of analog recording. I was worried I might be limited to just those 2 songs. You have a fantastic ear for music production, and I wanted to commend you on that! The difference between you and your competitors is that you genuinely care about the end result and customer satisfaction, which is a hard thing to find in the recording studio business. Keep on rockin!!!
