It's because of people like you my dream has come true. You're great! Besides being being great at the technical side of your business ... you get involved in the project as if it were yours. And that means a lot.

Beautiful room, well-appointed with details only an experienced musician/technician could bring. Great music producer sensibilities and song sense. George was a big help in guiding me through my vocal tracking. Appreciate his passion for the craft, his love for music, and his attention to detail. Blessings! bobby jasso Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:31:46 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-50 Parrot tracks restored my faith in humanity. George helped me achieve exactly the sound I was looking for. His experience and know-how is vast and extremely useful. On a side note, he's great at repairing guitars too. I look forward to bringing my next project in to him. D.B. Rouse Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:29:42 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-49 This is how it works. Record a CD, Distribute the CD, Collect Royalties. It's that simple. Thanks George our Adios, Goodbye hasn't even been released and we're on rotation in two radio stations. Wow, the magic you have brought to Los Texas Wranglers it was our Texas Treasures Cd that you recorded got us "Best Country/Bluegrass Band" at the Austin Music Awards. Just to be listed with Willie Nelson, Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel and other greats makes a small band like us believe in ourself. Thanks to people like you, Ryan Rader, Jerry Tubbs, Nancy Coplin and Margret Moser that keeps our spirits high and our desire to become better in our art. Parrot Tracks Studios is our lucky charm hope to continue making more music there. Siempre Amigos Julian L.

George gets the "sweetest" pedal steel sound in Austin......absolutely. Danny Hawk Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:51:40 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-47 I brought a demo cd that I made to George and he polished it for me, making it much, much better than it was. He's a real pro, very easy to work with, and knows his craft. He also rebuilt a 1967 Martin D-18 for me and it is now one sweet baby! I really appreciate his approach and attention to detail. In addition he taught me a lot during the process of mastering my cd. He's a great teacher. David Kendall Mon, 06 Jun 2011 09:44:50 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-46 George co-produced 'The DYNAMIC SOUNDS of The Soulphonics' and, not only did he get the sound of the band, he made it better! The first review of the album said "With clean production yet authoritative attack, The Soulphonics are “dynamic” indeed!" (Jack Rabid of The Big Takeover) George had no problem accommodating our desire to record on genuine analog tape and this meant a lot to us. He also listened to our crazy ideas and helped us achieve the sound that we wanted. We had a great time in the studio and look forward to recording a second album with George sometime in the future!

It never ceases to amaze me how great his sessions are. Thanks. T. Hale Bassist MCA recording artist George Strait Terry Hale Fri, 15 Apr 2011 14:32:26 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-44 George .. thank you so much for one of the best studio experiences I've ever had. And what makes it even better is that you've produced one of the cleanest, tighest and best balanced tracks I've ever heard. Trust that I'll be coming back to you when the new CD is ready to be recorded!!! You're the best!!!!

George Coyne has worked on four of my projects now, and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. George's musical expertise, tremendous engineering skills and consistent willingness to help--all these qualities make every step of the creative process a delight! Dr. Louie Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:11:44 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-42 Will the musical wonders never cease!? George's masterful way with the buttons and knobs, and some very inexperienced musicians, is in the process of producing a GEM of a collection of Campfire Tunes! This is the Happy Horse Campfire Band's FIRST excursion into the world of recording, and we don't know how it could get any better than George and ParrotTracks. When we're there, we never wanna leave; when we're not there, we can't wait to return. We listen to what he does with what we do, and this magical HAPPINESS just swells up inside each and every one of our grateful little hearts. Feels like HOME too, only better, cuz the Wizard is Wise and knows what he's doing!! THANKYOU, George! Hollis Wayne Sun, 13 Feb 2011 14:18:20 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-39 Parrot Tracks must be the best equipped studio this side of Nashville.... But the REAL power to make your music fly sits in the chair in front of the console. So much experience in all facets of the music business, the unique intelligence to synthesize it, and a heart for the sound. George Coyne is truly a Maestro! James Louis Reeves Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:48:11 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-38 George developed the most fantastic acoustic guitar sound for me that I've ever had the pleasure to hear. I don't know how it could get any better. Al Billings Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:18:03 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-36 Parrot Tracks Studio –I Absolutely Love it! It has the feeling of home with a high level of professionalism. It was such a Godsend in making it possible to bring to life my angelic meditations right here in Austin. Producer, George Coyne is a joy to work with and his impeccable service, expertise and mastery of music contributes to creating high quality products. I highly recommend Parrot Tracks Studio and look forward to working with George in recording all of my other angelic endeavors! With Gratitude and Angel Blessings, Bonnie Lewis Bonnie Lewis Sun, 20 Jun 2010 19:51:21 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-34 I've got a good one. I went into Parrot Tracks to help finish our dearly departed friend's record. One of my attempted contributions was playing banjo. My banjo is a good one but suffered from my lack of knowing how to properly maintain it. We ran a couple takes and George said, "Can I see that banjo for a few minutes?" He took it into his shop, did what he does, and it's been a different instrument ever since. I'm not sure if he used wrenches or just talked to it, but it's not been the same since. Parrot tracks is a "one stop shop". George is a great engineer, musician,instrument whisperer and dude all in one. Hope I get to work there again soon! Thanks George, for getting the best out of me for Larry! Jon Napier Sat, 29 May 2010 02:54:54 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-33 A truly wonderful studio with a master at the helm! George had no problem converting my ancient cassette tapes to digital. I'm looking forward to many more sessions.

The only other place we record is at home and that's the way you feel at George's studio.He knows how to get the best out of you.Thanks for all your help on all of our CD's. You are the best!

You know you're gonna get what you came after. Billy Eli Sun, 07 Feb 2010 12:25:58 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-29 Best studio in Austin hands down! George understands how a real recording session should go! He's also super helpful with all other kinds of stuff that comes up during the recording process! He's got every detail covered! I will never record anywhere else again! Jeremiah Ingram Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:52:32 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-28 We just had our first weekend in George's studio and I couldn't be more pleased! I've recorded at several studios and with several reputable people and by far there is no competition here! GEORGE IS THE BEST! He's thoughtful, knowledgeable and extremely professional! I really don't wanna record anywhere else, just at Parrot Tracks! I have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS!!!!! Looking forward to more time with George! -AmandaSkeleton amanda ingram Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:01:31 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-27 I’m going to be completely honest with ya. I’ve never mastered my records anywhere else, only with George at Parrot Tracks. I put out ten records before I mastered my first, “Whole ‘Nother Life.” It was the first one that I was proud enough of. I researched and chose George because he had the most reasonable rates in Austin, including that first record I have now mastered 7 records with George, and on December 2, 2009 will master “Leap,” my 18th overall. woode wood Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:02:40 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-26 I recently completed a cd which George recorded, engineered, and mastered at his beautiful Parrot Tracks Studio. The entire experience was first rate and I am very proud of the finished product, which has evoked so much praise and appreciation from a wide assortment of listeners. I am Looking forward to beginning my next project with George. I totally recommend him. Seth Montgomery Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:25:39 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-25 George is not only a top-notch musician and recording / engineer / mastering guy but he is a great person and a lot of FUN to work with. And he's become a real friend too over the 3 or 4 years I've been working with him. Could a studio get any better? Probably not. How'd we get so lucky?? Jannie Funster Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:29:42 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-24 George, You have created a beautiful place to record what's in your heart and soul. Very professional,with quality and precision needed to capture the best sound. Keep up the excellent work,....and be glad that you don't have to feed all of your parrots. OJLIII OJ LaierIII Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:41:20 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-23 I really like this studio. George has been guiding my recordings with tact and focus. Helping me be my best. Sayers Milton Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:01:49 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-22 George is a Gem...His studio is the nicest one I have seen in Austin....He is a master engineer and as a musician knows what he wants to hear in most sessions. I have done many sessions there and I highly recommend Parrot Tracks studio for a fine recording...also you can cool off in the swimming pool if you are recording in August. George has been my friend for many years and I always enjoy working with him. Many Guppies George! Ernie Ernie Durawa Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:29:45 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-21 Before working with Alicia Gill and Michael Davis at Parrot Tracks, Alicia raved about George, and the relaxed, special way he has of bringing out the best in individual artists' music. I happened to post a link to Parrot Tracks using my Facebook account, and the number of comments I received from many local musicians was astounding. Seems everyone loves Parrot Tracks for it's state of the art equipment and atmosphere, yet what they wrote about most is how wonderful GEORGE and his professional expertise is. After the session I spent with George, I cannot agree with them MORE! Thank you George, look forward to years of knowing you and Parrot Tracks. Renita PlayFlute4U Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:01:03 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-20 Parrot Tracks is a beautiful studio in a comfortable setting with everything you need for a quality recording experience. Best of all, it has George Coyne! Not only is George the consummate professional for your projects, but he’s a genius at unlocking talent you didn’t even know existed within you, and an extremely talented musician with a wonderful personality. George, thank you so very much for performing on our CD! It’s always such a joy to hear you play, but to hear you on our project is such an honor, and you really make our tunes sound great! Now “Hanalei Bay” transports us immediately where we want to be...Kauai. Thanks again for playing, and all your hard work, patience, and most of all your teaching. We really have learned so much from you and continue to still – and we will get finished! You're the best! Mahalo Nui Loa Alicia Gill Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:26:11 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-19 I've recorded at all the different locations of Parrot Tracks and this is the best! George cares about the sound and knows how to get it. He also did a great job of digital restoration of some old tapes of former bands, The Rattlecats and The Rivals. If not for him, that music would have been lost. My current band, The Soulphonics, will be recording with George in the near future. Glen Worley Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:55:58 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-18 The first time I stepped into George's studio I was at home. George has brought out the best in me and my music. With his expertise and Don Tellum's fantastic guitar work, along with all the wonderful musicians George has turned me onto, my project evolved from a few melodies with words into full blown professional recordings. I would never think of recording anywhere else. George is the best! Rachel Bowery Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:03:20 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-17 I told George not long ago that he not only has a great ear for whatever music was coming at him (most, anyway) but more important he is a great teacher. Not to mention the patience of Job. George also has a great talent in getting out of a musician those little phrases locked up in those hidden spaces of the mind. The studio is a delight. Great gear, great ambience, great sound, and George. Once I got over first day jitters and kind of had an idea of how George works, Parrot Tracks felt like a second home. And George, I am starting mental planning for the next one and with what I have learned, it will go more smoothly. George, sorry I couldn't "keep it simple." Michael Davis Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:27:50 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-16 From the first moment I walked into the beautifully cedar-paneled, well-equipped Parrot Tracks studio and met George Coyne, I knew I'd found a jewel in the Austin recording community. That was more than ten years and dozens of sessions ago. Great studio...great producer and engineer...remarkable guitarist...good friend. Thanks George! Jim Stricklan Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:51:56 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-15 The engineer running a studio is what makes that studio what it is, and with Parrot Tracks Studio, George Coyne is the Man! He has made it into the most down-home, country-comfortable environment, while retaining the professional sophistication and equipment it takes to get great recordings. All this translates into a relaxed and inspired session every time. All the musicians I have ever worked with in his studio agree: It's the best studio we have ever recorded in. Leti De La Vega & TyeDye John Williamson Leti De La Vega Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:48:30 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-14 I love Parrot Tracks! Such a cool studio. And always a pleasure to work with my buddy George, who anticipates my needs and makes me feel right at home. As a songwriter, over the years I've recorded numerous demos, a complete CD, and even spoken word tracks there. I've also used his audio restoration service to reclaim and enhance recordings made on cassette and reel-to-reel tape. PS: He can also fix your guitar . . . Joe Blanda Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:44:20 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-13 George is a true professional and is so easy and fun to work with! Parrot Tracks is one of the best studios I've ever been in. George really knows music and will do whatever it takes to get your music sounding great! Christina Bell Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:53:03 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-11 Just finished a couple sessions at Parrot Tracks with award winning Los Texas Wranglers. I have worked with George with a slew of different artists on several projects. As always, George did an outstanding job. Los Texas Wranglers said this was the best studio they had ever worked in. It is my favorite studio to record in. I know everything will be done to the highest standards. I look forward to doing many more projects at Parrot Tracks. Ryan Rader Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:20:46 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-10 George is a total pro.... musician and engineer, great ears and knows how to make things sound amazing. Every time I've worked here, he has the material ready way in advance so everybody involved in the session is 100% prepared, no time wasted. Great vibe, no pressure, Parrot Tracks rocks. Kevin Hall Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:59:30 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-9 We had a great time working with George. His expertise in getting all of our instruments to sound right in a live band setting was the key to our successful recording. I really like it that George is a good guitar player/tech as well and understands what it is to be be a musician because he is one too not just an engineer. George's experience with so many projects makes a difference in his role as producer while he is recording. His sense of humor is great too. Thanks, Catch a Dream Band Doug Marsh Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:52:26 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-8 Been working with George since 1980, he is a brilliant musician and great friend. His studio is great as well, excellent equipment, very nice amenities, lovely atmosphere out in the country (but easy to get to), etc. More than that, George has wonderful "ears" and a feel for music of all kinds. He is a superb, highly skilled technician but added to that he has heart and soul. I recommend him and Parrot Tracks without reservation!!! Rock on Mandy Mercier Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:37:28 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-7 George interprets the feel of the song with the sensitivity only an artist and fellow musician understands. He brainstorms with the writer suggesting innovative ideas that enhance the texture and mood of the song. The best producer I've ever worked with, he takes care of the nuts and bolts of my songs. Melissa Miller Sat, 18 Jul 2009 09:30:33 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-5 A great place to work George knows how to bring out the best in a song and helps you develop your ideas. Don Tellum Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:31:22 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-4 Recording at Parrot Tracks was a great experience. George really knows music and he knew instinctively how to identify and capture the sound that was right for my songs. And the environment he provides helps keep the creative juices flowing, allowing for those magic moments to arise during a session. I think of it like a boutique studio. It has a great intimate atmosphere, but there's plenty of room for a whole band to spread out and not feel cramped. Overall: Great vibe; very professional. Ric Fox Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:26:43 +0100 http://www.parrottracksstudio.com/client-comments.html#comment-3 this guy (george) goes out of is way to make your music the way you want. moses smith Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:44:01 +0100
