This is our second time working with Tapwater Productions and once again the service and the deliverables have been OUTSTANDING! Working with Dilan is an absolute pleasure. The quality of his work, his customer service skills, attention to detail and follow-thru are all incredible. We're looking forward to working with him again on our upcoming projects in the near future!

This was our first time using Soundbetter and thus our first time working with Tapwater and the experience has been absolutely AMAZING! First and foremost, Dilan is incredibly responsive so A+ for the customer service. But in addition, the quality of Tapwater's work is absolutely outstanding. We had no idea what to expect and the outcome was just incredible. We're super excited to work with him again within the next month! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

No B.S. Dilan provides excellent insight and technique. One of the best in the D. VERY Reliable, and true to his word. Top notch mixing and production.

Dilan Wade (Technologist) has created the perfect environment to capture sound in the Detroit area at Tapwater Productions. His univasive approach along with his expertise, and excellent equipment have made Tapwater Productions my only recording studio need. Your sound will be crispy and thanks to his experience, it'll be finished quickly as well.

The environment Dilan sets up is the perfect blend of professional and chill to me. Super easy to work with and a talented engineer. Great price, great space, and great work ethic. Go ahead and hit him up lol

Our band, Pineapple Hill's experience at Tapwater was incredible. Dilan recorded, mixed, and mastered our very first album, and we could not be more pleased. You will get the most out of every second spent in the studio, and the price is far below the highest quality of service provided. We recorded live and could not be happier with the results.

I've been recording at Tapwater productions for 3 years now and I refuse to use another studio. It has everything you need for digital and analog recording. The studio works well with bands, rappers, a group, you name it. As well as great mastering and mixing services.

I worked with Tapwater Productions for my debut mixtape “Black Sheep”. Dilan always had my material mixed on time, no delays, no excuses and is alwys glad to make alterations if needed. Tapwater Productions is my go-to company for mixing!
