Monastery Studio

Best recording studio in the city -- hands down. Beautiful space, great location and Ric and team are wonderful to work with.

Had the pleasure of recording my debut album here this year and it went so well! A very relaxing environment that's conducive to great music making and creating. Ric is so easy going and nice and I felt comfortable throughout the entire process! Would definitely recommend!

I've recorded three albums here and it is always an amazing experience. Ric Hordinski is an incredible musician and writer and will deliver exactly what you are looking for. He is also really good at taking your ideas and expanding on them. Everything is always professional and on time. I highly recommend Monastery Studio!

This really is an incredible and unique space. Ric and his staff always go above and beyond. The gear selection is wide ranging. There are many options for food you can walk to when you need a short break, including Brew House. It is by far my favorite sounding room in Cincinnati and I look forward being back there one day!

One of my favorite spaces to work! Music is such a personal experience, and capturing it should also feel as such. This studio has an energy of zen shrouding it that makes anyone comfortable when walking through the doors, and the music to come out of here reflects that. Can’t recommend enough!

This is my favorite studio to work at, without question. Ric is a very friendly studio owner who is always flexible and understanding, and all of the engineers in the space are knowledgeable and professional. We have had nothing but great sessions here.

Grateful to have been able to bring my songs over the past few years to such a wonderful recording space— w/ stellar musicians, great-sounding mixes, and truly beautiful arrangements by Ric. Highly recommend.

I've done a lot of work here over the years. It's a fantastic room with great pianos, drum sets, and guitar amps. There is a wide collection of superb microphones and many fantastic preamps. Something for every situation.
This place is my first thought for recording any group!

Such a wonderful space to work and record in! The studio has the perfect welcoming and calm vibe, and Ric is incredibly knowledgeable and insightful throughout the entire recording process.

This is one of my favorite place in the world. This studio is mind blowing, Ric is amazing, the equipment is amazing, and it’s the most high-quality recording/ studio experience. Out of all the studio experiences I’ve had, the setup, calming ambience, professionalism, open layout, and warmth of monastery has brought out my very best performances. I would recommend the monastery to anyone in the industry.

Ric Hordinsky’s Monastery Studio is a remarkable place. From rock to classical, there’s no better space to record. The setting is magical and the sound Ric achieves is second to none.

Monastary Studio is one of Cincinnati’s greatest treasures for music lovers. Ric Hordinski is equal parts knowledgeable, talented, and kind! Wouldn’t hesitate to reach out. Can’t say enough good things about the studio!

Once you've recorded at the Monastery, there's no going back.

I've been a part of several projects here, and the results are heads-and-shoulders above any other studio I've worked in.

Expertise, gear, ear and vibe all come together to bring out your best. And leave you with a recording you'll be proud of forever.

Welcoming space, big live room that makes drums sound amazing. An untraditional studio space in the best way possible. A place that makes you want to play. Love recording here

I love having events here- it’s beautiful, unique, and and has an incredible vibe for creating and gathering.

This place is truly magical!✨ Ric and his team are amazing I would recommend them to anyone in search of a high quality studio.

Total gem, great sounding live room, wide selection of mics and outboard gear and lovely personnel!
