Mystic Valley Studio, Alex Garcia-Rivera

Mystic Valley Studio is a boutique analog recording studio located just north of Boston, in an unassuming house in Medford, Massachusetts. Owned and operated by producer and engineer Alex Garcia-Rivera, the studio features purpose-built, sound-treated rooms and a focus on great sounding gear.
