The Studio & Shop
The Studio
HiFi-by-TY is a full-scale studio designed for professional recording, editing, mixing, and mastering — with a connected shop for onsite repairs and maintenance. The centerpiece of the control room is a Yamaha 02R96 digital console paired with a PreSonus Studio192 interface, creating a powerful hybrid system capable of capturing up to 56 tracks simultaneously. Every session benefits from 16-channel personal monitor mixers, giving each performer complete control over their own headphone mix.
Monitoring is handled through a selection of trusted referencing systems — including Neumann, Dynaco, KRK, REFTONE, BOSE, JBL (& JLAB epic lab), SONY, and Sennheiser — ensuring accurate translation across listening environments. All sessions are recorded to multiple Samsung T7 2TB SSDs through a Mac Studio M2 equipped with 96 GB of RAM and a 2 TB internal SSD. Pro Tools is operated across dual 27" displays for a detailed, efficient workflow, with 3 large monitors in the live room.
The studio includes two large professionally engineered isolation booths — 10' x 10' and 4' x 4' — both designed by Acoustic Systems, ideal for vocals, instruments/amplifiers, re-amping, Foley, ADR, and voiceover work. A full-piece "house" acoustic drum kit is always set up and mic'd in the live room, along with electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, and amplifiers available for reasonable rent while recording.
Ty also offers high-quality on-location recording for bands and small groups. The mobile setup features over 26 channels of premium interfacing, supporting simultaneous recording at 96 kHz on 16 channels and up to 192 kHz on 8 channels, with a 32 GB MacBook Pro i9 powering the portable rig.

Customer Thoughts
★★★★★"I was so happy working with Tyler. My band "Mexico Road" just cut our latest album with him and we are thrilled. We will be going back for sure. In fact, I plan to cut my next solo album with him."
— Van W.
★★★★★"Recently purchased a used Martin acoustic and took it to Tyler for some routine maintenance. He went above & beyond, even fixed a small crack I would've never noticed. Sounds way better and super clean! Prices and very fair and highly recommended!"
— Brian H.
★★★★★"Ty is the best at what he does. I was nervous to start recording but he made sure I was comfortable, explained everything, and the end result is proof of his knowledge, expertise, and experience. He is professional, kind, and very talented. I will absolutely be back."
— Kathlyn H.
★★★★★"Tyler did a great job re-stringing and adjusting my much-neglected guitar. It's back to like-new condition and sounds better than ever! Tyler is very professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. I highly recommend!"
— Georgia J.
★★★★★"Ty's top-notch education in Pro Tools has beed a great advantage in realizing my musical visions. But what I value way more is something that can't be learned in the classroom: his dogged determination to find the right approach to fulfilling what you are describing. I'm amazed at how many times he has exceeded my expectations. We are truly blessed to have such a studio right here in the Danville area."
— Scott F.
★★★★★"Tyler is a great guy and very passionate about what he does. His work is thorough, timely, and reasonably priced. As an added bonus, he's also a lot of fun to be around. I can't wait to go back!"
— Ian D.
★★★★★"Tyler has been a "God Send" to my home studio. Thank you so much for your expertise and patience Tyler. You're the best!"
— Rick M.
★★★★★"Tyler was an incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and friendly individual. I had some guitar repair and restoration done here and could not be more pleased with the results! The prices here are fair and the service was done quicker than expected. Highly recommend!"
— Erick K.
★★★★★"I brought my guitar into Ty for a setup and he did a fantastic job! His attention to detail is bar none. Not only did he get it playing better than ever before but the turnaround was crazy fast. I dropped it off on a Saturday and he had it ready for pickup two business days later on Tuesday. When I came to pick it up he had the guitar polished up and looking immaculate.
When I dropped my guitar off to Ty, he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable; we actually ended up chatting for over an hour about gear and our musical tastes. As it was my first time there, he showed me around the studio, which is really well thought out in its layout and functionality. Ty played some of the music he had recorded from musicians in the area; I was really impressed with the quality and dynamics of the production/mixing.
If you are looking for an instrument setup or to lay down some tracks, then I'd highly recommend you give HiFi by Ty a try."
— Jeremy V.
★★★★★"Found out about Tyler from Scott at Schoolhouse. Glad I did. Not only is he an incredibly nice guy, he does a killer guitar setup. Awesome shop as well."

— Adam Z.
★★★★★"Took my telecaster to Ty for some much-needed tuneups. He adjusted it so it's like new again and so much more fun to play. The studio is an awesome resource especially now that Schoolhouse Music is gone. Definitely recommend paying them a visit for any guitar or music needs!"
— David M.
★★★★★"I've had an old 1979 Sigma guitar since I graduated high school in 1979 that was given to me as a graduation gift. As the years went by I upgraded to better guitars and put my old Sigma in a closet because it was difficult to play. My Sigma is not a valuable guitar and only holds sentimental value in my heart.
A few weeks ago I decided to try to get my old guitar to play easier. I was referred to Tyler Eric by an acquaintance at a local music store. Tyler was able to get my old Sigma playing better than when it was new, and for a very reasonable price! Tyler did a fantastic job, and any work I need done in the future will be done at his shop.
Thank you Tyler!"
— Robert Sweeney
