Conrad from the Blue Room Music Studio has a talented set of ears and the skills and experience necessary to translate what he hears into reality. I was extremely impressed with the attention that he gave to the details of our mixes. He did an exceptional job in listening to what I, as a producer, wanted out of the mastering… Read More

I’m extremely pleased at the level of professionalism; they are my one stop shop to getting my mixes turned into radio quality material. The turn around was fast but the quality reflected hard, knowledgeable and… Read More

Actress from ABC′s Grey′s AnatomyHad a blast tonight looping at Blue Room Productions – a jewel right here in the D.C. area. Thank you to my incredibly professional sound engineer, Conrad Osipowicz!
Andrew Kraus
Working with Conrad on the mastering for my “Music from The Golden Age of The Piano” CD was a wonderful experience. Not only did he have absolute top of the line equipment for signal processing as well as monitoring, he also had great “ears” and listening skills. With each successive processing layer, the piano sound became more… Read More
The Silver Liners
http://www.thesilverliners.comInitially, we weren’t sure of the real value of getting our album mastered so we decided to take a trial run with one of our tracks to see what Conrad could do. Not only were we 110% convinced that mastering is ESSENTIAL for any artist looking for a professional sound, but we learned a lot about the mastering process…. Read More

Whiteout Sound StudioAs a freelance Engineer fairly new to the DMV (3 years), Blue Room has been like a second home to me. Conrad & team have treated me with the utmost respect. Working out of this space brings on a whole new vibe and really allows me to connect with my clientele on a personal level. Anything you need, it’s readily available. Blue Room has been voted best studio in DC 3 years in a row for a reason. I always look forward to bringing my current & future clients into Blue Room.

As for the Blue Room, not enough accolades can be given. Conrad is the principal and primary engineer at Blue Room Music Studio where the recording and mixing for the Rasta Rock Opera were done. I want the music industry to know that this young man is a prodigy. Conrad along with his father Tadek are the co-producers of the Rasta Rock… Read More

https://www.blueroommusicstudio.comMy experience at Blue Room was fantastic!

http://www.facebook.com/derrickcreditomusic“Since late 2012, Blue Room Studio has been the only place where I record. In that short time, I’ve seen my tunes develop from solo acoustic drafts to full-blown band songs. There’s a certain chemistry in this recording environment, thanks to the studio’s state-of-the-art equipment, its personable and music-minded staff, and of course, Conrad Osipowicz’s… Read More
“We’ve been in studios that have the best equipment, but just feel cold. Conversely, we’ve been with amazingly talented people who just don’t have the right equipment. Blue Room has both; and it shines because of Conrad: his spirit, his passion, and his genuine interest in every client’s project. He has a way of making your project seem… Read More
As an early example of things to come, Conrad was, in 21st Century practical terms, telepathically sensitive; sometimes anticipating my needs or sensing them as they came to my mind. He was also very flexible and very fast at implementing my production guidelines and mixing “tricks”, during the American Guitar Trio video soundtrack… Read More
