“Without ever having met Pete, I e-mailed him to see if he could produce, mix and master my 5-song EP within the following few weeks. His prompt, professional and personal response, followed by a couple of phone calls to talk through what I wanted and how the process would work, impressed me immediately. He committed himself fully to the process, even though he was very busy with other projects on at the same time, fitting in time to record the different artists I was collaborating with, in different locations, as needed to align with everyone’s schedules. His technical skills are superb and his equipment is top notch, but what impressed me most was Pete’s attitude and philosophy around his job. He just wants to “get out of the way of the song” and show your ideas in their best light, giving gentle and very helpful suggestions along the way to help you with that objective. I’m really proud of the recordings that came out of this process, and it’s hard to imagine having done them with anyone else. I really can’t recommend Pete enough.”

“Last year, I set an ultimate goal for myself: create an album of my original songs. I didn't care if it took years to do; the only requirement was that it has to be the kind of quality of which I can be proud for the rest of my life.

As such, I was in no hurry to find a producer. It only mattered that I found the right one to bring this dream to life. As life would have it, I met Pete, and we had our first session yesterday.

From our brief conversation at the beginning, he was able to determine exactly what I need from him, musically and emotionally, in order to create this album - including often overlooked factors like the studio being a safe space where the artist can feel vulnerable, trusted, respected, creative in new and weird ways - and even though we were only scheduled for three, we spend the next nine hours creating, laughing, learning and putting all that energy into the music.

The Dreams Loft isn't just a name that Pete slapped on the business - it truly describes his personal mission to make the dreams of other artists come true. I was honestly floored not only by his passion but how incredible his skills are. I don't think I realized what could truly be possible - technically, sonically - with my album until he showed me.

I can't express much I'm looking forward to our next session and the album I now know needs to made with Pete :)”

“I had the most incredible day recording with Pete at The Dreams Loft today, from start to finish it was an absolute pleasure - Not an easy feat when you're in the studio for 11 hours! I was made to feel right at home when I arrived and Pete was an absolute legend to work with, re-doing takes and having patience when I was indecisive about certain aspects of the recording, and adding in some friendly yet hugely helpful suggestions for track production. I can't recommend The Dreams Loft highly enough if you're looking for top class recording, a relaxed atmosphere & the best coffee in all of Galway. Can't wait to call back & record more music with Pete in the future!”

“An excellent "all-in-one" music recording service. From song crafting to arrangement to instrumentation to mixing/mastering.”

“Myself and Pete began construction on my EP at the beginning of last summer, after months of planning and scheming. The following 3-4 months were filled with coffee, laughs, pep talks, brainstorming, expression and a sort of creative symbiosis.
It never mattered what kind of week he was having, I was always greeted with the same smiley "Maaate!" and an offer of a cup of the good stuff every time he opened the door.
We put in some long days here and there but Pete's enthusiasm never faltered. His desire to improve and his hunger to learn meant he entered every session energised and excited and it rubbed off on me both in the studio and in my personal life.
Pete is both exceptionally creative and militarily organised, a combination that's hard to come by and he has been one of the most positive influences on my life over the last two years.

And he can dance.”

“Wonderful introduction to this phenomenal artist/ singer who portrayed the strength and depth of the words expressed in my new song presented to him . This fine studio can convert any lyrics to a symphony of sounds that will make the record a treaure for many years to come for all who are lucky to hear it.”

“Top quality! Recorded a song with Pete today, highly recommended! Cheers again Pete!! (and for the coffee and cake too) ;) can't wait to upload the song!”

Good honest lad, down to earth. Next big thing in Galway. Relaxing and definitely worth a check out for anyone thinking of recording.

Did Vocals, Guitar, saxophone and not a small amount of acting in 2 hours... Highly efficient went from recording at whisper volume to full on belting with very little turn around. Very cosy setup as well. We even had enough time for tea!

Record here! Do it. You won't regret it

“Pete! You're great craic!
I got the pleasure of recording an original with Pete yesterday. He knew exactly what was needed for the song to come to life in such an efficient and proffessional manner.
I had such a laugh Pete. Thank you for time, skills, fun and of course, your tea and cakes. Can't wait for our next session.”

“Pete is professional and enjoys being on the edge of quirkiness....
I was impressed though as l was able 2 walk into The Dreams Loft and Pete was able 2 quickly and efficiently set me up 2 play what u can now view....
It's nice 2 work with someone who knows what they r doing.....
Rocknroll.....xo”

“What a wonderful experience!
My fiancé and I recorded a ballad in The Dreams Loft to be used as our first dance song. We came practically unprepared but Pete knew exactly what to do and handled the day with great deal of passion and professionalism. We had lots of fun and felt understood, encouraged and relaxed the whole way through. We simply love the final record and I can’t thank Pete enough for turning my crazy idea into a reality. We’d love to come back for more recordings in the future.”

“Just had a great recording session at the dreams loft. I'm really happy with the finished product. Pete's a great musician and producer, fun to work with and I'd highly recommend him.”

“Really enjoyed the day what better way to spend my birthday then with pete in his recording studio very professional job well satisfied”

“I am long overdue in writing this. I had a great time recording at The Dreams Loft. Pete's enthusiasm is infectious and got me excited about recording again! He helps you bring out the best version of your own work as well as offering up some solid advice such as singing techniques. I look forward to working with him again and would thoroughly recommend The Dreams Loft to anyone looking to write and record music.”

“Had my second album recorded at the The Dreams Loft, what a pleasant experience. Right on the money, Pete knew what I wanted and the finnished product manifest just that. Sometimes artist think they know what they want but don't other times the studio guy thinks he knows what you want but don't. Pete isn't one of those guys....he approach from an experience point-of-view. Nice work Pete.”

“The Dreams Loft is the place where dreams come true! I had an experience of a lifetime! Composing a song specially for me - this feeling is beyond fabulous! Pete is so creative, fun, inspiring and supportive! I felt like the Queen of the music world! Absolute bliss!
The Dreams Loft is the place where amazing music is composed, recorded and shared with the world. If it wasn't Pete Duffy and The Dreams Loft, many talents would be unnoticed.
Please keep doing this amazing job and share the beauty of music with us!”

“As a travelling musician, what I needed was high quality audio and video engineering to highlight what I do on a tight timeframe (ie: fast turnaround) to provide exposure while I'm on the road - and at a price that doesn't break my vagabond troubadour budget.
Pete and Emma, at the Dreams Loft not only did all that, they made me laugh. I'd say the banter and smiles were a cheeky bonus, but honestly, the quality of output aside, I think their attitude, and professionalism mixed with a lighthearted charm is what makes this place what it is. And that makes it so easy to recommend.
Stay rad, and see you again soon, Nosbrodamus.”

“First time in the studio recording and it was sensational! Pete makes a good cup of coffee and we got to work straight away! The time flew by! But I was extremely happy with the quality of the equipment! And definitely the quality of Pete's skillzzzz! Check out the Dreams Loft, for sure!”

“Saying that meeting and working with Pete in The Dreams Loft was the highlight of my 3.5 week stay in Ireland is an understatement. If you had told me before I left Manhattan on December 2 that in less than ten days' time I'd be sitting in a Galway home studio talking, writing, and singing (!) with a very talented and caring musician, I would've ordered you a pint to congratulate you on your preposterous imagination. I'd never recorded my voice singing, and despite all my writing experience, I'd never written a song. And yet, that's exactly what happened upon my arrival in Galway. On Tuesday, I met Pete Duffy in Cafe Express, and we exchanged pleasantries at first. But after just a few minutes, the conversation electrified, we uncovered similar obstacles in creating our art--his, music and mine, writing. In a direct and caring invitation, he offered me his services; we would write a song together to explore the obstacles that we both faced. He invited me to The Dreams Loft, and magic ensued. Working with Pete over two sessions unlocked the writers' block I had been experiencing and introduced me to a new level of creativity that I didn't know was possible. Not only was I able to share with him much about my life and writing troubles, I was also able to capture the ennui I had been feeling in a way that empowered me to move forward. And I was also able to sing! Pete definitely created a calm and inspiring atmosphere and encouraged us both the entire time. He dedicated his time and talent all in the service of supporting my art, and that is truly a gift to be given. Most importantly, we also had FUN. His playful yet serious approach created a levity that allowed me a new perspective on my "difficulty" with writing. We had a blast. It's hard to imagine that after only a few hours and our two heads together, a new piece of art was created: our song Choose To Be Numb. Please listen and enjoy and check out Pete Duffy and The Dreams Loft. It won't disappoint you.”

“Hello!
I was recording at the The Dreams Loft not too long ago and had the most amazing time! :D Honestly can't thank Pete enough for his patience, creativity and professionalism - 10/10 m8. I would certainly recommend The Dreams Loft. Unfortunately it won't let me link the song I recorded in the review section but I'm delighted with it. Thank you so much x”

“Had a amazing and funny time recording with Pete Duffy in the dreams loft very impress at the lay out/professional of Pete and the studio.Very warm and welcoming feeling plus great coffee! Pete said he climb the mountains of south America to gather it himself that's class!. Can not wait to return to The Dreams Loft and get back to it.”

“Loved every second of my session ,i couldn't be happier � such a relaxed chilled out vibe in there , would highly recommend and I'll definitely be back again � thanks Pete �”
