2. Your project is our top priority. When you 'GO ROJO', the entire facility is closed to the public and devoted completely to your project. Your session is the only session, one session at a time.
3. Our staff, if needed, can sight-read music from your scores or lead sheets, assist with arranging your music,
or help you get it down on paper.
4. Our equipment and facilities are state-of-the-art, and we stay on top of what's happening with the latest developments in music gear, hardware, software, and technology.
5. Studio setup time is always 'on-the-house'. We never charge for preparing the studio for your session.
6. We're conveniently located in the heart of the metropolitan New York City area, very easy to get to,
and close to everything! The area offers everything you'll require, even for extended recording, including access to major highways, dining, overnight accommodations, music gear suppliers, shopping, Liberty (Newark) International Airport, New York City

8. We offer complete music production and post-production services, from original concept, to masters,
to copies, and everything in between.
9. We will never engage in the all-too-familiar practice of 'nickeling-and-diming' you to death, and we'll do everything to avoid ' the meter-is-running' approach to recording that you'll find with many studios.

"Just wanted to say thanks for
lending your expertise! I purchased a drum kit in
January 2008 with
the intention of teaching myself to play. I soon learned I needed a guide to learn
a solid foundation.
After several failed attempts to secure a reliable and capable teacher, I was referred
to your service.
After one month of
lessons my friends, family and neighbors have noticed the difference!"
Davy White – Student
"If you are looking for a high-quality result in a friendly atmosphere with talented engineers at an excellent
value point, then Rojo Sound is where you want to be. The equipment is top notch as well."
Bill Pontiac – Atlantic City Expressway, Jody Joseph, original Jon Bon Jovi band member.
"Want great clarity of sound, great over-all production of your music?
Check out Rob McNamara's
Rojo Sound Studio. I did and you'll love it."
Jimmy Rosica – The original and current bass player for
Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge
