They have my highest recommendation and if you are considering working with them, I'm certain you will share my enthusiasm."

"Having worked with Rich Wenzel for over 20 years, I can say that he is the consummate professional. As a musician, engineer, producer, arranger and business owner, he has always provided expert and caring attention to every project, big or small. He has a wealth of experience and talent that is available as required by the situation. He also has access to some of the finest musicians in the area, has an excellent rapport with them, and knows how to bring out their best. We were very happy with his participation on the recent Power of Positive Music vol 1. He's never at a loss for creative ideas, but is always willing to support the client's wishes."

"I've recorded projects for myself and other clients at Ardent Audio Productions for over 15 years and in all that time the quality has been first rate. Rich Wenzel has up to date equipment with prices you can afford. I highly recommend his studio to everyone."

Clydene Jackson Edwards
Singer/Songwriter


This from an old blues-man from the great state of Louisiana...

"I'm J.J. Bad Boy Jones (Blues Legendary) off playing music 65 years 1937 since I was 10 years of age, and I have been recording in studios for a long time. But the fact is that I found a studio with the most incredible crystal sound ever in my long search for a great recording studio. The name of this studio is called by the name Ardent Audio Productions, own and operated by the owner and friend of mine plus a great musician, his name is Rich Wenzel."
