"I have done many projects with Dave Weber at Airtime Studio. I am very particular about the rooms I work in and the engineers I work with. Airtime is now the preferred studio for my projects from tracking to mixing.
Gary Katz - Producer (Steely Dan)
"Your awesome recording of Chase (Coy) has made mixing this record really easy. Thanks.
Michael Brauer - Grammy-Winning Mixing Engineer
"I
have found Airtime Studios in Bloomington, Indiana to be the most
professional sounding and trouble free studio I have ever worked
in. Dave Weber is a master sound technician! No matter what kind
of instrument or music you are recording, he can get high quality
sounds FAST, and he knows and operates his equipment perfectly.
One of the most impressive qualities that Dave possess is his musicianship.
He has great ears! Not only for sound, but he knows when something
is a little out of tune, out of time, and you can trust his judgment!
Working with Dave Weber is like collaborating with a great artist.
Your project will turn out beyond your expectations. Mine did!"
N. Scott Robinson - Percussionist
Most likely I can't say enough about it. It seems amazing, looking
back that i could write a bunch of songs in the middle of the pacific,
fly to Indiana, cut and mix a dozen of them in a matter a days and
still have time to drink too many beers and play some pool. that
was only possible because of you and your abilities. You put together
the musicians (what a great crew), had killer creative ideas, engineered
flawlessly and even put an amazing flute track on "homecoming".
when I was back in Maui and wanted to add cello to a couple of tracks...
not a problem. when I put that cd today the vibe that we captured
in those fast, few and blurry days is still there, it's a good vibe
and that, to me, is what making records is all about.
Eric Helmkamp - Maui Hawaii
I
highly recommend Airtime. It’s one of my favorite places to
work. The main room is one of the nicest that I have seen anywhere;
it has a great natural sound, and easy sightlines between all the
booths and the control room. They have a beautiful grand piano,
a Wurlitzer, and a Hammond organ. It’s out in the country
where it’s peaceful and quiet. While you are playing you can
look out the window and see birds and trees. Dave Weber is an excellent
engineer and his production ideas are an asset to any project.
Jason Wilber- Songwriter/Guitarist (John Prine)
Airtime
Studios provided a professional, comfortable atmosphere for creating
and recording. The space has a warmth and spirit to it that feels
like art in the making. The facility itself had a nice assortment
of audio equipment, instruments, amps a beautiful Yamaha piano,
B-3 organ and Wurlitzer piano. David Weber's talents as a musician,
engineer and producer have contributed greatly to the sound, feel
and audio quality of several of my nationally released recordings.
Carrie Newcomer - Rounder Records Artist
I’ve
done seven projects at Airtime over the past 5 years and I have
been astounded by the quality, competency, efficiency, and friendliness
of this studio. Dave Weber is a master of listening, editing, and
helping groups sound and play their best. I have seen him fix equipment
and solve last minute logistical problems on the spot that would
shut down most studios. Amid this huge technical understanding,
Dave is literate in a vast array of musical styles, and his understanding
of pitch and rhythm in different idioms is unusually astute. Dave
recorded our old-time string band’s CD, The Monks, Let Us
Play, and it was awarded top old-time recording of the year (2000)
by County Records, the largest distributor in the world of bluegrass
and old-time music.
Sam Bartlett
Airtime
studios became my second home for quite a while, and I loved every
minute of it. Not only is Dave Weber a great engineer/producer,
but he built a studio (with his own two hands) that is comparable
in sound quality to many studios twice the size and cost. Airtime
Studios is quickly becoming one of the best all around studios in
the Midwest. And to top it off, Dave is one hell of a nice human-being
and deserves your business!!"
Pete Wilhoit- Drummer (Fiction Plane)
Dave
Weber is the best. he has helped straight no chaser, as well as
an independent effort of two of the group's senior members, immensely
in all areas...productivity, innovation, creativity, taking risks...the
list goes on and on. Dave’s very easy to work with...a source
of creative energies that, when tapped, brings forth the challenge
to consistently one-up oneself artistically. he is definitely the
best asset our group has ever had...far beyond the competition when
it comes to the quality of his work, as well as the professionalism
and dependability he exudes in his efforts. Dave is always one for
trying new ideas in the studio...not only does this make the client's
work sound one notch higher than "the mainstream," but
it also creates a fun atmosphere conducive to making some great
music! consistently offers credible and constructive criticism that
can provide fresh perspectives in the songwriting process, allowing
artist and engineer to work off of one another effectively, bettering
and benefiting both sides of the project subsequently in the long-run.
Ryan Alwart - Director Straight No Chaser acapella group, Mitchell
Street Band
"Airtime
Studios has been an amazing facility that I've depended on many
times throughout my career. Dave Weber is an exceptionally gifted
engineer with the utmost regard for his clients. I recommend him
highly to anyone looking to record music no matter how small or
large their budget."

When
I was a kid I thought an engineer was a guy who drove a train. I
have never thought of Dave Weber as an engineer. But he is. The
best I’ve ever worked with. He makes ideas happen quicker
than anyone I know. You might say he’s an engineer of the
train of thought. He instinctively hops on board a mere glimmer
of a notion and gets it to stand alone for viewing. He’s a
musician, a producer, a highflying trapeze catcher, a clown and
an ace mechanic- I mean the guy has a brain in the tip of each digit.
If there’s a tech, or gear problem his hands seem to procure
solutions effortlessly both in and out of the box. His people skills
are just as agile at keeping sessions with diverse personalities
on track. When a session becomes a three-ring circus he can run
it. Yes, he has been a professional ring-master too. Above all he
is the most generous “can-do” person I know. He lives
for the music. I’ve heard the best work of many vastly different
musicians come out of his studio.
Malcolm Dalglish
Dave
Weber and Airtime Studios is my number one choice for recording.
Every recording experience I've had with Dave has been one of musicality,
warmth and the utmost professionalism. Dave is a dexterous and sensitive
engineer, and an excellent producer and co-producer. Airtime Studios
is an environment that is the perfect balance for efficiency and
creativity - and a highly flexible and sophisticated space.
