Among the studio's many notable projects was the 2003 Grammy Winning Record of the Year, Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me"
Acoustilog has no junior consultants. When you hire Acoustilog, you get the President's services full-time, not a junior member of a large organization. Even if you get the senior consultant at another firm, they may be too busy supervising the other jobs of their junior associates. The thousands of jobs Acoustilog has done have had one consultant exclusively, Alan Fierstein. You should consider how important a factor that is.
Acoustilog's office is downtown near Canal Street. Using subways exclusively for local trips, help can usually arrive at Manhattan locations within 20-30 minutes of receiving an emergency call. Acoustilog is also available for jobs in the outer boroughs, Long Island, Upstate N.Y., New Jersey, Connecticut and more distant locations. We return phone calls promptly.
