I am a professional singer/songwriter who recently recorded at Untold Stories Recordings, and I can tell you it is one of the most satisfying and productive experiences I have ever had in a recording studio. The studio has top-notch recording equipment, and the owner Ian is a pro sound engineer and genius at mixing and mastering. Ian is also a great teacher and mentor to new talent, even going so far as to give advice and direction to help the artist navigate the tricky music business and give them their best shot at getting their music heard. Take it from me if you’re a seasoned professional or studio newbie Untold Stories Recordings is the place for you with the best rates in town!

What a blast! Ian is so patient and kind with feedback. He's such a pro and is doing the work of an entire recording studio himself. So impressive and so much fun to work with him. Highly recommend!

I recently had an awesome experience at a Untold stories recording studio. It was my first time recording, and I had no prior knowledge of the process. However, everything was easy to understand, and the steps were straightforward. I would highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to record, mix, and master their music.

Why Schaumburg Musicians Trust Us

Schaumburg represents the northwest suburbs at their most established—a major commercial hub balanced with residential neighborhoods where musicians approach their creative work with practical dedication. Artists from Schaumburg bring a straightforward work ethic to their recording projects: they’ve prepared their material, they understand what they’re trying to accomplish, and they’re looking for an engineer who can deliver professional results efficiently. Whether you’re a metal band tracking heavy guitar riffs and aggressive drums, a rock band recording guitars, bass, and full instrumentation, or a voice actor working on audiobook and commercial projects, you’ll find a studio environment that prioritizes technical skill and clear communication. Musicians from this community value quality, reliability, and an engineer who respects your time and creative vision. As Chicago’s #1 rated recording studio on Google, Untold Stories has earned that recognition by consistently delivering professional recordings for artists who expect results that match their effort. Schaumburg musicians choose us because we deliver quality work with straightforward collaboration and no unnecessary complications.

Getting Here from Schaumburg

From Schaumburg, the drive to our Pilsen studio at 1007 West 19th Street takes approximately 35-40 minutes via I-90 E (Kennedy/Northwest Tollway). Head south on Roselle Road or Meacham Road to access I-90 E, continue toward Chicago, exit at California Avenue, and head south into Pilsen. The route keeps you on a major tollway with clear signage throughout. Street parking in Pilsen is completely free and abundant, typically within half a block of the studio. No meters, no permits, no downtown parking expenses. Public transit from Schaumburg is limited—the Metra UP-NW line doesn’t directly serve the area, so most Schaumburg artists drive or arrange rideshares for the full distance. Many Schaumburg artists appreciate that while the commute is longer than inner suburbs, the route is straightforward and the drive time provides opportunity to warm up vocally, review arrangements, and mentally prepare for recording. By the time you arrive at the studio, you’ve made the full transition from your daily routine into creative mode. Plan to arrive right on time for your session, and you’ll find parking effortless, access simple, and the entire experience focused on capturing your best performances.
