Our Bay Area recording studio has attracted many legendary artists and producers for many reasons: the rural recording setting, our on-site lodging for a total immersion experience, incredible range of recording studio spaces and the expertise of our engineers and management. But of course another key factor is the high quality of analog and digital gear we have curated over our decades-long history.
