Recording studio in San Clemente

Our small but mighty studio combines the flexibility and quality of hard-disk recording with the warmth and glue of analog gear. We use a wide selection of outboard modules, vintage synths, and current software. Every genre is welcome.

Recording

Tracking for full bands, solo artists, singer-songwriters, podcasts, and demos. A streamlined process gets your project done in a way that conveys your vision.

Mixing

We mix songs the right way, your way, combining modern tools with classic mixing techniques and equipment. Too clean? Tell us. We love making things sound dirty and classic.
