STUDIO A

Studio A, our flagship studio, is the largest tracking space in San Diego. It has a spacious live room originally designed for recording orchestras, but equally well suited to get massive drums sounds, record full bands live, or shoot video and livestream. Additionally, Studio A houses two iso booths, a full complement of top notch outboard gear, and our prized Vintage 64-channel SSL console.
