Our Facility

recording studio san luis obispo slo county - darker 1.jpg

Located on California’s exquisite and unspoiled central coast, halfway between LAX & SFO, Steve Crimmel has established the ultimate get-a-way recording facility.

Hotels, vacation home rentals, restaurants, shops, and spectacular coastal views are just some of the amenities you will find nearby.

Our philosophy is basically a hi-fi, straight-wire approach using quality microphones, pre amps and EQ’s.

 
 

 

The studio offers over 8000 cubic ft. of recording space with 2 isolation booths, 2 guitar amp isolation cabinets, and a serene ambiance.
