Studio D Recording

My home base is Studio D, a world class recording facility located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito. It consists of a spacious live room (with acoustics ideal for recording drums, strings, choirs, or literally anything you can think of) 3 iso booths, various instruments (Yamaha C7 Grand Piano, Rhodes, Synths, B3 Organ), and an impressive assortment of vintage and modern studio equipment. Our control room notably features a SSL9000J console (formerly owned by Green Day).

The history of Studio D spans 40 years, and over that time has been responsible for some major work. Soundgarden, Rick Rubin, Faith No More, Huey Lewis & The News, Train, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Santana, Aretha Franklin, and so many others have worked on their projects here. Many have hailed Studio D as one of the greatest rooms to record drums in the world.

I was tasked with managing & restoring Studio D in late 2023, I had been working there previously as an engineer. The studio was in pretty rough shape, & hardly any of the equipment available worked properly. Over the course of 2 years, and with the help of some friends & excellent techs, the studio is finally back in proper working order!
