One of our favorite studios (and studio owners) in Richmond CA, across the bay from San Francisco. It is located in an industrial area where nobody cares how much noise you make. Large guitar amplifiers have been recorded in the parking lot!
Studio owner Steve Suda is a great guy and also a great cook! Here he is in the studio kitchen whipping up some grub for us (extra cost). Steve is a former musician, and has a nice collection of amplifiers (see pic) and other stuff (see jukebox in his office). The studio has a large room, with high ceilings and other rooms attached to use for recording as well. Let's not forget the 'lounge', with old pinball machine and mini-basketball game, cable TV and video games. There's also a park along the beach not far away. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge from there.
Blues artists such as Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Rusty Zinn and others have recorded there, so if you're looking to work in the SF area, give Steve a call.
