about the studio

Since January, 2000, San Pablo Recorders has been a place for artists, local and national, to record in a comfortable, affordable and relaxed environment. Located conveniently on San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, CA, San Pablo Recorders is an intimate, well laid out studio
designed to make creativity number one.

With features like balanced power,(to cut down on noise) and unobstructed sight lines from each of the four dedicated isolation environments, focusing on the music feels easy. Record directly to hard disk withthe pristine, open sound of Protools, or choose the smoky warm tones of yesteryear with 2” analogue tape. We can even sync tape and Protool together to keep the drums fat and the vocals shimmering. Either way, we’ve got you covered. Whatever your musical
vision and style, San Pablo Recorders has handled them all. From classical guitar to experimental jazz, heavy rock to funky r&b, we’ve guided projects of every genre from the first note, all the way through mastering.
