Tucked into the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, this private recording studio is a quiet, focused space built for making records without distraction.

The studio is eclectic and comfortable, designed to support both creativity and critical listening. The control room centers around carefully chosen outboard gear and accurate monitoring for intuitive, honest mixing, while a dedicated tracking room offers a flexible environment for everything from stripped-down sessions to full arrangements.

Owner and engineer Mike Formenti brings over 30 years of experience, with an approach that’s grounded, collaborative, and attentive to each project.

Mixing services are available for artists looking to bring their recordings into focus with balance, depth, and clarity—always with careful attention to tone, space, and feel.
