Hyde Street Studios

Hyde Street Studios is the longest running multi-room recording studio in the Bay Area. Established in 1980 in a facility formerly occupied by Wally Heider Recording from 1969 to 1980, Hyde Street Studios was a hub for the emergence of the punk and hip-hop scenes and has remained a top destination for major recording artists. Over the years, the facility has been updated but remains fundamentally unchanged and is rich in historic character. The original acoustic designs of control rooms and live rooms remain largely untouched and sound as sweet as they did in the early 1970s. We also have unique features you won't find at modern studios like a functioning (and amazing-sounding) echo chamber, plate and spring reverbs, and tape vault. You can even find a rack of vintage recording magazines from the 1970s and 1980s in the studio lounges.
