BRINGING THE MUSIC BACK TO SAN FRANCISCO

SF Soundworks' vision is to provide world-class studio facilities
for major label productions while nurturing a community
of independent artists.

Our studios combine amazing SSL 9000J mixing consoles with
a colorful array of vintage gear, classic analog tape recorders, and
carefully optimized ProTools HD systems.

Major label projects finally have the option to stay in San Francisco
and mix on a 9K. Independent projects finally have access to a major recording studio that cares about helping all artists make
the best records possible.

Our convenient downtown location and in-house luxury
