The Hangar

About Me

The Hangar is a multi-track recording studio in a large converted warehouse space that was operated for 12 years as Enharmonik Studios, a commercial facility. We closed the studio and business in 1998 and converted the room to a private use facility. The owner of the facility is producer/engineer John Baccigaluppi, also the publisher of Tape Op Magazine .
The studio is now available for lease on a daily and weekly basis to qualified recording engineers and/or musicians with a working knowledge of the studio process. We have focused on making the studio a unique and atmospheric tracking room with quality gear at an affordable price to encourage the creative recording process.
Check out our friends list to see and hear some of the musicians who've worked here.
If you've recorded here and we don't have you listed as a friend, let us know so we can add you.
If you haven't, even if we love your music, our friends list is a list of people who have recorded here, so we won't be able to add you to our friends.
For contact info, a complete list of gear, rates etc. please check our website .
Oh, and we are skateboarder friendly.
