About Me

Prairie Sun Recording is a professional facility for tracking, mixing, and mastering located in scenic Sonoma County, California. Tucked away in a rural setting, yet convenient to the greater SF Bay Area, Prairie Sun provides an environment conducive to intense creative work, including on-site lodging available to artists currently in-session. Our three studios are equipped with an extensive collection of vintage and state-of-the-art equipment: an SSL console in studio A and Neve consoles in studios B and C, 2 24-track tape machines and Pro-Tools systems in all 3, an engineers dream mic locker, and a selection of the classic essential outboard gear. Our tracking rooms are of a similar high caliber. They include a 1,000 square foot live chamber and a unique small live chamber that was the site for the tracking of two Grammy-winning Tom Waits albums. You can learn more about us at our website, or just give us a call. Let us put our experienced engineers and world-class facility to work for you. We are interested in your project and your budget!
