“A community inspired, cozy studio in the mountains built to get away from it all, lodge and feel inspired to write, record, mix and video music.”
-The Santa Cruz Times
Sloth Mountain Studios is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains on private land among 100 year old giant fir trees with hiking trails and campsites. The studio has a long list of back line instruments & amps that are welcomed to be played. The live room has hardwood floors, tall ceilings and the control room has a comfy couch.
The studio is a hybrid all analog chain to digital that’s ideal for tracking live bands, singer songwriters and more.
