This past July a new recording studio popped up on Sacramento's radar.  Sanctuary Recording Studios was founded by DJ Reason & Mr. Blap to provide musicians of all types with a very exclusive and private recording studio experience.

Loaded with talent and all the gear to feed it these guys are in a prime position to take Sacramento by storm.

When you walk in you insantly walk up some stairs to the Penthouse Suites of an office building/business park just outside of Downtown Sacramento.  As you reach the second floor you are faced with 1700 square feet of creative space.  At the far end of the hall you'll find their isolation booth...a comfortable 130 square feet and comes with an "in-booth" headphone pre-amp so that artists can adjust their own volume while recording.  The Control Room is an astounding 550 square feet complete with 2 couches, a refrigerator, a microwave, and gear.  The gear includes everything from a Roland Phatom to Mac Book Pro with Logic Studio.  They've got rack mount midi synthesisers, an MPC 2000, Pro Tools LE, Technique turntables....you name it!  These guys have what you need to get the job done.

Not to mention their prices are reasonable.  $45 an hour with an Engineer and they even sell discount blocks of time for those who are certain that they want to create music here.  This is definately a space where I will be making my music...and not just because I own it...
