Southwestern Recording in Chula Vista operates within the Recording Arts & Technology program at Southwestern College on Otay Lakes Road, offering both a Certificate of Completion and an Associate of Science in Commercial Music. The curriculum covers analog and digital audio recording, MIDI sequencing, audio post-production, live sound reinforcement, and audio for film and television, with instrument and gear pipelines feeding from South Bay music retailers such as Hollywood Music. Students track in a hybrid studio built around an SSL Duality automated console with Total Recall, complemented by a 20-station Pro Tools and Digital Performer lab, a dedicated SSL Matrix mixing suite, and two pre-production rooms. The program's performance-ready graduates service the South Bay's live entertainment and event production ecosystem, including recording and sound-design work for performing groups such as Mahana Dance Company Hula Dancers & Luau Catering. Studio configurations total four tracking rooms and two instructional labs, with the SSL Duality desk providing 48 inline channels of analog summing alongside full DAW automation and snapshot recall for multi-session client workflows.
