Inside a 1,050-square-foot studio that has occupied its Turquoise Street location since 1974, Pacific Beat Recording at 926 Turquoise St Suite G in San Diego, CA 92109 offers recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production services just two blocks from the ocean in North Pacific Beach. Owner and lead engineer Alan Sanderson brings more than three decades of experience to the board, having started his career at the legendary Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, where he spent roughly 12 years working with artists including Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Elton John, and B.B. King. His work as engineer on The Rolling Stones' Bridges to Babylon album and his collaboration with Switchfoot on their Grammy Award-winning Hello Hurricane cemented his reputation in the industry. The studio shares Turquoise Street with Enoteca Adriano, and the block's mix of creative businesses and neighborhood dining reflects the character of North Pacific Beach. Alan's wife, Taylin Rae, co-operates the studio and handles artist development and vocal coaching; she was named Best Music Lessons 2024 by the San Diego Reader. Together they have shaped Pacific Beat into a space that prioritizes a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere over the gear-heavy model of traditional studios, though the facility does house a Kawai grand piano and professional vocal isolation booths. Services extend beyond music to voiceovers, audiobooks, and podcasts, attracting filmmakers and businesses alongside bands and solo artists. Garnet Avenue's The Local Pacific Beach is a short walk south and a regular gathering spot for musicians after late sessions. The studio holds a 4.9-star Google rating with reviewers frequently calling out Alan and Taylin by name.
