We are "Bay Area Studio Engineering"

Located in San Francisco, California

 

We've been doing repairs on Professional Audio Equipment as an Independent shop since 1981.
 
We repair, upgrade and modify almost all professional ANALOG equipment....
 
Ampex, MCI, Studer, Otari tape recorders....
Vintage NEVE consoles and other consoles...
from SSL's, API's, Trident, MCI, SoundWorkShop, to Soundcraft, and so on
 
 
We also work on lots of various tube equipment,
and almost all outboard gear, plus
design and manufacture Custom studio equipment when needed....

We have designed and built Complete Recording Studios
as well as done acoustic design and treatment for various problem locations
  - keeping your sound inside and the noise outside!
 
Plus we have a good selection of various parts for Professional Tape Recorders.
 
 
In 2022 I decided to cut down on most On-Site Location repairs.
Covid pretty much killed Professional Recording studios - most musicians set up small
Digital Home studios... and did their recordings at home.
Plus almost all Studios transfered over to digital systems as well.
The few studios that still exist are on the brink of closing down - with no budget for repairs.
 
 
So these days I have folks bring their equipment over to my shop... which is easy to do.
Even a 2 inch tape recorder can be easily transported with either a van or a small truck.
And shop repairs allow me to work on things at my own pace, as well as having time to run
equipment for many hours to insure it's back in good condition...

A little history of our Chief Tech and Owner 'Goreski'...
Before starting Bay Area Studio Engineering in 1981
our Chief Engineer ran the tech department at Fantasy Records over in Berkeley California...
and before that he workd for CBS Records at their San Francisco studio until CBS closed their studios in 1978.
Working for CBS there as a Disc Mastering Engineer - yep -
cutting Master Records on a Scully Lathe and Westrix Cutting Head !!
plus also doing tech work and recordings when needed.
 
Before all that he worked in an Electronics Repair shop for a couple years,
and in College he took 2 years of Electronics...

And yes just like everyone, before that he ran his own little studio recording bands and commericals....
in the late 1960's and early 70's.
