The Cabin Recording

The Cabin Recording is a private studio owned and operated by Crispin Day. Often working with the doors wide open, the studio opens onto a beautiful outdoor space. With the intention to create an environment devoid of stress or boundaries, artists and producers can work in a relaxing and calming atmosphere. The Cabin boasts an extensive selection of vintage, modern, essential and boutique items that can facilitate everything a project needs.

Our mission at The Cabin Recording is to create a space where production and overdub work can be tackled without compromise on any level. We constantly strive to create the feeling of a cottage getaway in the middle of a thriving city.
