Studio Trilogy is a multi-room recording facility located in the heart of the SOMA district of San Francisco. The studio offers an extensive equipment collection including an SSL 9080K console, Studer multi-tracks, and Digidesign HD3 systems. In addition to a variety of recording spaces, the facility also boasts a number of comfortable lounges and play spaces, including a backyard garden and bbq area, rooftop deck, playroom, and a beautiful apartment.

The studio was originally opened in 2006 to serve as a home base for Talking House Productions and its in-house label Talking House Records. After a recent separation from the production company and record label , Cindy McSherry, Justin Lieberman, and Willie Samuels took over management of the studio facility and renamed it Studio Trilogy. It now operates as a “traditional” studio-for-hire business. The team are all veterans of the Bay Area studio scene having held past engineering and management positions at Different Fur, SF Soundworks, Crescendo! Studios, Russian Hill Recording, Nu-tone, and Studio 880.
