Flying Whale Recording Studio in Cedar Ridge, CA | Music Equipment

Performing and recording music is an artistic, emotional and technical endeavor. Sometimes it`s just pure fun. Sometimes it is hard work. Finding what works best for an individual or group is the first concern at Flying Whale Recording. It`s warm and bright and you can do anything there!
Owner/engineer Bruce Wheelock has been operating Flying Whale Recording Studio at the same location since 1993, offering professional audio recording in a relaxed enviornment with excellent gear at surprizing rates.
Bruce learned the recording process from "the other side of the glass," having played and recorded trap drums for 20 years before morphing to the control room. This gives him a natural sensitivity to the needs of the performer. He has also performed in a myriad of bands and run live sound for many others. Bruce is perfectly happy to assist any producer or engineer the artist chooses.
