The History of Ocean Way Recording
Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood California is the world's most awarded
studio complex. Albums recorded at the studio have sold over 1 billion units.
Generations of music icons, from Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles
to The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Michael Jackson, all the way to con-
temporary artists like Green Day, Dr. Dre, Radiohead, Kanye West, and The
Red Hot Chili Peppers, all choose Ocean Way for its phenomenal sounding
rooms, customized equipment, impeccable electronic maintenance, and ac-
cess to the music industry's most famous collection of vintage tube micro-
phones.
In 1972, Allen Sides began building custom loudspeakers and leased a ga-
rage in Santa Monica, California as a hi-fi demo room. This garage was
within steps of the Pacific Ocean and was situated on a street appropriately
named - Ocean Way. Since he knew exactly what kinds of sounds were most
impressive on his speakers, Sides did limited live to two-track recordings as
demo material. During these demos, listeners became as interested in the re-
cordings as the speakers and before long, they were asking Allen to make
their recordings. In order to service those clients, Ocean Way Recording was
born. Five Grammys and a thousand albums later Allen is still rolling.
