It's hardly swanky; in fact, run down is more accurate. But the gear is the best, and for me, I really like the lived in feel of the place. The few fancy studios I've been in are sterile and intimidating, hardly conducive to good music making. Here's a guest post I did about Hyde Street, for anyone interested (it's short!). http://cpheegaard.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-third-place-set-serenely-and.html Jeff I’ve done almost all my recording at Hyde Street Studio C in San Francisco.

Also, like your graphic designer friend, things that are wrong distract me. @ DJSDive : Yeah, I find that having a nice environment motivates me to work harder too.

All the right bits connected up and ready to go with wires out of the way (as much as possible!) - otherwise i don't feel like sitting in the room! Hehehe....
