Saylor’s location in the San Fernando Valley was built on a ranch style property in the mid-2000’s. He has said about the facility, “All those classic rooms in town have high ceilings, which made my two story barn, with its natural acoustics, the perfect setting for my new room.”
The new studio was meant to not only serve Skip and his producing projects, but it was also built to assist many other successful producers, engineers and mixers that Skip has come to associate with collaborate with over his extensive and successful career.
And the studio, sometimes called “the Compound” gets rave reviews from everyone who has had the opportunity to use the facility. In addition to having a complete tracking and mix room, Saylor’s studio also has bedrooms, living areas and kitchen for artists to use while on the premises. Just a handful of the notable artists that have used the studio include Booker T. Jones, Jazz Saxophonist Mindi Abair and former Cosby show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
Saylor has said, “I enjoy the diversity of work I do here, and I strive to offer the best tools for making the highest quality recordings, providing an environment where the artist is comfortable and can thrive.”
