In March 1969, <strong>Wally Heider<\/strong> opened <strong>Wally Heider Studios<\/strong> at 245 Hyde Street, situated between Turk and Eddy Streets, directly across from the legendary Black Hawk jazz club. The building had previously been used by 20th Century Fox for film offices, screening rooms, and storage before being transformed into a cutting-edge recording facility. The studios were designed and built by Dave Mancini, with Heider envisioning four studios\u2014A and B on the ground floor and C and D upstairs. However, Studio B was never completed and instead became a game room. The first room to be operational was Studio C in May 1969, and early staff included General Manager <strong>Mel Tanner, Booking Agent Ginger Mews, Technician Harry Sitam, and Staff Engineer Russ Gary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62701 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"523\" height=\"681\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig.jpg 417w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-115x150.jpg 115w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-58x75.jpg 58w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-207x270.jpg 207w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-173x225.jpg 173w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-131x170.jpg 131w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-320x417.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-269x350.jpg 269w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-40x52.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-14x18.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-160x208.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-415x540.jpg 415w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-12x16.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-11x14.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-261x340.jpg 261w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-8x10.jpg 8w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-20x26.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-7x9.jpg 7w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-16x21.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/4283175_orig-385x501.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Frank DeMedio<\/strong> designed and built all the custom equipment and the mixing console using Universal Audio (UA) components, military-grade switches, and a simplified audio path that relied on a single preamp per channel. The studio was outfitted with Altec 604-E monitor speakers powered by McIntosh 275 tube amps. The first album recorded in Studio C was Jefferson Airplane\u2019s\u00a0<em>Volunteers<\/em>, their first recorded in their hometown. Following soon after, artists like <strong>Harry Nilsson, Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young, and the Steve Miller Band<\/strong> began making music there. <strong>Creedence Clearwater Revival<\/strong> recorded multiple albums at the facility, even naming\u00a0<em>Cosmo\u2019s Factory<\/em>\u00a0after their rehearsal space within Studio C. Engineers such as <strong>Bill Halverson, Stephen Barncard, Glyn Johns, and Allen Zentz<\/strong> played pivotal roles in shaping the sound that emerged from Heider\u2019s studios.<\/p>\n<p>As <strong>Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young<\/strong> recorded, Studio D\u2014a near-replica of Heider\u2019s Studio 3 in Hollywood\u2014opened.

During this period, Deane Jensen oversaw the installation of a new Quad Eight console in Studio A. <strong>Santana and John Hall<\/strong> were among the artists who took advantage of the new room, and CBS Records eventually took over Coast Recorders as their dedicated West Coast studio space.<\/p>\n<p>By 1978, Heider sold the studio and its name to Filmways but stayed on as manager until 1980. Filmways later sold it to a partnership of <strong>Dan Alexander, Tom Sharples, and Michael Ward<\/strong>.
