We are a professional recording studio open to all ages.

We also offer media duplication, video and live sound while providing job training to youth.

Supported by donations and earned income, our mission is to empower youth to create artistic media and entertainment through access to technology and industry experts.

Starting out as an intern, Modesto Sound gave me the resources and education for recording live sound. As interns, we had the opportunities to go to studios, concert halls, demonstrations and live recordings. Having an interest in recording voice-overs and commercials, I have been given the opportunity in leading Modesto Sound's Radio and Public Service Announcement Team.  I'd like to thank Modesto Sound for giving me the tools I need to succeed in recording, live sound, and music.
