Sonic Ranch

Sonic Ranch, in the border town of Tornillo, Texas, is the world's largest residential recording studio complex.

[1] There are five studios designed by Vincent Van Haaff[2] on a 1,700-acre (690 ha) pecan orchard,[1] which borders the Rio Grande and Mexico.

Located 30 miles (48 km) east of El Paso, Texas, in the border town of Tornillo,[1] there are five houses on the property where artists stay while recording.

Some rock bands have noted the calm, rural wilderness and easy access to Ciudad Juárez across the border.

This studio is on a property that contained one of the original "Custom House" crossing points from Mexico into the United States.

The Mix Room was designed by Vincent Van Haaff[10] and is in the left wing of the original Spanish hacienda.
