The studio was built in 1976 and its name was changed in the mid 1990s from The Music Annex to Annex Digital. In early 2003 the studio was taken over by Digital Audio Productions under the direction of Russell Bond, and the name was changed to The Annex Studios.
'''Sunset Sound Factory''' (also known as The Sound Factory) is a recording studio in Los Angeles, California.


==American Music Club at The Music Annex==
The Sound Factory opened in 1962 on Selma Avenue in Hollywood, California. At the time, it served as the home of Moonglow Records and the Moonglow Recording Studio. In 1969, former RCA recording engineer and Warner/Reprise producer, David Hassinger purchased the Moonglow Records/Studio building and renamed it The Sound Factory. The studio became one of the most popular recording studios in Hollywood, which led its owner to open a second Sound Factory studio in West Hollywood. The West Hollywood studio was eventually closed.
Most of [[American Music Club]]'s 1991 album ''[[Everclear]]'' was recorded by [[Bruce Kaphan]] and [[Tom Carr]] at The Music Annex's Studio A and at [[Soma Sync Studios]] in San Francisco, California.
 
In November 1981, Sunset Sound Recorders owners Paul and Tutti Camarata purchased the famous studio.
 
The Sound Factory has been used by many top music artists including Linda Ronstadt, Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers, Ringo Starr, Dolly Parton, Oingo Boingo, Brian Wilson, The Jackson 5, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Keziah Jones, LostProphets, Jinx Titanic, The Vines, and Harry Chapin.
