Associated Students, San Diego State University
The Backdoor Studio is a service of Associated Students and is a creative outlet for all students at SDSU! Serving as a space for students to record and produce their art as well as express their creativity with friends, The Backdoor Studio offers equipment for professional recording and producing technology. The Backdoor Studio is staffed by student Media Studio Technicians to guide equipment use.
With The Backdoor Studio’s wide range of available equipment, users will be able to complete a variety of projects. This includes, but is not limited to, audio recording, video recording, photoshoots, audio/video editing and photo editing.
The Backdoor Studio is located on the first floor of the Aztec Student Union behind the Information Booth, at the end of the pedestrian bridge and across from the Oggi’s patio. Learn about how The Backdoor Studio got its name!
The naming of the space is in honor of an important part of SDSU's history. The (original) Backdoor was located in the former Aztec Center (which was torn down and replaced by the current Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union). The space was originally intended to house two lanes of the Aztec Center bowling alley when it opened in 1968. Instead, the students voiced their opinion and asked for a space for coffee and music. The coffee part did not last, but the live music certainly did…for more than thirty years. This space became known as The Backdoor because the guests entered literally through the back of the venue. Despite a capacity of only 250 guests, The Backdoor hosted over 3,000 concerts featuring more than 5,500 bands and musicians, including Jimmy Buffett, Linda Ronstadt, Patti Smith, Tom Petty, REM, the Ramones, and Metallica.
Reservable Media Recording Studio
Whether novice or expert, students can utilize The Backdoor Studio to create! This can range from creating videos for class projects to making your first vlog, recording your band or starting your own podcast. The studio has acoustic paneling on the walls and curtains, creating a controlled, acoustically-treated space for recording.
Our 16’ wide x 18’ deep green screen takes up the entire back wall of the main studio space; this allows you to superimpose backgrounds and achieve limitless creative options.
Reservable Media Editing Computers
Our editing bay is equipped with three computers for all your post-production needs, with audio, video and photo editing software. We can also provide you with professional quality headphones while editing.
