From Hollywood's legacy rooms to Burbank's hidden gems, find the right vibe for your session.
Geography is everything in Los Angeles, and where you record defines the 'vibe' of your session just as much as the gear. Each neighborhood has its own specialty and acoustic subculture.
Hollywood & Sunset Strip: This is the home of legacy. Names like EastWest, Henson, and United define this area. If you want the 'old school' experience with massive live rooms and valet parking, this is your spot. Expect higher rates but unparalleled history.
Burbank & North Hollywood: Often called 'NoHo,' this area is the engine room of the modern industry. It’s packed with boutique mixing rooms and vocal booths. It’s more affordable than Hollywood and is perfect for modern pop, urban, and electronic producers.
Silver Lake & Echo Park: The indie heart of LA. Studios here tend to be smaller, more eccentric, and 'vibe-heavy.' You'll find lots of analog gear, vintage synthesizers, and relaxed atmospheres. It’s the perfect place for singer-songwriters and experimental bands.
Santa Monica & West LA: This area caters heavily to the film and post-production industry. If you need a room for scoring, voiceover, or Atmos mixing for a commercial project, the west side has some of the most technically advanced facilities in the world.
