The on site staff member who oversees the property was disrespectful, creepy, rude, and accusatory whenever something in the building was dysfunctional. It got to the point where I no longer felt comfortable even using the space I paid for monthly. And worst of all, this studio did not keep record of any of my monthly rental payments (zero receipts). As a working musician, this really affected my taxes at the end of the year and ruined me financially. Don't go here. It is a waste of money. It is not worth the stress of dealing with their on site management.

I don't want to knock this place completely, but they have certain things going on that annoy me…read more I play with triggers, but the heads on the kick drums are so old and loose and poorly maintained, that you cannot even get enough of a response on them for the trigger to pick it up. And this is in the many rooms we've tried. On the plus, they have tons of rooms and generally decent parking, although prepare to have to park far away in the parking lot. On the big minuses, is their refusal to book any room starting on an odd number hour. So, for example, you cannot book a room from 1-3 pm. They insist you start at noon, when they open or at 2pm, so they don't have to eat the 1 hour from 12-1pm. I've never faced this at any other rehearsal studio in Los Angeles. They will book you from 12-3, however, and then just eat the hour from 3-4pm. Huh?! Like, dude, your logic makes zero sense. I'd rather go to Grooveworks in Long Beach or Summit in Pasadena. Many other good spots without such arbitrary rules. Luckily won't have to go back. Trying to talk logic to the owner is like beating your head against a wall.

From full back line, DAW access, cables, mic locker, sound boards, P.A, etc, the place is really a hub to help give your project highly valuable tools and studio experience if you put the work in. Mike has been cool throughout out tenure and we've even done photo shoots, music videos, and more here. Located in the heart of uptown Whittier, right next to one of the best record stores in the greater L.A area (shout out to Lovell's!), the studio is a gem. So glad we found this place and thanks to Mike for giving us a place to call home. Stoked to be bringing our debut L.P to life here.

With a welcoming owner, a continually improving environment, and a location that's easy to work around, it's a great fit for bands that want to practice, record, and grow week after week.

Overall, it's the rare studio where you can feel the pride in the room, and that translates directly into better outcomes for the bands using it.

The audio engineer was very patient with my son and his friends. They were writing down lyrics for the rap AT the recording studio, while the audio engineer was converting his song on spotify into his protools. Great microphone. An the recording quality was great, watching him move around protools sop fast was hypnotizing. The mix sounded great and he was teaching my sons friend how to play different chords on the guitar. He also taught him how to solo. He has a great keyboard with many sounds including a really good sounding rhodes, clavinet, and piano. He shared a lot of wisdom and showed my son where to get protools and how to use it. My son and one of his friends rapped, and he was patient, giving them as many tries as they would like. he also added beat drops, and quickly mixed the song down. He airdropped it to me. My son, his friends, and I were overall completely satisfied with his performance, patience, swiftness, wisdom, and kindness. I highly reccomend this studio, and hope you will give it a try!

I talked to Yaniv, who was very friendly, and we had a consultation scheduled with a few days. He assessed the situation, gave us great recommendations, and explained pricing. It was expensive but worth every penny- they sound proofed an entire wall in 1 room (and both doors) and the work was flawless- it's an entire fabric wall (we got to pick the color) and it blends seamlessly. With my door closed, the noise reduction from my hubby's room is reduced by like 75%. We are very pleased with the result and highly recommend this company! Only request: financing would be very helpful. Thanks GM!
