In a nutshell: Hidden recording studio in Redondo Beach…read more I came here to record a track for the band WAR with members of the USC marching band. We never think things like this are a big deal, but it is cool to say that we did it to others. Total Access has recorded a few names that have come up over the years. In particular, the band Great White (Love the hair metal). They've also recorded awesome punk bands like Unwritten Law, Pennywise, and the kinda popular Sublime and No Doubt....kinda popular. The recording techs here are very experienced and professional. They knew how to work with our setup, and how to mic us properly to get the best possible sound for the producers. Unfortunately, I don't think the producers for WAR (or one of them at least) knew what they were talking about, but the techs accommodated them and allowed for us to record at a very high level of quality. There is a lounge with a TV, and a kitchen in case you are here for the long haul. They even offered us drinks from their fridge, which was totally cool because those Monster energy drinks saved some of our butts. Note to recording engineers: If you have full-time teachers coming in to record, give them some energy drinks so they are not cranky....it was a lifesaver. Nearby within walking distance: 7-eleven Circle K Pancho's Tacos Overall we had a great experience here, and I will definitely consider this for future ventures in my own work. Not sure about the pricing, as we were not paying for the session. Thanks Total Access!

The large room is big enough for a band of eight or nine. They have all the equipment you need ready when you arrive. And they have a relaxed environment.

This a really hidden spot and you might drive right past it the first time unless you're following your GPS. The facility is small (or narrow I should say) but the practice room itself is a decent size and can comfortably fit a 6 piece band. The studio is set up in 3 sections. First you come in through the front and find yourself in the lobby/living room area. The next door takes you through the engineer's room. Once you go through the last door you'll be in the music room. The studio only has one music room, so be sure to call ahead and book your slot. In terms of equipment, it's all pretty old, but it gets the job done, as my nutshell description above states. If you are a picky musician like me, bring your own gear. The room does have outlets, AC (ask them to turn it on if you need it), a couch, fridge, drums, amps, and of course a PA system to plug into. As any budget-friendly studio, it is not fancy or fresh-smelling. The price is OK, $13/hr. You'll have to park on the street and should be able to find parking right in front or pretty close by. The studio owner (Gemini) and his girl are easy going, welcoming, and accommodating. Feel free to ask them anything in regards to the place or even music. Gemini seems to have been in the music industry for some time. Oh, one more thing. There's a bunch of fish tanks.

The studio owner and recording engineer is highly knowledgable and friendly. The studio staff are all very helpful and organized. Everybody really cares about their craft. The space itself is beautifully built and invites creativity. The atmosphere is relaxed but professional. There are several rooms for recording. As a drummer, most of my time is spent in the main room. The Hear No Evil team sets up sessions quickly while maintaining a positive atmosphere. My recording process has always gone smoothly. There are a wide range of instruments, microphones, and amps to choose from and the staff will help recommend what to use for the best result. If it's a longer session, there is a microwave and fridge to heat/store some food. Parking is on-site, free, and abundant. I give Hear No Evil my highest recommendation!

Very unprofessional. The owner, Elliot Koenig, had interns running the session and they were on…read moreTikTok most of the time. As an artist paying for studio time, that's incredibly distracting and disrespectful. I did not feel valued as a client. After leaving, I was repeatedly asked to rebook, instead of being asked how the session went. Bad vibes kill creativity. I would never go back. UPDATED Feb 1-11:24pm After leaving this review, the owner Elliot messaged me AGAIN on Instagram. Took zero accountability and only cares about his image. NOT the client. To address your comment, I asked for a discount, cuz your interns run the session. As Indie artists we have to fight to protect a space we paid for. Often times we don't have other options in the area so we suck it up, but no more! This is not a good studio. I would not go back. Look at how he responds to feedback...

The staff is on top of things and are always making improvements to the building. Unfortunately there is one tenant who forgets that he's at a 24hr building meant for music and rehearsal studios. He seems very aggressive and will yell at you to say that the music needs to be off at 10 pm. He will curse and threaten to call the cops and tell you that the company said there is a curfew when there isn't. That's the only reason for the four stars. I did call the company and they took care of it very fast and very professionally but it Kind of makes you feel uncomfortable that he's there.

I went to a sold out concert at the iconic El Rey Theater in Los Angeles and there were 800+ people screaming loudly for LA hip hop legend Pigeon John and guess who was playing keyboard, Peter Hong. He not only records, he creates. Whenever I needed to record a song, I always went to my man Peter because not only does he know what he's doing, but he creates an atmosphere that allows creativity, quality, and efficiency. He creates a business like atmosphere but we also have a great time mixing everything and experimenting with various sounds. I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about recording your track and album to get your single and record done with Peter. I've always have a great time at Studio 5A and looking forward to recording more tracks! STUDIO 5A = 5 STARS. 5 As. PERIOD.

Not only does he know exactly what his audience and the people he works with wants, he goes beyond to ensure satisfaction. His work with huge stars in both Korea and the US can attest to this. I'll definitely be using Peter again for all my projects and recommend anyone looking to get consultation or some help with their music to call Peter and make the best decision for their career or company.
