Central to LA. 24 hour access is crucial for late night gigs. Jay, the manager, is a chill guy. He'll get on your ass if you disrespect the place like leave garbage in the lobby or break the rules, but he looks out for everyone and has always been reasonable. The spot is great to store your gear, have meetings, rehearse your music, record and produce music during quite hours, and make connections. It gets hot in the summer, but the rooms have AC. Overall this place is a gem. It has allowed me to grow my music, my business and my brand.

Working with Rene at Future Sound Studios was the best decision I made in 2018…read more The worst decision I made was using my drummer's boyfriend's studio. I had three great songs that I had written over the summer that I decided needed recording for my debut album. My drummer offered her bf's studio to record the band, which was cool at first. It ended up being a HUGE mistake--the drums sounded AWFUL recorded in his place. Small, tinny, behind-a-padded-wall sound. Out of sync totally. Not to mention his overall attitude was weird--it ended up being his session, not mine. I thought there was no hope for saving these records. And I still had yet to record my vocals. Luckily, we found Rene on Yelp. With his help, I was able to record my vocals and get the drums fixed to a T. Rene made my songs go from B-side 1960's crap small-studio sounding to 2019 sparkling, widescreen Katy Perry perfection. We also go the songs done relatively quickly. I was obviously a bit trepidatious going back into a studio after that last experience, but I shouldn't have been. Rene is very nice and personable, the opposite of what I experience so often in Hollywood. I felt comfortable in his studio the second I stepped foot inside. Rene and I are also on the same wavelength creatively--we both feel when a take is right and when it's not, when a song is hot and when it's not. He is very honest and will tell you the truth, which I appreciate. My favorite part of working with him is his sense of humor. I also respect how I requested no autotune on my voice and he actually listened--most other engineer/producers I've worked with laugh right in my face at that and never do it, they're too egotistical to ever let the singer make mistakes on their record. But he let me try it. Remember, as a mixer, masterer and engineer, his success is your success. He is a hard worker-I must have asked him for 40 files for TV and film placement purposes and he sent me every single one immediately. He is a walking plethora of musical knowledge. The actual room is small where I recorded, but it worked fine for me and my backup singer. If you really wanted to, you could cram a small choir in there, maybe a horn. Rene's studio is for overdubs, not bands. So, keep that in mind. Although he does have other rooms. Great, high-quality gear, too. Fantastic mics. Rene is awesome! I can't imagine going to anyone else to finish this album. Excited to work with him again. Would recommend! 10/10 ***check out edithviolette.com to hear the final product, will be out soon***

He is an amazingly talented composer, friendly, welcoming, accommodating and will even add ideas to boost your track. My songs got so much attention. I think because everyone loved the beat so much . I feel like I've got a few hits on my hand. All you have to do is give him an idea of what you like and he's gonna produce that no problem. The studio is also clean and fun. U will feel like a star here! I highly recommend him. OH and did I mention the man has SOOOUUULLLLLLLLLLL

I've known Peter Hong since our college days and he was always the one getting things done behind…read morethe sound/mixing board. But his talents go beyond that. 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.

Peter is definitely the best producer and engineer that I've ever worked with. My company as well…read moreas companies that I've worked with have hired him for our production needs and he's done an amazing job every time. 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.

For: creative artists, outboard lovers, big mixes, natural sounds, unique arrangements, live…read moreinstruments, nit-picky audiophiles, down-to-earth humans with musical integrity Not for: sterile tracks, over-compressed nonsense, get-in-get-out, fads, knock-offs, cheap plugins, iZotope presets, chumps. Dave is a lifelong music maker and it's obvious. It's obvious by his (very hand-picked and constantly-evolving) collection of outboard gear and vintage microphones, by his scarily-sharp ear (can pinpoint problem frequency in kick drum from two football fields), and by his humble, head-down attitude towards music. I've been in and out of studios since my first summer cable-wrapping internship at Studio West in high school (2008)--from beachy San-Diego home studios to SF bay middle-of-the-roaders to Stephen Still's home-studio and Dave Aron's (Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, Prince) platinum-lined monster--and I go to Dave. Because folks with his talent and integrity and unique amount of personal (and monetary) investment are near-impossible to find. This place is the real-deal. Go here to make some magic.
