Came here for sound check for the performance on the Super Legends Cruise on Royal Caribbean…read moreCruise. The bands the have was very happy with the acoustics in this studio. They have 4 rooms here and they are all acoustical made. This studio has everything needed to work on a musical project. Andrew was very helpful in assisting in everything we needed done while here he is good and musically inclined in finding your way around this studio.

Culver City location: The rooms lack adequate soundproofing. The bleed through is pretty bad…read more The premises are pretty clean and organized. Helpful staff. The parking lot is rather small, about 10 spaces. But usually not a problem. There is limited street parking. The 4 studios, A,B,C,D, are clean and the equipment is pretty good and new-ish. Clean restroom. For a couple of bucks they offer coffee, sodas, snacks. Yes, there are a few unhoused people (bums) wandering the neighborhood and alleys. But I haven't had any problems. My main complaint is the soundproofing is not very good and the noise from adjacent studios is sometimes deafening and interferes with our rehearsals/recording. The bass from the adjacent studio last night actually hurt my ears. This needs to be fixed. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Absolutely the Best Recording Studio in Los Angeles! Had to…read morerecord a demo of 5 songs. Glen the engineer recorded them so efficiently. Glen is a Super Pro. We actually had started this demo at another Studio in Santa Monica. They ruined everything they touched. So, we started over in Glen's Studio from a good friend's referral. Everything was perfect this time! Great mixes through the headphone. We knocked all 5 songs out in 4 hours. Which is actually phenomenal. Highly Recommend Pacifica Studios for your recording needs!

Pirate used to be very good but the equipment is very worn out these days…read more I went for a drum session after a few years off the kit and the first studio I rented had a destroyed snare head. Their customer service (via WhatsApp) got me into another studio, upgraded size, free of charge. This one had clamps that wouldn't hold the toms, the screws were totally stripped out on the kick pedal and the whole kit would start falling apart midway through a song. They moved me to another room which was missing a bunch of equipment and had hi-hats for crash cymbals so I asked to be moved back to the previous. I was able to limp through on a few tracks but eventually the kick pedal wouldn't stay in place for longer than a verse or chorus and the rack toms were swinging around in their stripped clamps and the start/stop was making this really pointless. I asked for a 50% refund which I did NOT receive, they gave it back as credit towards next time. Here's the deal: I will be back because they're the best option nearby. Band rehearsal spaces are a tough business. The gear gets absolutely thrashed and maintenance takes both specialized knowledge, money, and care. It seems like their on-site manager either doesn't care, doesn't have the budget to fix things, or has no idea what they're doing. Pirate's the only option nearby that doesn't feel like I'm going to get robbed, stabbed, or tetanus. I'm going to start building up my own small gear to supplement what they can't seem to take care of (cymbals, snare, kick pedal) and hope the problems stop there.
