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.

We were able to book pretty last minute, which was nice! Parking was easy, though we did have to…read morecall the front desk to have them open the gate to let us park in their lot. Studio spaces are large and set up well - it was pretty musty (not too unusual for studio space rentals) but I have asthma and am pretty sensitive to those sorts of things so I don't know if I can return. Staff was super lovely and helpful. And the location is very convenient (we were coming from a downtown event and it's a pretty central spot for people who live all over LA).

You can hear music coming from every room as you walk down the hall to the bathroom. My Engineer Ricardo was excellent I just trusted him with the mix and let him do his own thing.

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.

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. I've been practicing here with a few bands for about a year and I've never had a bad experience. You can now book a session online.

In a nutshell: this is a good place to come to when all you care about is a place to practice your…read moreinstrument freely. Now to the details. 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.

I had an issue recently where I had mistakenly left a small piece of gear there and they helped me. I am lucky that in my other bands we have houses/garages/etc we can practice in.
