Studio City Sound - Studio A neve board - Recording & Rehearsal Studios Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been working with Studio City Sound over the last 7 years on audio recording projects, and I am consistently pleased with the results. SCS has a studio complex containing individual studio rooms for a variety of needs, from recording a full-band to individual tracking of vocals or other instrumentation. It's a very professionally run operation with a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. They have a great selection of gear, including a huge library of software plug-ins, as well as vintage 'buttons-and-knobs' hardware, including a Neve 8068 console, U47 mic, and vintage outboard gear (Pultec, AMS, Urei, Empirical Labs, Tube-Tech, etc.). And they don't charge extra fees for specific equipment uses. Their Rolodex of studio musician contacts is vast. They coordinated sessions on their house drum kit for me with numerous music industry pros, including studio and touring drummers for Foo Fighters, Sting, Billy Joel and AC/DC. read more

Studio City Sound This is fast becoming my home away from home. As soon as they opened their doors to me, I felt like I was a part of their family. They may literally be, the nicest people in show business. Leading the helm is award-winning producer, Tom Weir. Tom gets just as excited about your music as you do and his quiet confidence leaves you feeling like you're in very safe hands. With an ear for expertly crafted sonic landscapes, Tom has personal experience as a successful musician so this knowledge and vision inevitably steers your music in the right direction. With decades in the business, he's well connected and earns genuine praise from his wide network of leading session musicians. Tom's extremely hard-working, efficient, and genuine. There's no beating around the bush, but he's happy to share his experiences or hear about yours while he multi-tasks. Studio City Sound is a happy place, and that rubs off onto you. Whether you're inside the studio or joining Weir and his crew for his daily home-cooked BBQ delights, you'll find yourself smiling just as much as the rest of the crew. Perhaps it's the perfect balance of intern enthusiasm and quality experience, but there's a mutual respect for each other and for their clients. What more can I say really. Legendary microphones like the original Telefunken U-47, legendary analog desks such as the Neve 8068 Mk II, all enclosed in the legendary ex-Fidelity Studios here at Studio City, CA. Studio City Sound - where the sun always shines. read more

Pleasure working with Tom Weir. Great studios great staff. Easy to contact and book. Very affordable and in the center of studio city.

Thanks Hunter for squeezing in on the fly. I know he says he is a novice but he used keen insight wit regards to vocal placement and even helped me add a part in french that he was good at and im not because i wanted to add it to my song. Thas whas up dude Promote Hunter read more

If I could give this place 1000 stars, I would. I became familiar with this studio during backup vocal sessions for Tony Alonso. After a few sessions, I got to know Tom (GRAMMY AWARD WINNER) and all the other engineers and decided to come to Studio City Sound to record my own music. I have never been let down! Tom is extremely talented and knows what he's doing. But what really sets him aside from other studios and and engineers is his genuine honesty and kindness. Don't be fooled by his jokes and goofiness! Tom is the real deal and will not let you down! Love this studio. If you want a sample of work, check out my music video. Link below. Love these guys! I will never go anywhere else!!! Ps. Ask him to make you his Tumi Tea. The perfect cure for any sickness!!!! http://youtu.be/AHNs6SIXN18 read more

Studio City Sound - Tom at work on my track! - Recording & Rehearsal Studios Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After driving past this studio for years I decided to take a chance and record a project here. Why I waited all this time I have no idea. The studio has that unique lived in, made-for-hits vibe. A beautiful old Neve desk and perfect room acoustics for drums. All the vintage instruments you could need, along with a super cool owner/engineer with Tom Weir and, honestly, you can't go wrong. I can't wait to get back there with something new to record. read more

Great studio! Had the honor of working with the amazing engineer and owner Tom Weir. Drum room is perfectly acoustically treated. He made my 1983 Gretsch sound like cannons. All his other staff and engineers are very knowledgeable and helpful! read more

Went in for a quick 3 hour session and was greeted so kindly by team members. Studio was in great condition and streamlined for workflow. Energy and atmosphere was awesome. 10/10 Would recommend read more

Simply the best. Everything you could possibly need in a studio is right here with the best staff around. For me, Jeff Ryon is a saint and I never want to do a session without him. But Studio City Sound's secret weapon is Mama Weir. I am blessed to know her. read more

Ask for Mixer, Andrew Schwartz, he's got an incredible ear and gives great direction. He has a highly evolved ear and a great taste for the right touch of reverb. I can't speak more highly of this studio, and is easily my favorite place in Los Angeles. Richard Hagerty read more

There are many reasons I love this place. I met the folks at Studio City Sound when they invited me to play on their live-broadcast SCAMfest, an ambitious streaming 3 day festival which - in addition to showcasing bands and singer-songwriters of many styles in the Los Angeles area - showed off the formidable tools they're wielding over there on Whitsett. High definition cameras and the wherewithal not only to stream a multi-camera edit to the web, but also with excellent sound matched up. The combo of HD and multiple camera angles plus studio-quality sound makes the possibilities already desirable and limitless. (Desirable and limitless!) Tom Weir is the ears and heart at the center of the studio. They have a large cast of interns clearly inspired by him in their eagerness and devotion and he is able to check in on the many studios to make sure things are going well while usually employed in one of the studios with his current project. While I wouldn't love SCS and keep coming back if they didn't do excellent work, the undeniable reason they put me over the edge of mere appreciation is that the entire studio is a family affair. Tom's sister Estelle is often running things with a smile in the office. Tom's nephew Chris is put to work operating a camera, making the lighting right or any number of jobs and more family ties abound. Mama Weir, a pianist, is clearly inspiration for the family. Speaking of the piano: I usually use the large studio in the back, due to there being a beautiful grand piano back there. More often than not I don't like how pianos are recorded or amplified. It's oddly difficult to capture the sound. Nevertheless, I always love the sound they get from this piano. I also come in to record vocals for various projects in the second big studio (I never remember the letters of the studios). I love the vibe of this room (especially since they put some effort into it in the past year) and am always happy with the sound I get in my headphones while recording. Tom's usually at the helm on the projects I come in for here. There are also 2 smaller studios, usually occupied by widely varied projects from internet-streaming experimental duos to hip hop acts. So yeah, I am a fan of Studio City Sound. You can trust them. Finally, here's footage of that first day I met these fine folks with my band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ3rSpnZAuc read more

Not even the crazy parking situation would stop me from giving this studio 5 stars. Every one was so nice and super professional. Just wish that I have better skill to match their amazing equipment. read more

Hi! I have been recording with Tom Weir for over 17 years. His lightning speed on pro tools, amazing tones, and positive attitude (never seen the guy get mad) are the reasons I keep coming back! I am always quick and confident to refer all my friends that need any recording done to Tom Weir and his incredibly helpful staff at Studio City Sound! read more

Tom Weir is one of the most musical and creative engineers I've worked with. He recently mixed an album for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team is great to work with and the equipment compliment (including a vintage Neve 8068) is outstanding. Thanks to everyone at Studio City Sound! read more

Tom Weir is not only a great engineer, he's a great drummer and a super easy person to work with. A complete out-of-the box thinker along with all the technical skills and a lifetime of being in the recording business, he has everything you need to make your record great...especially his roster of amazing musicians who wouldn't even pick up the phone for anyone but him. With the downfall of the recording industry, now many studios are stretched a mile wide and an inch deep, but Tom's quaint studio next to an old car repair shop has remained successful, often surpassing the big studios with the latest software, vintage and modern gear, work ethic, and knowledge. It's like the best kept secret for musicians in LA. Loyal, professional, and to-the-point, Tom Weir's studio brings together the past and future of music. Loaded with timeless gear and talented musicians it encourages a Do-It-Yourself attitude artists have to have in today's world. If you want to talk the talk, go somewhere else. But you want to walk the walk, go to Studio City Sound. Come hell or high water in the three years I've been recording with Tom, he has never been late and works like a dog on every project. I love the classic-Hollywood-blue-collar feel of this place, and I highly recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPl8AA1bw04 read more
