My favorite place to record in the LA area. David is a treasure. So great to work with, and his…read morespace is stellar. Amazing microphones and a nice grand piano.

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.

Marcel is very flexible with scheduling. At the start of my sessions he assisted with setup and answered any questions I had before leaving my engineer and I alone to dive into our work. He still was accessible should we have needed him during a session. The studio is in a quiet location with a focused yet intimate feel to it. Very easy for session guest and local catering to find if in the middle of a session. I had a great experience working on my music album at Eagle Rock and am happy to recommend the studio to others. Thank you Marcel!! -Keven Porter Jr

I hardly have anything nice to say about anything.. you know me, I'm a prick…read more But if you are in a band you need to know about this place. I am a professional musician, and I have recorded all over LA. And I can say this is the BEST place to record. The production team is second to NONE, the facilities are FANTASTIC, they literally have EVERYTHING you can ever want, and your recording will sound BETTER than you expected. Bonus: Hefe Weizen on tap in the lounge, and a 52" plasma with xbox 360 with GUITAR HERO II!!!!!!! Oh, bitches... this place rules... I thought you knew.

I thought it would be intimidating because I don't know anything about recording, but Elliot was so graciously patient and encouraging to help me get everything sounding exactly right.

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...
