Book a Day.
Let's make something.
A boutique recording room in Glassell Park. Tape machines, real amps, engineers who always know where everything is and how the room works best. Come in the morning, leave with something finished, or settle in for a long term project.

01 — The Rooms
Two rooms, one block apart
Balboa Recording Studio is the big room — comfortably sized live room, iso booth, loaded control room. Balboa Bungalow, a block away, is the intimate writing studio: lower rate, still a full tracking setup. Everything is patched and ready before you get here.
