32 best recording studios in Los Angeles (for every budget)

Calling itself “the world’s premier recording facility,” EastWest Studios has a rich history few can match, as the site of such classics as the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds,” Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and Frank and Nancy Sinatra’s hit “Something Stupid.” Of the two main live rooms, Studio One is the largest, connected to an 80-channel Neve 8078 console and has room for a 70-piece orchestra. Studio Two is nearly as spacious, with a 40-channel Neve RCA custom 8028 console. Both have grand pianos onsite. While its former sister studio next door, United Recording, ceased day-to-day operations in April, EastWest remains an especially facility for popular-music-making, with elegant private lounges, concierge services and an unsurpassed collection of new and vintage gear.
