Wow. As a music professional in Los Angeles, its hard to find a quality, well-crafted studio of high quality that isn't owned by a major label, or impossible to access. I think I've finally found that space for my artists in Truth Studios.
The space that Nick (engineering for SZA, Solange, Rae Khalil, Vic Mensa) has curated is exceptional. Starting with the recording space: you head upstairs and immediately you see some of the best recording equipment there is available in the business. Racks of pianos (including a legendary Hammond I am scared to touch), upright acoustic with some of the best mics attached for a flawless sound, Juno 106, OB-6 and MS200 synths, insulation, isolated recording booth with an iconic Sony C800 mic (usually runs about $7K USED), Telefunken v76 pre amp, and a pair of SICK Augspurger speakers that are actually taller and wider than me and will blow out your eardrums, if you want. As a result, the sound is CRAZY, while the space remains comfortable and cozy. The environment is wildly uplifting, with Nick having a polaroid photo of everyone who has ever worked in the space, including pics of LA favorite Hip Hop legend IllCamille, Little Simz and about 100+ other people. Inspirational recording area that feels easy to create in.
Then we have to talk about the downstairs area. Some of the most legendary art pieces by KAWS and Keith Haring (HE HAS THE HARING CHESS BOARD OMG) are abound, with several posters and RIAA plaques featuring all his work and hits hes recorded. Solid seating and kitchen area, clean bathroom and general space to move to if you need a break from the recording area. Above all else.... location location LOCATION. You need a snack? One of the best and cutest sandwich shops is right next door. Need something more substantial? Erewhon is directly across the street. Need to take a full break and walk around? Its around the corner from the trendiest spaces on Fairfax and Melrose, in a safe and upscale area. Quiet and private, close to great public spaces.
