FAQs About Renting a Rehearsal Studio
How do I find a rehearsal space in Los Angeles?
Youâre reading a great resource already!
But you should check with other musicians who are gigging regularly. Go to shows and ask where other bands like to rehearse. Watch out for flyers in the lobby of other rehearsal spaces or studios.
I also recommend checking out sites like Peerspace. Youâll be able to search dozens of other listings that may not have their own website or booking page.
How much does it cost to rent a rehearsal space in Los Angeles?
Expect to pay around $20-30 per hour for a basic space and $50 per hour for a nicer spot. You can go all day at places for about $200.
Monthly lockouts are about $2,500 to $3,000 per month.
Are there cancellation fees for rehearsal studios?
Some rehearsal studios in Los Angeles charge a cancellation fee. Rehearsal studios that can be booked online, like Pirate Studios, typically require at least 4 hours' notice to avoid a penalty for canceling. If you cancel within 48 hours of the booking date, you can get a full refund as in-studio credit. Canceling with more notice can yield a cash refund.
Most LA rehearsal studios can be booked in-person on the same day and don't require advance booking. This means that they don't have a cancellation policy. Studios like this include Amp Studios and Summit Studios.
Whatâs the difference between rehearsal spaces and recording studios?
Rehearsal spaces are places where you can practice and rehearse. They usually have soundproofing and basic equipment like amps and drums, as well as speakers and monitors for adjusting your live show mix.
Rehearsal facilities usually have several rooms located next to each other. They are usually a bit noisier and more basic than recording studios.
Recording studios are where you can record songs at a professional quality, often with the help of an engineer or producer. Recording studios have better equipment and technology than rehearsal spaces, including nicer microphones, guitars, and soundproofing.
Rehearsal studios aim to make you feel like you're playing on stage. Recording studios aim to make great recordings using high-quality equipment and soundproofing.
What should I consider when choosing a location for my rehearsal space?
Consider the location of the rehearsal space in relation to where band members live, and also the proximity to gig venues. Also, consider the noise level of the area and if the location is safe.
What should I do if the space is too loud?
If the rehearsal space is too noisy, you can ask the landlord or manager of the space if you can add soundproofing panels. If not, you may need to consider finding a different space.
I canât emphasize how important sound panels and soundproofing are to a good long-term rehearsal rental.
Can I rent a rehearsal space for longer than a month?
Yes, some rehearsal spaces offer long-term rentals for several months or up to a year.
This can be a great option if you're planning a long tour or need a consistent space to work.
Typically, contracts for long-term rentals require an annual lease. Youâll unlikely find a month-to-month contract that lets you leave whenever you want.
What equipment is typically provided in a rehearsal space?
Most hourly rehearsal spaces provide basic equipment like drum kits, amps, and PA systems, but it's always a good idea to check with the space before booking to ensure they have everything you need.
Monthly or long-term rentals rarely come with gear.
Most spaces allow you to bring your instruments and equipment.
Are there any rehearsal spaces that offer recording services?
Yes, some rehearsal spaces also offer recording services, either on-site or at a separate location. However, this isnât very common.
Most rehearsal spaces donât offer recording services of any kind. If you want to record in a rehearsal room, youâll need to get creative. Bring your recording interface, microphones, and gear to record.
How do I book a rehearsal space?
Most rehearsal spaces have online booking systems where you can reserve and pay for a room in advance.
Some may require a deposit or a credit card to hold the reservation. Make sure to read the cancellation policy carefully before booking. Itâs not uncommon to not be able to cancel within 24 hours of the start time.
