How much does it cost to rent a recording studio in Los Angeles
Costs vary depending on the studio, but hourly rental rates typically start at around $40 an hour, with monthly rentals starting around $2,000.
What should I bring to the recording studio?
You shouldn’t need to bring anything besides your laptop or computer to a recording studio. Almost all studios have all the necessary gear you’ll need to record your song if you’ve checked their gear list beforehand.
You must bring those if you want to record your guitar or instruments. You should also bring any reference material you plan to use during your session, such as song lyrics and chord charts for other musicians.
As an aside, most podcast studio rentals in Los Angeles have equipment you can use already set up.
What should I look for in a recording studio?
There are fancy studios with vocal booths, drums rooms, and a wall of synthesizers and outboard gear. There are also small studios where it’s just a set of speakers, a microphone, and a USB recording interface.
Make sure your studio is equipped to handle the type of project you want to record.
Do you just want to record vocals? A cheaper studio might be able to handle it.
But if you want to record guitars through some loud amps, you’ll need to check that the studio has the gear you need.

Do recording studios in Los Angeles offer discounts or promotions?
Generally, no. Most studios are privately owned local businesses. However, you can negotiate better deals if you book many hours at a time or for a full day.
Some of the bigger companies operating studios around town, like Peerspace and Pirate, do have discounts and promo codes, though.
How do I have a great recording session?
Preparation is key before recording. Familiarize yourself with your songs beforehand to save time. Ensure your equipment is in good condition, bring a backup instrument, and replace amp tubes and strings at least a week before recording.
Focus on your performance and how it relates to the song's message. Communicate your preferences to the recording engineer.
Record live with a band to capture the energy of the performance. Use a guide vocal as a reference point throughout the session.
