🟢 FAQs
How do I find a rehearsal space in Los Angeles?
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.
Use sites like Peerspace 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?
Hourly rates range from $20-30 for basic spaces to $50 for premium options. All-day rentals cost around $200.
Monthly lockouts typically run $2,500-$3,000.
For comparison, ADR and voiceover studios can exceed $300/hour, recording studios average $50/hour, and podcast studios are about $100/hour.
Are there cancellation fees for rehearsal studios?
Some LA rehearsal studios charge cancellation fees. Online-bookable studios like Pirate Studios often require 4 hours' notice to avoid penalties. Canceling within 48 hours may result in studio credit refunds, while earlier cancellations might offer cash refunds.
Many LA rehearsal studios allow same-day, in-person bookings without advance reservations, eliminating the need for cancellation policies. Examples include Amp Studios and Summit Studios.
What’s the difference between rehearsal spaces and recording studios?
Rehearsal spaces are for practicing and rehearsing music. They typically offer soundproofing and basic equipment like amps, drums, speakers, and monitors for live show mix adjustments. These facilities usually have multiple adjacent rooms and are noisier and more basic than recording studios.
Recording studios, in contrast, are for professional-quality song recording, often with an engineer or producer. They feature superior equipment and technology, including high-end microphones, guitars, and soundproofing. Many production schools and colleges in Los Angeles have on-campus recording studios for student use.
The key difference: rehearsal studios simulate stage performance, while recording studios focus on creating polished recordings with top-notch equipment and acoustics.
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.
If you're a pop artist trying to rehearse some dance moves too, consider a dedicated dance studio or a rehearsal room with enough space to move your legs.
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 can’t 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. You’ll 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 isn’t very common.
Most rehearsal spaces don’t offer recording services of any kind. If you want to record in a rehearsal room, you’ll 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. It’s not uncommon to not be able to cancel within 24 hours of the start time.
