About Black Lotus
Black Lotus, founded by four dedicated music school graduates and session musicians, addresses a common problem: the need for a quickly accessible studio.
The time-consuming art of arranging and miking drums, warming up tube amps, laying XLR cables, and patching it all to the control room can cut into precious session time. This is particularly true for large rock or jam bands with 4 or more members.
Black Lotus aims to provide an always-ready studio for immediate recording when creativity hits, with drums, guitars, pianos, and other equipment prepared at the start of every session. Show up and hit record.

- Studio B: $30 per hour, or $200 for a full day (10 hours)
- Engineer: $30 per hour

Studios
Black Lotus in NoHo features two recording studios with a third on the way.
Studio A is equipped with drums, pianos, keys, and guitar rigs, all set for immediate use. These connect to a spacious control room featuring a 24-channel board and a couch for writing and listening, ensuring comfortable producing and mixing sessions.
Your sound can be colored by Neve and AudioScape compressors.
Studio B serves mainly as a vocal tracking and production studio, equipped with a compact vocal room and microphone. With an Apollo Twin setup, you can great release-ready vocals within minutes after arriving.
Session Musicians
Behind the scenes at Black Lotus are world-class session musicians who have worked on dozens of rock, pop, and electronic projects. Bring in guitar players, drummers, or producers who can help arrange and dial in a track from demo to release.
Black Lotus’ Berklee and MI graduates can sit in on sessions, provide creative input, and nail their parts quickly so you can maximize your studio time.
