A Recording Studio

A Place For New Artists

The Sound Palace is truly a multi-purpose recording and mixing studio.

It is, first and foremost, a recording studio offering 48 sound-source  inputs and equipped with high-end microphones,  some of the finest preamps and outboard processors available, and dual 192kHz converters into Pro Tools HD9.  It boasts a professionally tuned control room for critical listening that also accommodates post-production in 5.1 Surround Sound.

However it is also a producer studio and can serve as the launching point for new talent.

Through a partnership with studios in the Los Angeles area, The Sound Palace can provide the opportunity to work with Grammy-winning  producers to hone songwriting and musicianship. When uniquely talented artists are “discovered” by The Sound Palace, we can offer the opportunity (with no out-of-pocket expenses) to  regularly work with these producers to develop your song ideas and bring your music to market through existing contacts with major labels.

 

The Studio Described

The Sound Palace  is deceptive in appearance. With 335 sq. ft of floor space, the studio was constructed in a residential neighborhood with 2-foot thick walls and the same sound insulation used for indoor firing ranges.  Unlike many producer studios, no existing space was needed for  “conversion” to studio use.  Rather, the detached structure was conceived, designed and constructed from the ground up to be used exclusively as a recording studio.

Once inside, ambient mood lighting reveals warm rooms surrounded by a balance of fresh pine boards and soft wall surfaces. Day and night become indistinguishable in this hidden oasis located in the beautiful suburbs of Thousand Oaks. The studio’s tracking room comfortably accommodates a 5 piece band including a drum kit. In addition to musicians, The Sound Palace has hosted a wide range of recording talent from commercial voice-overs, to actors recording audiobooks, to voice talent for animated programs.

New and seasoned artists often note the low-stress atmosphere present throughout the recording process. Sessions proceed at the artist’s pace without a lot of clock-watching. Our talented staff is there to support the artist and even provide creative ideas upon request.

Stepping back into the outside world after a session is often like leaving after a quiet movie only to be shocked back into the reality of bustling life. And we are in Thousand Oaks, not Los Angeles. This sometimes leaves  artists yearning for a quick return to the serenity of The Sound Palace.

We like that.
