About the Space
Constructed in 1977 as part of a major recording facility, this large room was designed for great sound, with ceilings over 20 feet and a distinctly vintage feel. Ideal for music rehearsals, video shoots, casual jams, special media events, theme parties, exclusive fundraising events or even intimate concerts, everything simply sounds wonderful in this space. You'll also find vintage instruments such as: • A few dozen guitar instruments and amps • 1928 Steinway concert grand piano • Authentic Hammond B3 organ, • Electric pianos • Drum kits *Professional musicians, sound and recording services available upon request. We can also arrange catering and other amenities as needed.
Parking options
Parking description
There are a dozen parking spaces outside the building. We will be awaiting your arrival and provide phone contact to make sure you arrive smoothly.
Space does not have natural light
Lighting description
We have 18 professional LED lamps, some bicolor and some full LED, available for your use via remote control. Most of them are wall-mounted, all with full pivoting and several on swing arms, and a few additional lamps are available to be placed on stands around the set as you see fit. There are no windows. We also have some torchiere style floor lamps for mood and overhead track lighting. It's basically a vintage recording studio with TV studio lighting built-in.
Space is soundproof
Ambient noise description
This is a purpose-built recording studio with outstanding isolation from every type of outside noise. It's also just a great-sounding room!
Crew access
Stairs, Ground Floor
Equipment loading description
Most equipment is loaded in through the front door, up six steps. However for special requirements we do have a truck-height loading dock in the back of the main space.
Staging area is available
Depending on needs, we can reserve up to three other small studio spaces for your shoot.
Some rooms are off-limits for shooting
The building is a multi-room facility, so other studio spaces would need to be booked separately. This booking is for the main large recording space plus three isolation booths within it. We don't mind if you want to pick up a couple shots in the building foyer, break room, etc.
Shooting the exterior of the building is allowed
Electrical system description
We will have a site supervisor to deal with flipping circuits if needed. Our building has four separate electrical hookups to the street, so power is isolated in different sections of the building. We have at least 20 standard outlets in the main space.
Circuit breaker can not be accessed
