Gabriel Russell Sound Engineer
At UNION, you book a room and we send an engineer who knows what they're doing. You don't need to have engineered before. You don't need to bring anyone. We've recorded artists on their first studio session and artists with ten releases; the engineer adjusts to where you're at and gets you sounding professional.
Three rooms (COSMO, BLK MAZE, LEGACY) and engineering staff trained on every genre, available 24 hours a day.
What you get: Tracking sessions (Neumann TLM 103, Universal Audio Apollo, Yamaha HS7 monitors); mixing and mastering ready for Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud distribution; self-directed sessions if you bring your own engineer.
Engineering tiers: Reboost Engineer $25/hr for first sessions, beginners, tracking-only, walks you through it. Advanced Engineer $30/hr for experienced artists, mixing-focused sessions, more genre-specific expertise. Engineer rate is on top of room rental rate.
Room rates: COSMO and BLK MAZE: $13/hr overnight (12am-9am), $29/hr daytime. LEGACY: $17/hr overnight, $35/hr daytime. Same rates apply for self-directed bookings.
DAWs supported: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio. WAV stems delivered after every session.
UNION Recording Studio is built for artists who want professional results without professional-tier pricing. Three acoustically designed rooms (COSMO, BLK MAZE, LEGACY), Universal Audio interfaces, Neumann microphones, and a 24/7 schedule. Overnight rates start at $13/hr, among the most affordable in Los Angeles for a fully-staffed studio.
Engineering services include music recording, mixing, mastering, studio rental, and on-site photo and video production. No experience required. Reboost engineers are trained to support first-time bookings. New to recording? Mention it when you book; we'll match you with the right person for your project.

Advanced Engineer
Gabriel Russell, known to most artists simply as Gabe, is the kind of engineer who makes you feel like your song already matters. He grew up in Arlington, Virginia with music in his ear from an early age, and he turned that love into a career after earning his Audio Production degree from Full Sail University.
A few years in Atlanta sharpened his craft, where he recorded and mixed for artists like 2 Chainz, Rae Sremmurd, and Omeretta among many others. Gabe is now based in Los Angeles, working across every genre without ever making a newer artist feel out of place.
At UNION Recording Studio you will find him in LEGACY or BLK MAZE, encouraging and guiding musicians toward records built to last. Whether it is your first booking or your next release, Gabe brings patience, warmth, and a real ear for timeless sound to every session.

This is a great studio! I’ve been 2 times with friends who are new to the studio environment and both engineers we’ve had were very accommodating and fun to work with, shoutout Chris and Gabe! The studio itself is super high quality with a great sound and high quality equipment, couldn’t recommend it more
