James Gyerman 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
James Gyerman came up the way many of the best engineers do, starting as an intern and runner in Los Angeles studios and learning every room from the ground up. That path is exactly why he is so easy to work with today, whether you are cutting your first vocal or your fiftieth.
A Los Angeles audio engineer and music producer, James trained at Icon Collective in Burbank before building a resume that includes Grammy-nominated artists and producers such as Gallant, Hit-Boy, and Goldlink, along with a 4x-platinum record in Calboy's "Envy Me." He works mostly in hip-hop, pop, R&B, and rap, and he brings that same studio experience to every UNION session.
You will often catch James tracking and mixing in LEGACY or COSMO, guiding artists of every style and level toward the full potential of their idea. He keeps the pressure low and the momentum high, so a session feels less like a test and more like making music with someone in your corner.
