Overnight Recording Studio in LA
Right now, your best ideas arrive at midnight and nowhere is open. You track vocals in your bedroom with a laptop and a borrowed mic, then spend the next day fighting thin sound and street noise you cannot edit out. Daytime studios are booked or out of your budget, and the ones that are open charge a premium the moment the sun goes down. So the song sits unfinished, again.
Now picture the opposite. It is 1am and you are the only person in a treated, soundproofed room in Los Angeles. The vocal chain is warm, the monitors are honest, and you have the whole night to chase the take until it is right. No rush, no daytime crowd, no daytime price. When the sun comes up you walk out with real recordings instead of a rough phone memo. That is what an overnight session at UNION Recording Studio is built to be.
The cheapest overnight studio rate in LA: $13 per hour
Here is how UNION bridges the gap. Our Night Lockout runs from midnight to 9am, and during those hours COSMO and BLK MAZE rent for just $13 per hour. LEGACY, our largest room, runs $15 per hour overnight. That is a rate no other professional room in Los Angeles matches, and it exists for one reason: late-night hours should be the affordable way in for artists who work when the city sleeps.
Prefer to lock the whole night? The overnight block gives you nine hours, midnight to 9am, for $117 Monday through Wednesday, which pencils out to about $13 an hour for an entire night in the room. Thursday through Sunday the same nine-hour block is $144. Either way you get a private, professional space for the length of your session, with a three-hour minimum if you just need a couple of hours.
A real room, run your way, all night
BLK MAZE
Geometric LED design and a green-screen vocal booth. Great for artists who film late-night sessions. Up to 4 people.
COSMO
Space-themed murals and neon artwork, one of the most distinctive rooms in LA. Up to 4 people.
Every overnight room comes with acoustically treated walls, a soundproofed booth, and industry-standard mics and monitoring. You can run the session entirely on your own, bring your own engineer, or add a Reboost Engineer for $25 per hour if you want a hand at 3am. Nothing is required. If you are new to recording, that is fine too. No experience needed, and the team will get you set up before your first take.
Built for the way you actually work
UNION is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so the door is never the thing standing between you and the take. Same-day overnight sessions are available, subject to availability. We are at 5458 Santa Monica Blvd in East Hollywood, and for late nights after 10pm, street parking on Oxford Ave is the easy option. If you record often, our prepaid time packages stretch your budget even further, down to as low as $25 per hour across all hours.
