Recording Studio in Hollywood
You can record in Hollywood without paying Hollywood prices. UNION Recording Studio sits right on Santa Monica Blvd in East Hollywood, minutes from Thai Town, Los Feliz, and the neighborhood's music scene, with private rooms starting at $13 per hour and doors open 24 hours a day. It is a real Hollywood address at a rate a first-time artist can actually afford.
Why artists choose a Hollywood studio at 5458 Santa Monica Blvd
Hollywood has always been where artists come to be taken seriously. Recording here puts you in the same corner of Los Angeles as the labels, the venues, and the people who move music forward. We want to be clear about where we are: UNION is in East Hollywood, on Santa Monica Blvd at 90029, not West Hollywood and not a tourist address on the Boulevard. That honesty is part of why our clients trust us. What you get is a genuine, central Hollywood-area location that is easy to reach from Silver Lake, Koreatown, Downtown, and the Valley.
Rated 4.8 stars across more than 200 reviews, UNION has become a home base for independent artists who want a professional room without the intimidation or the markup. Whether it is your first time in a booth or your fiftieth session, the team treats you the same: warm, patient, and focused on getting your sound right.
Three rooms, one honest price list
UNION runs three private rooms in its Hollywood location. COSMO wraps you in space-themed murals and neon artwork and holds up to 4 people. BLK MAZE brings a geometric LED look plus a green-screen vocal booth for artists who film their sessions, also up to 4 people. LEGACY is the largest room, seating up to 6 and made for bigger step-up sessions.
Daytime rooms start at $35 per hour and overnight rooms start at $13 per hour, with a three-hour minimum. You can run the session yourself, bring your own engineer, or add a Reboost Engineer for $25/hr or an Advanced Engineer for $30/hr. Nothing is mandatory. If you plan to record often, our prepaid time packages drop the hourly rate to as low as $25 and can save you up to $525.
Record, mix, and master in one place
A Hollywood session at UNION is more than a room and a mic. You can track your vocals, build out a full song, and then have it mixed and mastered by an engineer who knows the room, all under one roof. For first-timers, that means you do not have to shop your project around town to finish it. For working artists, it means faster turnarounds and a consistent sound from one session to the next. Bring a rough idea and leave with something you are proud to release.
Everything within reach of the studio
Getting here is simple. Public parking is available at 1075 N Western Ave, and a private lot at 1110 N Western Ave charges $5 for up to four hours ($10 for longer, open 8am to 10pm). Street and metered parking runs along Oxford Ave, and after 10pm street parking covers late nights. Once you arrive, our engineers and staff are ready to help you make the most of your session.
