The Studio
Book Paradise Recording in its entirety — the Rainforest vocal room, the Rock live room, the control room, and the lounge. One session, the whole place.
the walkthrough
See the whole place in 16 seconds.
Walk in through the lounge, into the plant-filled Rainforest Room, and on to the Rock Room with the kit and the baby grand already set up. Every recording session gets all of it — no other client is in the building while you’re here. Tap the speaker to hear the room.
Free, 15 minutes, you pick the time. A $25 deposit holds the slot and comes back when you show up.
the studio
One booking. The whole place.
Every recording session gets all of Paradise. Track vocals in the plant-filled Rainforest Room, cut drums and a full band in the Rock Room with its 1917 Chickering baby grand and tuned Mapex kit, and mix on Focal Twin6 monitors through API, Neve and Tube-Tech outboard. No other client is in the building while you're here.
Rainforest Room
A lush, plant-filled vocal room with treated walls and a warm signal chain that flatters everything from belt-to-the-rafters pop to hushed late-night raps.
Rock Room
The band room — a 1917 Chickering baby grand, a Mapex kit that stays set up and mic'd, and a guitar amp and bass amp ready to plug into. Bring your own instruments.

Quick questions.
- Do I get both rooms?
- On a recording booking, yes — the Rainforest Room, the Rock Room, the control room and the lounge, whether it's a session with our engineer or Rent the Room. A rehearsal is the Rock Room and the lounge only. Nobody else is in the building during your time.
- Can I bring my own engineer?
- Yes — pick “Rent the Room” when you book and the studio is yours at a flat hourly rate with no staff engineer on the clock. Our engineer is included in the standard session price.
- Can my whole band fit?
- Yes — the Rock Room comfortably holds a four-to-five piece with isolation, and the Rainforest Room is right there for vocals. Bigger? Email us first.
- Is the piano in tune?
- Tuned monthly by a professional. Let us know when you book if you need a fresh tune before your session.
- Can I just rehearse here?
- Yes — book a Rehearsal and you get the Rock Room and the lounge with the full backline, no recording engineer, at our lowest hourly rate. The Rainforest Room and the recording gear stay locked.
