Technical Tour TT5

TT5 - East West Studios
Abstract:
From Frank Sinatra to the Rolling Stones, this iconic studio has produced more Grammy-winning albums than any other studio in the world and won numerous technical excellence awards. Previously known as Western Studios, the five-studio complex has been updated with 21st century technology, while preserving the integrity of the live recording rooms legendary engineer Bill Putnam created in 1961. Studio 1 features an 80 channel Neve 8078 console which was originally commissioned for Michael Jackson's best-selling album, Thriller and later used for U2's Rattle and Hum. The lounges were remodeled before the 2009 reopening, offering a full range of amenities and VIP services to facilitate the creative process, and a complete renovation of Studio 5 was completed in 2014.
