I was around The Village a lot back when it opened since I lived in the area and was into playing and later recording myself. Her history of the early rooms doesn't match what I remember from back then. What was studio B was the first room open and friends of mine recorded there. Studio A was still being built and I remember because they showed me the space between A and B and all they were having to do to isolate the rooms from each other. Later when I hung out at the Village so much many thought I worked there I remember a small studio C upstairs that was for overdubs, voice overs, mixing. From other video I've seen what was studio B in early days is gone appears it is part of other things now like the walkway from old studio reception over to studio D. A buddy of my has had one of the private rooms at the Village for years now. A lot of history happened at the Village over the years glad I got to experience a lot of the early days.

My favorite LA studio! I remember hanging out there back when I wrote for Mix and checking out the Fleetwood Mac "Tusk" studio with its indoor gazebos, Robbie Robertson's personal writing studio, and the other spaces in that historic building. Shelly Yakus was there working on a Stevie Nicks album at the time. Memories!

One day I’ll be there! I think that I might be there in 2024 for my 2 record! I’ll be doing everything independently for my first record.

Thank you for this comprehensive walk-through of such a historically significant recording studio...they'll never build em' like that again! Amazing!

Tina Morris seems super chill and knoweldgeable. I've seen her in other looks at the studio.

That is really cool thanks for sharing.

Thanks for these little tours!!! Really appreciate the history of this studio!!

I love Sweetwater! These videos are always incredible!

these studio tours are great... hope to see more..

Awesome.

Great show Mitch G.

Fantastic! And they're also using Kali Audio speakers for the Atmos room! I love my LP 6s!

Awesome! 😀

Those ATC's so near off the edge make me SO nervous...!!

Insightful

Ahh… one of my Alma Maters 😁

What can you tell us about min: 15:31? Virgen María and sketches of La Parca are in the background. (Not that I don't like those details, just curious). ✨✨✌✌Overall, great work, Sweetwater! 🙌

Was it home to Arianna Grande's video of Almost is never enough ? Unsure.

0:38 Old masonic temple...

Joe's garage looks Sus 😳

The manager says “Thank you” to all the compliments about the build and sound. I’m guessing she helped build it or they were her ideas?

Can I buy the village with 6000 easy payments?

Shes wrong about some of the facts, I worked there on 72-74..studio A was where cant buy a thrill was reordered, steely dan..not ajia. Boy howdy. The studio sure has changed.

Not to disparage your competition, but a "billion dollar" enterprise that rhymes with Sitar Bender has next to no interesting content, while Sweetwater genuinely seems to want to educate and inspire as well as, ya know, just make a fast buck. Awesome business practices, sort of like the local music store with a bigger budget.
