Los Angeles and the Southern California region is a thriving hub for recording artists and musicians from all over the world.Having a recording studio in the home is a must for the singer/musician.No wonder some of the top remodeling companies in this area also deal in the design and construction of recording studios.And with today’s busy lifestyles, getting experts to both remodel the home and install a turnkey studio (one with everything set up ready to go, even equipment) saves a huge amount of time and hassle.

If you are planning on a new recording studio or remodeling your existing recording studio it is best to design and develop a plan that will accommodate your new, future and existing gear.

Video monitors are a big part of the design and layout not to mention reference monitors and desk space to accommodate these. Proper wire chassis and gutter systems that make easy access for cabling from control room to ISO booths to live rooms is essential.
