I live in Sherman Oaks, CA and on Ventura Blvd, in an alley there is a small, yellow place that looks like a low-middle class house. I have been living close to it for the last 15 years. But now I found out that it is a MAJOR recording studio. Lots of famous people recorded. I Know of one, I forgot her name but she was the one who recorded "Smooth Operator". This studio is less than a mile from Record One. Does anyone know the name of this studio. There is only one door and an address. Know name. Thanks alot.
 
I know the name of the 'smooth operator'

Alex, for $500. Who is.. Sade.
 
Put in the address in one of those cross-referece internet search-engines....just go to www.metacrawler.com and put in find business by address and you should come up with a few sites that will help you....

Alex, Ill take Members whove never learned how to use a telephone book or search engine for $200.....
 
go there, knock on the door, and ask them --- they don't bite :)
There's a couple of good studios aroung there.

Eh It can't have been Sade's Smooth Operator, that was recorded at the Powerplant in London

I am to afraid to knock. I don't want them to be disturbed in the middle of a recording session and have to talk to a curious little 15 year old. Also Shade might of recorded in this studio, but it was very recent, so I know it couldn't be smooth operator. More ideas anyone?
 
Go knock, when they answer tell them that you will wrap cables, make coffee, sweep up, empty ashtrays and basically be a Gopher if they will please, please, please let you sit quietly and watch some sessions. Might be the beginning of something great.
 
kik - if a 15 year old knocks on my studio door because he / she is really interested in recording, I'd open the door and say welcome. If I was in a session and the artist in particular doesn't want anyone there, I'd say come back another day. Has happened, will happen again.
I know the majority of my collegues would feel exactly the same, so go and knock.
And if you ever travel about 1 1/2 hours up north, you can come and knock here as well.
