Is it just me or are mixing boards so cool? I had the opportunity to spend the day at the Record Plant recording studio in Hollywood on Sunday. The history of this place will blow your mind. I was there to cover a session with LL COOL J and a musician named Def K who had won a contest that my company helped sponsor.
I had never been in a recording studio, its a pretty interesting place. While I was there both will.i.am and Avril Lavigne were in other studios down the hall, although I never ran into them.
For me I loved the rooms which were way cool.
How about you? Have you ever been in a recording studio? What was your experience like?
I don’t think they’re cool at all, but my husband used to deejay and he does.
Well, mixing boards might not be cool, but LL COOL J sure the heck is! Oh my gosh, he was like my first real man crush (my first crush was Michael Jackson, but he, um, wasn’t a REAL man)! Ladies love him and I am so jealous!
I remember as a kid/teen I really wanted to work in the music industry; I’m not sure why that passion faded (and turned into film), but I still think recording studios hold a kind of coolness. This is a great picture! I had an internship in college with a small commercial production company and I remember one week there were rumors that Sheryl Crow was in the room next to us recording an album. I never saw her, but it was neat to think she was so close!
Yeah, just you…to many knobs to hurt myself on.
@Erin, I am around these things all the time but don’t have a clue how to work one!
THEY ARE COOL. Oh my word. Its just such a beautiful tool, for making beauty and things that touch people.
Or just a serious awesome tool used to get dancing. Whateves.
I was to LA once. Beautiful place!!
