THE CUTEST LOS ANGELES RECORDING STUDIO?

A boutique recording studio nestled between Downtown Los Angeles and the vibrant Koreatown neighborhood. Perfect for low key, intimate, affordable recordings, but not afraid to crank the pots either... 

the unique space offers warm sound and intimate recording

ABOUT THAT LITTLE STUDIO

Being an artist is awesome. The passion and creative energy you possess is a unique and beautiful thing. Your records should match that. This is where I come in. I want you to have the record you heard in your head when the song idea first came to you, but more, I want it to be better than that. 

​

I used to be in a band, and so I know that not every record you make turns 

out as you might have hoped. Luckily, having had my fair share of duds I'm pretty aware of why they happen. Since turning to the other (dark) side of the mixing desk 10 years ago I've been on a daily quest to make the records I produce sound better every time. 

​

It's pretty tough to get a foothold in this industry, you might have noticed that I'm not currently headlining Glastonbury, but it all starts with a great record. One that you love to listen to so much that you're embarrassed about how often you put it on - I've had them too and they feel great, don't they?

​

If you want to turn your song into a great record that you can share with absolute confidence, get in touch and lets talk about how that works. 

​

I can't wait to hear you.

About our little recording studio

That Little Studio's Owner-Operator Phil Surtees first started recording music with Camden Town punk ska outfit The Bad Robots. Following a brief stint of notoriety they hung up their skank and became indie-electro veterans Dead On TV. Following Phil's move to America in 2014 he has been producing music (his and other people's) pretty much consistently for the last decade.

"It's my favorite thing, to get a good song and record it for ever, knowing that it sounds f*cking great"

Our recording studio services

Recording

We record on Pro Tools using Shure, Rode, AT, Telefunken, Audix and Neumann mics (at the time of writing!). Live or tracked (or a combo) supported and creativity encouraged!

Mixing

We mix according to your preferences and the techniques that best suit your recordings. We'll take 3 rounds of alterations and provide you with a 'studio master' (a mix run through our in-house bus chain to make it loudness competitive for Spotify etc). We'll also deal directly with your mastering engineer and provide alternate mixes if necessary.
