The Recording Club

The Recording Club is a members’ club in Santa Monica that pairs four recording, rehearsal and podcast studios with co-working space, a lounge and a wellness floor. It grew out of Tiny Room Studios, founded by pianist Greg Spero, and calls itself a luxury creative space membership club. Members book the rooms against monthly studio credits, and staff prepare each room before a session begins.

Studios

• Live Room: a 25 by 45 foot stage with truss lighting, a pro PA with wireless in-ears, full backline and a five-camera 6K capture rig, used for everything from solo piano to full tour rehearsals.
• Mixing Room: a 40-channel Trident 88 inline analog console, Ocean Way mains, Antelope nearfields and a wall of tube outboard, behind glass at the end of the Live Room and booked with it.
• Recording Room: full backline, an isolated vocal booth, a studio computer with every major DAW, a grand piano and up to three cameras.
• Rehearsal Room: built for full bands, with a PA, in-ears for eight, five synced cameras, an amp closet, a vocal booth, PMC monitoring and a Trinnov Nova.
• Podcast Room: four cameras and a sixteen-channel desk in a room designed to be run by its hosts; seats two, or four on request.

Gear across the building includes a Coles 4038, a Neumann U87 Ai, two Yamaha grands, a Fender Rhodes, a Moog, PMC monitoring and Blackmagic 6K cameras.

Membership

Membership tiers return monthly studio credits that roll over, and every tier includes the lounge, mezzanine, kitchen, gym and patio, a sauna and cold plunge, small-group training with the house trainer three times a day, weekly member evenings and the club app for booking rooms. Engineers and add-ons are billed separately. To join, prospective members inquire or book a 30-minute tour; applications are reviewed monthly and membership is extended by invitation.

Private hire

The studios, lounges and stage are also available for half-day and full-day buyouts, activations and events, with house engineers and A/V crew, catering and bar, and multi-camera capture and streaming. Parking is on site.

Hours

Rooms are booked in two-hour minimums. The club is open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to midnight and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m., and closed Mondays.
