1. An authentic Manhattan recording studio to rent: Cutting Room Studios
East Village, New York
In 1995, Berklee dropout David Crafa started Cutting Room Studios with his friends while at NYU – today, their credits include Lana Del Rey, H.E.R., Depeche Mode, and Future. Their growth could be attributed to their authenticity, wide range of equipment, or their top-dog engineers: a recipe for success.
The studios are available to rent for solo vocalists and bands alike, with a selection of musical instruments like Fender guitars and a Yamaha grand piano. The software includes a 32 Channel Solid State Logic Origin Console and ProTools 11/12 HDX. Late-night sessions have customizable hue lighting, and daytime ones offer an inspiring urban view. Maximum capacity is 15 at a time, allowing for an inspiring, creative session for writing, recording, or producing.
