ReadyMix Music

The coolest recording studio I’ve been in. Almost like a secret lair, every room has its own vibe, & all suuuuper chill & perfect for creating music. Recordist Paul is patient, professional, experienced, & a great dude. HIGHLY recommend.

This studio has the coolest, most relaxed vibe! Paul the engineer is a complete pro! So talented. very easy to work with and listens intently to your concerns. If you need help on arrangements, vocal backgrounds, whatever, Paul’s wife and co owner Sarah is amazing! She made our tunes sound better than I thought they could sound and had great ideas. I felt the rates were very affordable and the owners worked to make us comfortable. What better frame of mind should you be in, when recording? The history of this studio is awesome as well… A fun, creative hang.

There are ALOT of reasons to like this studio. I’ve recorded there on several occasions (most recently yesterday), and each time I come away feeling WOW! For the guy running Ready Mix Music, engineer Paul Horabin, this is obviously NOT first and foremost about making money. Rather, it’s about collaborating, experimenting, moving the song to the next level… and doing so in one of the calmest, coziest environments conceivable. While part of me hopes this studio remains something of a hidden treasure in the LA recording world, based on my experiences there, Mr. Horabin should have a line of musicians extending out the door/​down the block — folks about to get their songs greatly enhanced and lives uplifted from the golden opportunity of recording here.

I was on Unilocal for about 4 years and then they retroactively told me I couldn’t post vid reviews so I got annoyed and closed my account. The only reason I opened an account again is so that I could sing the praises of this AMAZING recording studio.
Not only an exciting piece of LA Music history with cool memorabilia, they have state of the art equiptment and the MOST amazing engineer, Paul Horbain. He has the best bedside manner EVER. If you are «green» and just starting out, wanting to make some demos, this is the perfect place. If you are a crack pro and want a friendly, up to date place to record your album, this is also the perfect place.
If you need vocal coaching or someone to jump in and sing perfectly on your tracks, Sarah Taylor is part of the ReadyMix team and available to help.
Their rates are incredibly reasonable and their expertise is invaluable.
As an added bonus, some of the best tacos in the city at La Chispita, are a mile away. Fun Noho neighborhood and great thrift stores to browse if you need to take a break.
Don’t let this hidden gem pass you by. Give ‘em a call TODAY!

Fantastic studio! Paul is a master at getting the perfect sound out of the artist. He is creative and artistic. He knows the perfect balance of new and old styles, helping the singer find the right sound for their recordings. Whether you are recording an original song or cover, Paul will help you make it unique and help you put your own special touches on it. His eclectic decorations make it fascinating yet comfortable to work in. You feel at home! I’ll continue to use ReadyMix Music for all of my recordings for my current and future music projects!
