The Studio

La La Land is an analog/digital-based recording studio in Louisville, Kentucky, built around a vintage, 40-channel Trident TSM40 board (originally built for the famed Record Plant in Sausalito, CA). With a full array of classic analog gear and a 2500-square-foot tracking room with three isolation booths, it’s a perfect environment to create, explore, and record any dream album. The studio has been a creative home over the years to Jim James, Ray Lamontagne, Jake Shears, GRLWood, Strand of Oaks, Joan Shelley, Boa, and countless other national, regional, and local artists.
​
La La Land is within a few hours drive from Chicago, IL, Nashville, TN, Cincinnati, OH, and Bloomington, IN.
