Lily Moayeri After more than 65 years, Los Angeles’ legendary United Recording Studios, where Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, as well as the Beach Boys, Sam Cooke, Jay-Z, Green Day, and more recently, Paramore and Kendrick Lamar have recorded, is retooling its operations — to the detriment of its storied history as “the Abbey Road of the West,” not to mention its employees. Starting April 3, the studio will require “longer minimum booking lengths for recording sessions,” according to Mix Magazine — although this minimum has yet to be determined. Furthermore, artists will need to bring in their own engineers to run United Recordings’ rare vintage equipment, some of which dates to the studio’s beginnings in the late ‘50s. This renowned gear requires expertise that isn’t readily available to the current-day audio engineering school graduates who don’t have the benefit of the studio’s longtime professionals.
The reason for these policy changes is United Recordings’ current owners, real estate investment company Hudson Pacific Properties, laid off almost the entirety of the studio staff on March 6, as per the Los Angeles Times.

Earlier this year, the studio was used to record Jack Harlow’s Super Bowl Doritos commercial, which must have commanded a strong rental fee — presumably significantly more than a music recording session would generate, in a much shorter period and with minimal professional on-site staff. This type of lucrative return is very attractive for a company whose main source of profit is real estate rather than creative
