Sound City Studios

Sound City Studios is a recording studio in Los Angeles, California. It first opened in 1969 in the Van Nuys neighborhood. Before this, it was a factory for the British musical instrument maker Vox. The studio became well known for having a unique sound, especially when drums are played in there. Because of this, many famous recording artists have recorded there. These include Johnny Cash, Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, and many others. Over one hundred albums recorded at Sound City were given gold and platinum certifications.[1][2]
