Our Journey

Stylized audio waveform representing the essence of SonicVerse Studios

SonicVerse Studios emerged from a shared passion for audio excellence. Founded in 2018 by Ethan Blackwood and Maya Rodriguez, two seasoned audio engineers with a combined 30 years of experience, the studio began as a small project space in a converted garage in Silver Lake. Ethan, with his deep understanding of analog recording techniques, and Maya, a digital audio wizard, envisioned a studio that bridged the gap between vintage warmth and modern precision.

Initially, SonicVerse focused primarily on local indie bands and voice-over artists, building a reputation for its personalized service and unwavering commitment to quality. Word-of-mouth spread quickly, and soon the studio was attracting a diverse range of clients, from established musicians to emerging podcasters. As demand grew, Ethan and Maya recognized the need to expand and invest in state-of-the-art equipment. This led to the relocation of SonicVerse Studios to its current location in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles – a vibrant hub for creative expression.

The new facility boasts acoustically treated recording rooms, a meticulously designed mixing suite featuring a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 console, and a dedicated mastering suite equipped with high-end analog and digital processing gear. This significant upgrade allowed SonicVerse Studios to offer a comprehensive range of services, including audio recording, mixing, mastering, voice-over production, podcast production, and sound design for film and video games.

Over the years, SonicVerse Studios has had the privilege of working with a wide array of talented artists, including Grammy-nominated musicians, award-winning filmmakers, and top-rated podcasters. Our team is incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and the impact we've had on the Los Angeles music scene. We remain committed to our original vision of providing exceptional audio services in a creative and supportive environment. We look forward to continuing our journey and helping even more artists bring their sonic visions to life.

We believe in fostering long-term relationships with our clients, treating each project with the care and attention it deserves. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a first-time recording artist, we're here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience.
