We are a purposeful symmetry of history, culture, state of the art equipment and the most skilled team found in the entertainment industry. Westlake has a varied selection of studios to meet the needs of our clients ranging from smaller, fully capable, production rooms to larger studios able to accommodate full tracking or a small choir.
The studio was founded as Westlake Audio in the early 1970s and is credited as “one of the first big commercial efforts to produce acoustically standardized interchangeable rooms”. Westlake rooms aimed for an acoustic design that could give a fairly flat frequency response at the recording position, with the ability to control reverberation delay. The studios became very popular, and “Westlake-style” rooms spread to a number of other studios and around the world by the late 1970s.
Artists, songwriters and producers appreciate the relaxed setting, full-service staff and state of the art equipment. For over 50 years, major artists continue to trust Westlake with their most important projects.
