The L.A. Sound Gallery -- once known as Evergreen Recording Studios
-- is open for sessions once again on West Magnolia Avenue in Burbank.
The 4,000-square-foot
main live room features three isolation booths and can handle orchestral
recording for up to 65 pieces. The centerpiece of the studio is
a 72-channel Solid State Logic Duality console that delivers the
sound quality and signal processing of the legendary 9000 K Series
while providing the integrated control of a DAW.
Because of the large size of the recording room, LA Sound Gallery
immediately received requests from clients such as Warner Bros.
and Fox Television, starting with the hit TV show “Fringe”
with Dan Wallin. "The session went flawlessly. Recording is
all about sound and the Duality sounds great. I’m looking forward
to coming back for more,” says Academy Award nominated engineer
Wallin.
“The Duality is our next generation console that marries our
legendary analogue traditions with the digital workstation revolution,
yielding an enhanced recording experience for engineers and artists
from both worlds. We are very excited that LA Sound Gallery has
purchased a Duality, and that renowned engineers such as Dan Wallin
are enjoying the console,” says Phil Wagner, president of Solid
State Logic, Inc.
Owner Matt Salazar discovered the building, which Media Concepts
president Yves Chicha was using as a post-production facility. They
spent $3 million refurbishing it, consulting with veteran mixer
Dan Wallin ("Bullitt," "The Right Stuff") on
acoustic issues. Composers Michael Giacchino ("Lost"),
Alf Clausen ("The Simpsons") and Walter Murphy ("Family
Guy") have already recorded here.
Producer and composer Matt Salazar has worked in the music and pro
audio industries for the past 10 years, with projects ranging from
artist development for Geffen/Interscope and Warner Bros., to composition
and production work for records, film, and T.V. that include: "Hollywood
Girl" featured in Disney’s Hannah Montana and on Entertainment
Tonight, and “Happily Ever After” featured in the upcoming
Tim Allen / Elisha Cuthbert film “My Dad’s Six Wives”.

Composer
Mark Isham Sessions at LaSound Gallery
Salazar’s
studio and production experience began at the
age of 13, when he put together his first studio and recorded some
20 Fresno bands. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Matt entered
the LA studio scene first working at Sage and Sound Recorders and
the legendary O'Henry's as an Assistant engineer, progressing rapidly
to project engineer at Mama Joe's and Ocean Studios Burbank before
opening his own studio.
Remaining true
to his roots as a musician and songwriter (he plays guitar, piano,
and the trumpet) Matt continues to write with most artists he produces.
Salazar who admits being a "gear junkie” has appointed
LA Sound Gallery with an impressive array of vintage instruments
and production gear including the original reverb plates from Paramount
Studios, and a 1913 Steinway Hamburg C, recently retrofitted with
Midi interface.
Now at 25, Matt with the help of brother Jason Salazar and partner
Antonio Cristi charged with Business Development
for Bandy Bros. Media Group, LLC (LASG’s parent company), recently
signed a "first look" post production agreement with film
finance company Match Media, LLC., a company managed by Browndorf
PEM LLC., including post facility, underscore, and soundtrack production.
“This “360 degree” production model represents a
significant expansion for Bandy Bros. Media Group into post production
and product development in the areas of music, television, and feature
films” says Cristi.
