RCA Victor, Columbia, Capitol, and Decca utilized Radio Recorders prior to building their own West Coast facilities, and remained the choice of many independent labels and both popular and classical artists, from Stravinsky to Elvis.
[2] In 1946, Radio Recorders remodeled a former RCA Victor warehouse located at 1032 North Sycamore Avenue into a large studio capable of handling approximately fifty musicians.
At that time, artists such as Guns & Roses, Sugar Ray, Toni Braxton, Brandy, No Doubt and others recorded there.
From 2002 to 2008 the studio welcomed many great projects and clients including Natalie Cole, Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, Lil' Jon, Xzibit, Annie Lennox and many more.
Today the sign describing the historical significance of Radio Recorders still remains on the corner of Santa Monica and Orange.
