History

Established in 2013.

Esplanade Studios opened its doors in 2013 as the largest recording studio in Louisiana, located in the heart of New Orleans historic neighborhood, Treme.

The 14,000 square foot building, formally a 1920’s church has been completely restored and renovated, allowing the highest quality professional sound recording services available in a unique architectural setting.

Studio A has a 3,400 square foot ‘live’ room with 30 ft. ceilings, able to accommodate up to a 70 piece orchestra, 4 isolated rooms and 2 amp rooms in full view. The control room, once an upstairs choir room has been converted into a 1,500 square foot chamber, featuring a 5th iso room and is home to the 1970’s Trident TSM board that once resided in A&M studios in Los Angeles. This board was used to record some of the biggest artists and records throughout the 1970 and 80’s including the best selling single single of all time, «We are the World» in 1984.

My daughter had a school choir recording session here recently and I was very impressed with the facility. Much of it is over my head but I can certainly appreciate the complex sound equipment and gear that have everywhere. There is even mixing board inputs in the hallways to take advantage of the natural reverb! Very cool.
I’m not sure of the rates and availability but to the untrained eye, it looks like a world class recording studio with all the newest processors and computers on hand.

Housed in a restored church in the heart of New Orleans, Esplanade Studios is a top notch recording studio. It reminds me of Skywalker Sound in Marin in the level of attention to detail that’s gone into their production. While of course not as large as Lucas’s recording studio, Esplanade Studios is impressive for a smaller market venue. There are three studios and five iso rooms. The control room is set up where the church’s choir used to be housed. Almost every nook of the studios is wired up. Inspired by the sound in the staircase? There’s already panel there. They have a full kitchen and plenty of parking. Not only is it functionally impressive but it’s also an aesthetic delight. The wood floors and stained glass windows make it a vibrant place to work. Esplanade Studios is the nicest recording studio in New Orleans, nothing else compares.
