17 Hertz

About us

Magical comes to mind—but you’d have to know our history. Metallica’s Black Album, the group’s best-selling record in the last 20 years, was recorded here. The Grey Room, producer extraordinaire Richard Landis’ replica of his home studio: We’ve got it. Mix in some pivotal modernization and you get a rare synthesis of method, style and function that is the soul of 17 Hertz.

Working with us will always be a step beyond: Forget your expectations, we’re out to surpass! From independent labels to major artists, orchestra to vocals, innovation is our bottom line. At our all-in-one recording complex, any size project is within reach. Extra space to practice and jam 24/7, a nearby dance studio for choreographing—17 Hertz is YOUR full service studio.

Our home is in the NoHo Arts District, at the heart of the ‘new Hollywood’—a bona fide locus of creative revolution— and on the pulse of the newest technology and expertise. Record placement and recognition is our standard—it’s what we work for, it’s what we achieve. Welcome to the new frequency of music. Welcome to 17 Hertz!

17 Hertz Studio was formerly known as One on One Recording, owned by Jim David, son of Hal David. The studio gained popularity during the 1980s and 90s for having the best drum sound in the city and became home to many of the nation’s top acts.

In 2012, Jason Gluz, President and CEO of 17 Hertz, LLC, took over the 10,000 sq ft space, which was in ruin after years of vacancy. Jason renamed it to 17 Hertz Studio, bringing life back into the historic facility and renovating it from the group up.
