Ameraycan Studios

Located in North Hollywood, California, USA. Ameraycan was built in the mid 1970’s by artist-producer Ray Parker Jr. as his personal recording studio. The facility was designed by Jack Edwards who also designed studios such as United Western and Ocean Way with Bill Putnam. When first opened, the two-room facility with a private production suite operated with the newest technology available and was also the first facility to have SSL consoles in both studios. Artists such as Billy Idol, Miles Davis, and Cypress Hill recorded at the Ameraycan Studios. Paramount purchased Ameraycan in 2000 and the studio went through a large renovation with the addition of a 80 channel G+ SSL (with ultimation) console in Studio B and the addition of 16 channels to the 56 channel SSL G in studio A to make it a 72 channel console. The Amerycan Studios belong together with the Paramount Studios, the Encore Studios, the Track Record (3) and the Wilder Brothers Studios to the Paramount Recording Group.
