Devonshire Sound Studios, Recording studio in North Hollywood, California.
Devonshire Sound Studios is a recording facility in North Hollywood with multiple separate studios designed for different types of recordings. The complex includes control rooms, acoustic echo chambers, and comfortable spaces for musicians and engineers.
Built by designer David Mancini, the studio moved to North Hollywood in 1971 to accommodate growth and new projects. During the 1970s and 1980s, major artists recorded important albums here, making it a hub for music production during that era.
Billy Joel, Bing Crosby, Weather Report, and Ringo Starr recorded notable albums at Devonshire Sound Studios during the 1970s and 1980s.
The facility offers lounges, a bar, and spa amenities to support long recording sessions. Access to the studios requires prior arrangement, as it functions as a professional working space rather than a public venue.
The site now operates under a different name, Salami Studios, and has shifted focus to recording voice-over work for animated television series including SpongeBob SquarePants. This transformation reflects how recording facilities adapt to new areas of media production.
