HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – July 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With the opening of the new BETA Studio in the Los Angeles facilities of BETA Records (www.betarecords.com), musicians have a new home for creativity. “It was exciting to launch our new recording studio with a week-long album session starring music industry legends, The Temptations,” states Georg van Handel, BETA’s CEO. “It was great watching the five vocalists interact, and when we brought in the horn section, things were really jumping.”
The Temptations began on Motown Records and are now on New Door Records, a part of Universal Music Group. “Their track record since the 1960s has been astonishing,” notes Chris Honetschlaeger, BETA President, “with multiple Gold and Platinum records and four Grammy awards.” *(Photo Caption: Founders Georg van Handel (L) and Chris Honetschlager (R) of online music company BETA Records appear next to a video backdrop in the new BETA Studio).
Recording took place in the BETA Studio for a solid week on the Temptations’ new album entitled “Back to Front,” scheduled for release on New Door / Universal on September 18. “We enjoyed the BETA team, and the studio is 1,500 square feet of sonic magic!” says Otis Williams, lead singer, The Temptations.
The BETA studio is equipped with digital and analog equipment. Utilizing the “all native” Mac / Logic / Apogee Symphony combo not only allows for the best A/D and D/A conversion, it also enables producers to patch into top-of-the-line outboard gear like GML, Manley, Universal Audio and much more.
The studio, located off Sunset Blvd. in the heart of Hollywood, includes a video production room with green screen, interview room, make-up room, DJ and Internet radio production areas, kitchen and guest room.
