Mad Muse Studios Producer/Studio Designer - Matt Salazar: / producedbymattsalazar
Mad Muse Studios Studio Manager - Zulma Tercero
Mad Muse Studios Director of Events - Lucas Flood: / lucastflood
Located in downtown Los Angeles, Mad Muse Studios is a studio run by In Flight Music Group (IFMG)-a full-scale musical ecosystem with a mission to provide artists with the space and resources to write, record, release, perform, and monetize their music.
In Flight Music Group is managed by Matt Salazar (CEO), Zulma Tercero (COO), and Lucas Flood (CMO). Formed in early 2017, the group started leasing a space in the Arts District of Los Angeles and built out a modest 1,000 square-foot production room. It stood alone as the only studio in the area to feature a large format SSL console as its centerpiece.
Looking for a way into the grassroots community of musicians currently playing the Hollywood/Silver Lake music scene, CMO Lucas Flood started a songwriter night called Writer's Block. After a few venue changes, the event found its stride and became a permanent fixture of Tuesday nights at the world-famous Hotel Cafe (where over 400 songwriters from around the world perform the event each year). It has gained major label/publisher/agency recognition and has expanded to New York (Rockwood Music Hall) and Nashville (Mercy Lounge).
Out of Writer's Block grew another business opportunity for IFMG-filming. In 2018, IFMG invited a few artists who had performed on the Writer's Block stage back to the studio for a single-camera video shoot of their set. People enjoyed the videos so much that they began requesting that their sets at Hotel Cafe be shot as well, and before they knew it, they were filming five to 10 sets a night.
At the end of 2018, they were told they couldn't renew their lease and had to tear down everything they'd just built. It was catastrophic. From November 2018 to April 2019, they had no space for the studio, no way to work on projects for their catalog, and no recording income, just bills.
Eventually, they found a 4,500 square-foot warehouse a few blocks from the old studio. It was just one large open space, but they saw the potential to do something unique with it.
Matt took notice of the open layouts that Paul Epworth had done with The Church Studios in the UK, as well as Jay Joyce with his personal Nashville space, and the idea here was to have an incredible acoustic space that could facilitate tracking sessions of any size while still allowing everyone to feel connected and involved.

What is your favourite studio to work in? Let me know below!
Despite our old basement studio and our favourite studio in cologne, which are both gone, I like to work at my own small place.
Rak2 rak3. Abbey Road. Townhouse London. Rockfield in Wales...the Manor Oxford 😪now clised. The Substation in Rosyth Fife. Castle of doom Glasgow. My mates recorded drums and gtrs fir a whole wedding present album at electrical audio Chicago. They told me what i wanted/ needed to know.
Wisseloord!
Hello, Warren! Thanks for the great video. You give me the opportunity to visit places that are inaccessible to me in ordinary life. And mingle with people I can't meet. It's amazing. It would be great to meet one day Andy Wallace and Manny Marroquin =D. Have a nice weekend.
Home. I'm in the middle of building my dream home studio. I'm hoping to be finished mid fall.
Well that was nice to hear he uses my Mojave Peacemaker so often. I’m glad we are a go to amp in an arsenal of stellar choices.
Fantastic! Thanks Mojave
@@Producelikeapro victor is super easy tow work with.
This studio is absolutely amazing! The video could've been 3 hours and I still would've watched the whole thing!
Wow! Thanks ever so much Jordan!
I agree, I read one hour 40 mins and thought that is a commitment, but put it on and it was suddenly over. That pedal collection!
@@peterleeson1122 thanks ever so much!
Ditto 👍🏾
Couldn't agree more I honestly wish there was more.
mojave ampworks victor mason is a good friend of mine. yes he has been doing real estate. he is relocating from so cal to spokane Washington this week! all of his amps are great. and built even better than hiwatts!
What I like more than anything is he had an answer for all your questions and not only the basics but every aspect.Very impressive.
Yes, indeed! Very informative indeed
I agree, he for sure knows his stuff but also seems like a really nice guy, both of them, I could for sure record an album here, Awesome interview Warren!
this guy is the definitive master of describing amp sounds!!!
Fantastic!!
These guys are really smart….soo good to see them walk in that air
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Geezer is an information tech wizard. What he doesn’t know ain’t worth knowing. He’s narration on each item was like listening to a scientist gleeing about his new found discovery. Had me mesmerised all the way through. His op’o who said he wasn’t a musician played the Yamaha keyboard with skill. Can he sing cus his deep voice was making my wifey weak at the knees. Lol. Again he should use that voice for voice overs, he’d make a package. Well worth my time watching and listening back. Well done guys 👊🏾
Thanks ever so much Germaine!
Thanks, Warren. This was a long one but so interesting I watched through to the end. So cool they're using so much CAPI stuff.. I have 6 channels of Jeff's preamps. And what a cool use of one huge room with all the specific sound treatment everywhere. And a ridiculous gear collection - wow.
What a great setup, I love seeing the uniqueness that can be manifest in a studio vision, and that place is a guitar players dream! Matt was a wealth of knowledge and very interesting to listen to, during the height of the pandemic the studio tours are what I missed the most on your channel, thanks Warren!
Great studio, great tour!! I'd like to see a part 2 as there was so much time spent on pedals. I'm a guitar player but I love cymbals, drums, and more on guitars. And all that other stuff!
Thanks Warren!
Yes, please keep these long-form videos coming.! Great job Warren and team!
Oh yes! I certainly will!
Just WOW, love these studio tours!!!
Thanks ever so much Ady!!
Love the philosophy behind this setup.
Workflow is vital but it's so easy to get bogged down in a process or get obsessed with having the "best" and forget about creative flow and the final cohesion of a piece of music. Thank you for the tour!
I’ve watched this 4 times now. It’s amazing! A guitar gear dream.
Not to nitpick, but mid '73 is when Marshall quit doing point to point, I know this because my point to point 100 watt Marshall has a 73 build date. I totally dig this concept for a studio, so how I would do it if money were no object and I could start over. Great tour and interview.
Great info to know! Thanks ever so much!
really enjoyed yur tour of this new studio.
Thanks ever so much
That was amazing! Thank you for the tour Warren and the crew at Mad Muse!
Marvellous
Hah, I told my brother that the Boss BF-2 was the pedal that made me fall in love with guitar, and he found me one. It is super cool, almost like two pedals in one, at least.
Fantastic! I love BF-2!
This is my ideal studio. It is perfect and has all the things setup exactly the best way. love the open room design, love that it's inviting and pretty enough to film in, love that there are no patchbays and everything is routed directly. love the capi's, love the desk that's also a daw controller, yet modular analog too, love the amp switchers. it's all perfect! What a great setup. and introduced me to a great load box, should i ever need one. very cool.
Such a fantastic example of a modern Contemporary studio design. All about open-plan creativity and workflow. Matt Salazar is so insanely passionate and knowledgeable. Great tour I was riveted for the whole thing Thanks
Really fun tour. Lots of amp and pedal geekiness. Thanks, guys!
Thanks ever so much!!
Absolutely amazing tour. What a great facility. Thank you Warren and Mad Muse team.
Thanks ever is much Greg!
Yes! I so missed these tours. Highlight? Boss EQ pedal. Not even joking. The fact you both still thought and cared about something that down to earth... and dare I say, mundane is inspiring. Still care about how to use a cheap pedal to make music. Every piece of gear talked about was connect to what to do with it in music... it was not gear for gear's sake. I will never have these things, but I will have the inspiration to use my things better because of your tour. Thanks PLAP and MM... really.
Thanks ever so much for picking up on that! Agreed, that is such a simple and amazing piece!
That is 1 million percent my kinda studio… I love the size and space. I prefer recording as a band if possible. This place is so user friendly. I love that a musician can just walk away into a different area and just stroll around and look at stuff like in a museum. I really dig this space. And the gear and board are incredible. I love the direct wiring and no patch bays. This is setup to flow smoothly. No glass in the control room is great, I love the comraderey. Also love that the guy in control of making the mix the best it can be, also knows every piece of gear he has, and every nuance of the piece. Only 1 thing I’d change. Get a Friedman BE 100 in there for me. Beautiful place and thanks for taking the time to look at things…
Yes !
I enjoyed this video so much that I never noticed it was almost two hours long. Thank you sir!
Thanks ever so much!!
I love the ingenuity, what a well designed and awesome place.
Yes, agreed 100%!
That studio is fantastic. Love the concept. Best quote "If you know certain channels are always going to be xyz why make it a patch bay." I feel the same as Matt. I am actually drawing up plans for a 16 X 24 big room studio with no partitions for "control room". My question for Matt is "Going through with that type of room do you have to utilize more sound diffusion and/or dampening on the walls or would you say its the same just more strategically positioned."
It's like Wonderland! What a place!
Yes! Amazing
What an EPIC studio!!
Yes another studio tour!!!
Thanks ever so much!!
What a fantastic studio! The owners seem so very cool too! Watched every second of this. WoW!
Thanks Craig
"I'm a Tele guy".... says just about every seasoned guitarist on the planet (LOL). I mean there's the Les Paul camp, but who doesn't love the magnificently simple but effective Tele? 🙂
Very well said!
It took 3 days to watch the show (time constraints) and it was well worth it! Warren always has excellent interviews. My favorite studio is my home office studio, the only one I can afford.
Fantastic! Glad you enjoyed the studio tour! It was a lot of fun!!
I for one, really enjoyed this studio visit. It showed a completely different take on a unique type of studio that I really enjoyed. Thank You.
Jeez! What a terrific Fender amp section! I was thinking he'd have to have some on hand. Seems like a nice guy who'd be great to work with. I'm sure he's gotten some great performances out of people in that space.
I agree! Amazing collection of Amps!!
Marvellous studio and video. Love it. Thank you so much.
Thanks ever so much Pepe!
Wow This studio is really cutting edge. I love the openness of the room(S) and the hard wired approach.
Fantastic
these studio tours are brilliant not just for all the cool gear and rooms, but also the amazing gems of wisdom and experience that are readily and frequently shared.
Thanks ever so much!!
I love this channel. Thank you for all the great content you spoil us with. Friendly greetings!
Glad you enjoy it!
What I like about your channel Warren is the accessibility. My experience of recording is VERY limited indeed so the most I ‘get’ is Logic Pro which I have to ask my son about if I need detail. But it never feels like this stuff goes over my head because somewhere along the way terms get explained and that is enormously helpful
Not to say really very entertaining. You get the producers depth of knowledge the excellent guitar playing, and then the insight of a very good music writer. Thanks for everything that you do.
Max, Yorkshire England
Great video again Warren . Those divided/13 are amazing and Tim Pierce did a video on them and they are gorgeous sounding.
Amazing,and you did marvelous job as always Warren!!
Thanks ever so much
Amazing tour, very nice studio.
Fun producer to listen to all day long.
Thanks ever so much
Really Cool Interviews. Love the space!
Man, I love your energy while giving instructions to 🤟🏾👍🏾. BTW been playing mostly keys had a convo just this morning about how I’m rusty on Pedals with our Organist. Thanks 🙏
It’s a beautiful playground!
It certainly is
What an amazing facility and set of tools. Definitely want to hear what breath of music comes from there.
Thanks ever so much!!
Omigoodness! Y'all managed to make it to the drums! Hee! 💓
Haha indeed
Cool studio tour and equipment review. They really do have everything. I'm going to save this video just for those times when I'm not sure what I want to use... for whatever.
Thanks ever so much! Agreed great studio!
Matt is awesome great energy, dope studio!
Thanks ever so much
Watched it to the end. Amazing! Thx
Thanks Bas!!
Great video, Matt was so easy with endless information and I loved your honest inquisitive banter. Great flow, and what a studio! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see the tours back Warren.
Thanks ever so much!
Ah yes, fondly looking back at 2016 as well
What a lovely guy. Gorgeous studio. Very informative video Warren. 👍
Thanks very much
That's a beautiful desk . So functional
Absolutely
Thank you Warren-Muse? Never heard of them! :-)
this is one of the nicest studios I've seen so far! great athmosphere and soo much gear 😅😬
Thanks! Great studio and tour.
Thanks Arthur!
I really like the setup of the studio and those wooden diffuser, is their possible to have a plan or schematics from those diffuser?? nice setup!
Great episode Warren, was gonna just tune in for 15 minutes or so, but then ended up watching the entire show !
Wow! Thanks ever so much!
ME too!! amazing indeed!! thank you Warren!
Awesome to see the FatRat in an honored place. I was on the design team and, while I’m biased of course, I think it’s an underrated pedal.
Wow that is one beautiful studio!
Yes, it is! Thanks ever so much!
Great studio!
What an amazing studio!!!!!! I want to track here.
It’s fantastic
Warren: Those studio tours are amazing from simple point of view: You read those reviews online and You never know if someone was paid for them of not, does this outboard gear is good or a guy was sponsored by, but when You see a big great studio and they actually have it installed in the rack then You know.
I'm talkin about these AML 52F50 - It's hard to get a Neve 2254 and You never know about a true condition of them. One of the best engineers Paul Fg, when He did incredible Mike Inez bass sound on last Alice in chains 3 records (Without Layne), said that He love 2254 on bass and He would use only them if studio has enough. Now I will look closer to this AML 52F50!
Cleanest set up I’ve seen yet.. damn🤘
Marvellous
one of the best studio tours ever.
Thanks Mattie!
I'm a drummer/producer but still get a buzz from seeing a guitarist/producer drooling over pedals and amps! It's funny because I worked with Steven Street in the 90s on a drum session but was too afraid to ask too many questions for fear of being unprofessional, but you asked him all the questions I would have, so big thanks for that!! 👍
Earthquaker Devices "The Warden" is my favorite compressor pedal.
Thanks ever so much for sharing Ken!
Beautiful studio, I could spend days tweaking and playing with all those pedals.
Thanks Uri!
Well crafted studio, very forward thinking. A mono 5" crap reference speaker for mixing and a basketball court out back and it´s a wrap for me. Nothing like working in one room.
Really like their approach. When they spoke about switching from their SSL to the current custom approach, I noticed a lot of double speak haha. I think Matt might still miss the SSL! I understand it was about speed, but Matt seemed to feel that he was pretty fast on the console. I'd like to hear more specifically what the bottle neck was - recall I guess? Or is it just that the new setup really cemented the switch from out of the box to in the box mixing.
Good to see you out recording in reality
Yes! So much fun to get out there and look at this amazing studio!
Amazing place
Agreed!!
I'm the same with ATCs the minute i got mine every other monitor other than my grot box was gone. Great vid
Wow does this guy KNOW HIS GEAR HOLY%$$@....Lots of innocent endorsements...gr8 vid I will watch and share
Thanks ever so much!
Super-interesting interview 👍🏻 Great guy, great gear, thanks.
Thanks ever so much Karl!
I’d love to rent out the space just to play some of those guitars and amps and chat with Matt. Sounds like my kinda guitar nerd. If I ever retire from my day job I’d love to “intern” at a place like this. Cool gear, cool vibe and cool people.
beautiful studio men..!!!
Thanks ever so much
Right from the start, that desk is precisely what I want. If I ver get to build a studio. Gotta stop being broke. But it's got the perfect feel for me. I need to get contact info for Collin (sp) just in case I do get there. The studio itself is amazing. But... the walls of all the amps and pedals... I need a drool bucket.
I have a Bugera V22 that I have had for many years now, I replaced the tubes with all MESA and put a 12in Cannibas Rex in it.....outstanding sounding amp, it shocks people all the time
Amazing place.
Agreed
Love the "console".
Me too!
I wish they did plug in couple of guitars and played around for a bit. would be a great watch!
Revolution Recording in Toronto Canada! Amazing live room in Studio A
Thanks for sharing
Damn that piano sounds gorgeous
Agreed
Foxrox Octron 2! At 1:06:38 GREAT pedal. Wish I wouldn't have sold mine, but I'm on the list for the new one. He didn't mention that it also has a loop built into it - you can run a chain of other pedals that will only switch on when you turn on the octron, then be processed through it. Analog octave up and down with fuzz (or cleaner, there are some DIP switches inside that alter the tonality a bit) that tracks better than any other analog octave I've tried. Pete Thorn has a good demo of it..
With an amp collection like that it's no surprise he's never turned on the Kemper
Incredible set up smiling.
Thanks Marcus!
I swear by the SSL UR8's, in the Box but feels out side the Box.
Thanks for sharing Trevor!
DS 1 distortion great review with most knowledgeable chap..Warren....what NO Helix Rack...come on!!
Haha I have a Helix rack!
I'd love to hear some stems out of here with a full band cutting live off the floor. How good is the separation/isolation when monitoring in the control room?
I’m going to go back and create some tracks! I’ll let you know!
Holy cow this studio...
Yes, amazing
Wow. Where do we start. Top lads.
haha! Loving the CAPI Console!
Marvellous
@@Producelikeapro definitely marvelous! I had actually dreamt of building my studio in that way one day! Thank you for your videos, I’m a huge fan!! 😎
hanging out at this studio and learning from these guys...and get paid for it?
sounds like a job for Warren, the best candidate for the duty!!
id watch you enjoying those shelves for hours ;-)
WOW..!!!!!
Marvellous!
They also added diode clipping in to the JCM800 after the first few years of production. Might be the reason you didn't like them before!
Aha! Maybe! Thanks for sharing that
Well, that's a ton of gear. Can't imagine, with the vintage git collection and amps, mics (you didn't get into the mic locker btw) and outboard, what it all cost. Has to be well over a million. Somehow or other they are apparently either extremely well funded, by some awesome benefactor, or they work a ton and charge a lot of money.
I've never heard of Matt as a guitar player. Can he play? He certainly knows the gear inside and out. Smart guy.
Man, really love all your studio tours, but it would be great to be able to hear examples of the music that comes out of the studios, maybe some links to hi quality recordings, ask the studios they can send you examples?
