Los Angeles, CA (June 3, 2024)—Fab Factory Studios in North Hollywood has unveiled a newly remodeled studio, Melody A, that can accommodate more than 20 musicians and features an SSL 4040E in the control room.
“The investment we’ve made into Melody A was in response to requests from our longtime clients who were looking for a top live room where they could record orchestration projects,” said Fab Factory Studios president and COO, Shaun Fabos.
In addition to the 40-channel SSL console, the control room is equipped with 48 channels of Lynx conversion, a UAD Octo card, an EMT 140 plate reverb and PMC8-2 XBD monitors plus an alternate set of Focal Alpha 65s. Two credenzas are loaded with outboard gear including eight Neve 5052 pre/EQs, a Bricasti M7, a stereo pair of 1176s, a CL1B and an LA-2A.
There are 56 tielines to the live room which also has three iso booths, with multiple Cat5 lines for video and the Aviom cue system. Melody A also features a unique drum wall and a 1970 Steinway Model D grand piano.

Fab Factory Studios, launched in 2016 by serial entrepreneur Steven Fabos and his son, Shaun, has hosted a long list of film and television productions as well as music projects by the Prince and Jimi Hendrix estates, 50 Cent, producer Keith Harris, Estelle Joji and others.
