Fairly interesting video taking you around the facilities.  Little mention of our guys and using Studio 3 to escape Capitol.

Very cool. Thanks for posting!

I was able to take a tour of the studio in 2002 when it was still Oceanway. I can attest that the studio rooms still look the same.

Coincidentally, I own several of the East West sample libraries as well as several plug-ins from Universal Audio that replicate the outboard equipment that Bill Putnam designed and is still used at East West. So considering that and the fact that I have a deep love for the music that the Beach Boys recorded there, I feel that I have a multi-faceted connection to Western/Oceanway/East West.

Wow, what a cool video.  I've stood outside this building and snapped a few photos, but never ventured in.  Thanks for posting!!

Excuse me and hello, but not one second of Bat Out Of Hell was recorded in Western. Nor was Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell - that was at Ocean Way. Maybe Bat 3 was, but...
