Touring The Pharmacy Studios (Dr. Dre, Eminem) with TRINITY

The Pharmacy Studios is a legendary space in Los Angeles where artists like Dr. Dre, Michael Jackson, Eminem, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and hundreds of others have recorded their hits.

In the video above, expert producer TRINITY and veteran audio engineer Paul Montes give us an exclusive tour of The Pharmacy Studios. Join us as they dive into its rich history, iconic rooms, storied gear, and more.

“Michael Jackson was right here, looking over the shoulder of the amazing Bruce Sweden,” Montes shares as the two take a seat in a lounge that was formerly a control room. “And Quincy, of course, was somewhere in the building as well.”

“We’re sitting right here, with the legends,” TRINITY responds. “You can’t help but feel inspired.”
