HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- With the opening of the new BETA Studio in the Los Angeles facilities of BETA Records (http://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."

"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.
