Rose Lane Studios is one of Santa Barbara County’s best-kept musical secrets — but it won’t be for much longer. Tucked away on Rose Lane in Carpinteria, the spacious spot houses a comprehensive production facility and label for musicians, comedians, filmmakers, and creators of all sorts. Recently renovated and refreshed with a new staff and vision for emerging artists, Rose Lane’s potential is just beginning to bloom.
“We’re a one-stop shop,” Rose Lane Studios president E. “Bucket” Baker said. “Anyone with a dream can come here. We will help you. Come do your photoshoots, your videos, your music, your social media footprint — everything you need is in-house.”
The new space imparts a clear, open vibe, with minimalist wood paneling offering a blank creative slate for artists. The specs are impressive. There’s a 2,700-square-foot soundstage, green screen, and Cloudcast studio for filming and photoshoots. There is a custom-designed Neve recording console, isolated sound rooms, and a tuned recording space, with wood and stone paneling providing different sound reflections. And then there’s the branding, website, design, and marketing division, helping project builders shape and sell their brand via the Rose Lane Records label.
