20 professional studios in the South End. Every room fully equipped — multiple DAWs, industry-standard gear, no barriers. Open daily at $10–40/hour.
960 Mass Ave has been running for 15 years. In that time we've learned one thing that hasn't changed: the biggest thing standing between a musician and professional-quality work isn't talent. It's cost.
Commercial studio time in Boston runs $100 or more an hour. That price doesn't reflect the quality of the work that happens there — it reflects who can afford to walk in. We built 960 to change that math. Not as a charitable arrangement, but as a model we've held for 15 years.
Book online or walk in. No membership required. Your first session or your thousandth — same rates, same rooms, same gear.
At commercial rates, 8 hours of monthly studio time runs $800–1,600 a year — for someone earning $5,000–15,000 annually from creative work, that's 25–150% of their income just for access. At $10–40/hour, space costs a fraction of that. That difference is whether a career develops or stops entirely.
Every room comes fully loaded — multiple DAWs, industry-standard microphones, interfaces, and monitoring. You walk in and work. No software to install, no gear to rent, no setup barriers between you and the session. The point is that nothing gets in the way.
From 131 Greater Boston communities. Emerging artists, working producers, Berklee students, nonprofit youth programs, and seasoned engineers all use the same rooms. That density isn't incidental — it's what makes 960 a professional network, not just a building with rooms.
From intimate vocal booths to massive live rooms capable of tracking full ensembles. Outfitted with world-class microphones, interfaces, and pristine monitoring.
Designed specifically for beat-makers, producers, and writers. Acoustically treated rooms with multiple DAWs and top-tier monitoring — everything set up and ready when you walk in.
Plug and play. Fully backlined rehearsal rooms featuring professional drum kits, bass rigs, guitar amplifiers, and PA systems. Just bring your instruments.
A dedicated community space for meetings and workshops, plus flexible environments designed to accommodate podcasters, videographers, and photographers.
