Fastlane Studios

The place has updated a lot over the years it can still use some more upgrades but it is trending in the right direction. The prices are cheap. If any equipment isn’t working the owner seems to work with u by making sure u are happy. Whether it be with a little extra free time or having better equipment the next time your band visits. Ive watched this place evolve and its great. The bathroom in the dungeon could use a good bleaching out.

EVERYBODY IS KIND AND HELPFUL AND I LOVE IT.
I’ve been coming here since 2009.
Rates are totally fair, equipment is awesome.
Never a complaint.

i live in flatbush and was getting really tired of schlepping up to bushwick to have band practice at the sweatshop. a friend let me know about fastlane and i’ve been nothing but impressed ever since. the rooms range in size from spacious to HUGE.
if you’re used to the sweatshop, all the gear at fastlane is a major step up. more powerful PA, waaay nicer drums & cymbals, nice high quality amps in good shape (ampeg, marshall etc., even a roland jazz chorus in most of (all?) the rooms). nice selection of auxiliary percussion if that’s what you’re after.
i think their cheapest room is $ 20/​hr, which doesn’t beat sweatshop’s cheapo $ 15 rooms, but those rooms suck, are tiny and have bad gear.
so if you’ve broken free of north brooklyn’s grasp and need a jam spot, or still live in bushwick but want to jam on nicer gear in a nicer room, hit up fastlane!!!

Everyone here is nice. i think this place is as described: a hit or miss. Perfect for bands but not so much for solo recording artist.

The rooms are good, the price is amazing, so you can’t go wrong!
A couple of things.
1: when asking for them to record your stuff. Make sure you ask them to check your levels so that when you record you don’t have just all base and drums.
2: lock your doors so that the neighborhood kid doesn’t walk in thinking it is his personal concert.
and to the Owner… do yourself a favor. Clean that Bathroom PLEASE… Place smells like a bum that pissed on himself and sat in the sun right after. Bleach does wonders as does switching out the piping behind the toilet that looks as though it’s a science experiment growing on it. Put one of those timed air freshners in there as well… Bathrooms aren’t suppose to smell like don’s john’s

Only decent rehearsal studio in Brooklyn, okay prices, the equipment there can be a hit or miss. The main guy who runs the place knows how to set you up and ready to go, the other schmucks not so much.
