Great sound . space and location. Ducked off but convenient.

Its a cool spot,lots of different options as far as musical instruments you can use throughtout your stay. But the bathrooms are grotesque and there is one female who hops from room to room getting s****faced starting problems with everybody and its extremely annoying, carpets need some tender love and care and the entire place smells like a saloon... Other than that experience was nice

Zach is an AUDIO ANGEL! He helped me figure out the cheapest and easiest audio routing setup for my room. Also this place is open super late. They are super handy and extremely useful!

Great rehearsal spot. Yeah it reeks of weed. Soundproofing isnt the greatest. But its inexpensive and always open

Ca

Great rooms with option of included amps, pa system, drums. Cool atmosphere, the entry area almost reminds me of a hostil.

Great inexpensive practice rooms. The staff were great and helped a few out of towners get together for a fun jam. Had everything we needed.

This an excellent rehearsal space. There is plenty of sound insulation. And the rates are quite reasonable!

Great music spot. They have a lot of space. The rooms are a decent size. Not necessarily sound proof so sometimes youll catch some noise from a room or two but for the most part its a decent space. Lots of parking too.

Review №12

Soundproof rooms - Not even close. Bands on the left, bands on the right, coming through the wall all at once. I could not even hear myself think. If youre a loud rock band, it might be for you. Anything else, dont waste your time there.

Review №13

My band always rehearse here before a show. Its reasonable rates for what you get and each room is sound proofed well. Youre going to get bleed from other bands, thats to be expected. For the purpose it serves it is perfect for us. And they have PA systems in each room and a nice shop for drinks, sticks, instruments and other accessories.

Great rehearsal space! Affordable rates, plenty of rooms and parking. Includes a store where you can buy gear and accessories and also an awesome little cafe.

Review №15

Excellent, convenient space for practicing with a lot of character. Extremely helpful staff that go above and beyond, and good pricing, especially for Austin. The in house store is full of all the essentials, as well, so even if you forget strings or picks or doodads you may be able to find them here-- especially helpful if youre here past when everything else is closed and you break a string or some such.

Cool place to hear a variety of music under one roof. Plus they have an Awesome little Cafe as soon as you walk in the building. The two owners are really nice.

Review №17

Very helpful staff. Great prices in their store. I go most usually to shop at the music store. I have used their rehearsal spaces in the past and have always had a good experience with the space, provided equipment, amenities provided to assist with load in/out, etc.

Review №18

This place is perfect for practicing with full sound with your band. The various sizes of rooms they have can fit basically any size of band you may have. They also have a truly massive amount of room available to choose from, even one that has a full blown stage! Not to mention they also have studios to record your music in for the right price. The only reason why I cant give Music Lab 5-stars is because it is definitely outdated and a bit run down. There are other rehearsal studios in Austin that are definitely higher quality in terms of the rooms themselves and the gear provided. However, you can feel the history at the St. Elmo music lab. Definitely worth checking out and jamming if you need a space to practice at and live anywhere near south Austin!

Music Lab is a great place to bump into fellow creatives, collaborate, and keep up with the local music scene. Bathrooms are always clean and there is a cool CBD Cafe & a thrift shop inside.

Review №36

This place is all right- when rent is split up between a couple of bands, its pretty affordable... and worth the money to have your stuff stored somewhere other than your (read- my) living room.

If you need rehearsal space in the ATX, Music Lab is the only real choice. Good rates, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and no cops knocking on the door telling you to turn down.
