In 1989, the studios were acquired by Allen Sides and renamed Ocean Way Recording. In 1999 Rick Adams purchased the 'Western' studios and renamed it Cello Studios. In January 2006 it was acquired by Doug Rogers and after two years of construction, it reopened as EastWest Studios. Today each studio now operates independently. EastWest Studios occupies the former Western Recorders and United Recording is still located at 6050 Sunset Boulevard.
