Scoring Stages: Paramount

Paramount Studios
Stage M

Located on the historic Paramount lot, the scoring stage originally opened in 1932. Opening later than the other scoring stages in early Hollywood, Stage M was connected to Stage 10 in the Bing Crosby Building. Until 1968 as the studio system died down, it is where the Paramount orchestra recorded. With subsequent renovations and improvements, Glen-Glenn Sound took over the stage for many years until Record Plant Scoring took over in 1982. Amid financial situations, the facility closed but reopened for more film scoring in 1992. Along with films and television series, many Star Trek scores were recorded there. Sadly, the stage closed in 2006 and all of the Bing Crosby Building (Stage 10, and assorted offices) were demolished in 2008 to house a new post-production facility.
