New Joint Venture
Les Claypool was the owner/operator of Magnitude 8 Post from 1989 to 2016. In January 1992, he was approached by U.S. Renditions and L.A. Hero to provide audio services for their new joint venture of dubbing anime into English.
Early “garage studio days” projects include episodes of Orguss, Guyver, MacrossII, Ambassador Magma, and Giant Robo.
Quickly outgrowing the garage, Les’ facility eventually grew to encompass multiple rooms and two locations.
