Apex Studios was a recording studio in Manhattan, New York City. It had a high reputation for recording jazz. [1] It was located in the Beaux Arts Steinway building. The owner was Bob Scheuing. When Al Schmitt started in 1950, the two engineers were Fred Herbert Otto and Tom Dowd. [1]

Apex did almost all of the work for National, Atlantic, and Prestige record labels. [1]

Miles Davis's album Miles Davis and Horns was partly recorded here in 1951. Duke Ellington did a session with his son, Mercer. It was one of the first major sessions engineered by Al Schmitt. [1]

The studio also recorded radio shows for Voice of America in many languages. [1]

Artists that recorded at the studio included Charlie Parker, The Clovers, Clyde McPhatter, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Peppermint Harris, Lightnin' Hopkins. [1]

The studio went bankrupt and closed in the early 1950s.
