We don't place weekly restrictions on how much time you can spend in the studio.
The Bunker is our main studio and features 3 large recording spaces centred around the Audient ASP8024 HE large format recording console for analogue tracking and mixing. It is completely soundproof and so can be used 24 hours a day.
Our other studios include the Synth Lab which is designed for an electronic production workflow. We have a Critical Listening studio equipped with spatial audio and Dolby atmos, and a dedicated studio for mastering audio.
