We encourage you to contact us directly to discuss your project, so that we can work out a budget and recording plan that will work for you.
At La Chunky we understand that recording artists and bands have many different requirements and budgets. For this reason we would prefer to meet potential clients to discuss how we can tailor the recording session to meet their needs within their budgets.
La Chunky is a high end studio and we have a treasure trove of vintage recording kit and microphones at our disposal. We recognise that in today’s straitened times bands and recording artists are looking for the best possible value when they embarking on a recording project, whether it's a single, EP, album or demo, so unlike many studios we make no additional charge for the use of our rarest and most valuable instruments, amps and recording equipment.
We look forward to hearing from you.
