Two studios crammed with gear. A state-of-the-art control room.
And a vibe only a converted stone barn can provide.
Studio A
Our main cutting room is acoustically tuned to produce world-class recordings. Sound isolators and moveable gobos plus vintage, new, and task-specific mics create exactly the sound you’re after. Studio A is also available as a rehearsal space.
Studio B
Studio B provides an intimate setting for solo instruments, vocal performances, voice-over work, and streaming. Three isolation booths provide pristine recordings of vocals and instruments. And it's a great place for your next podcast.
Control Room + Lounge
BarnSound’s acoustic signature is warm, big, and bright thanks to the design of the rooms, top-tier vintage instruments, incredible audio gear, and the processing capabilities of the control room. Experienced ears and a splash of aged bourbon help, too!
