How we work
At the barn, remotely with a producer on the call, or on-location with the mobile kit. The same standard, the same producer-led way of working, either way.
Come to Chichester and record in the studio at the barn. The fullest version of what we do.
Whole-day takeovers and multi-day production blocks are common for agencies and networks.
See the setups →When a guest or host cannot get to the barn, we still produce the session properly.
Best when you want the production lift of a studio session without the travel.
Talk about a remote session →We bring the mobile studio to your venue. Same kit, same producer, set up around your event or office.
Tell us the date and the address and we will come back with a number.
Talk about on-location →Whichever way you record, we can also run full branded content campaigns through our parent company, Virtual Studio Event, from strategy through to the social cut.
Off-site recording, in detail
Remote and on-location sessions are run the same way as a barn session. A producer is in charge, the kit is broadcast-grade, and the files come back ready to publish or hand to your editor.

Why we built this
Most podcast studios are designed by sound engineers for sound engineers. The result is reliable acoustics in a windowless box. Fine for the sound, less fine for the guest who's about to spend four hours in there.
We thought it was worth caring about the room as well. So when we found a 16th-century barn with the original timber frame still intact, we fitted it out for audio and video production without sanding the character off.
One room, four and a half metres square, treated properly and reset between sessions. Soundproofing where it has to be, an engineer in the room, and a barn that has been a working building for four hundred years around you.
It's not for everyone. London is closer for most clients. But if you've ever spent a day in a nine-by-six box, you'll understand why we did it.
