Propagation house studio
Propagation House is a fully residential recording facility set in stunning rural countryside on the Cornwall/Devon border.
We have a choice of live rooms, ranging from the large, live and open sound of the 9m x 6m conservatory, to the drier, tight, treated original live room. There’s a dead room for isolating amps, and you can even record outside if the weather is nice.
The accommodation sleeps up to 10, with 5 double/twin rooms, and a large farmhouse style kitchen. The conservatory also doubles as a break out space for rehearsing / writing / relaxing.
Head to the studio page for more info – or give me a shout via the booking page.
