A premier recording studio in Cornwall

The VIP Lounge is a fully equipped recording, mixing and mastering studio located in Penzance, Cornwall

Since opening in 2001, The VIP Lounge has become one of the most popular studios in the South West. Its relaxed, comfortable ambience combined with its consistently high standards ensures it is the number one choice for local bands and artists.

The studio is now building a national and international reputation, with clients from London, France, Norway and the US having recently used the facility.

Experienced engineer/producer Dare Mason

Run by engineer/producer Dare Mason (Placebo, The Church, The Blow Monkeys, Soul II Soul, Thirteen Senses) the studio specialises in recording music played by real musicians, from rock to jazz to classical and all points in between. Many former clients have been offered record deals on the strength of tracks they have recorded at the VIP Lounge and songs produced by Dare are regularly played on local and national radio.

The studio combines state of the art digital equipment with classic outboard effects, a bespoke mixing console and vintage instruments and amplifiers.

However, the VIP Lounge is more than just a recording studio. We also offer online mixing, an advanced engineering course and the unique and fabulous In Deep Music Archive.
