FLYING BELUGA STUDIO

Beluga Studios is a production and recording studio based in Margate, UK.

Comprising of three rooms containing a wide range of instruments and equipment, Beluga’s vision is to provide a creative, fun and flexible music-making environment that is centred around the artist’s needs. Rooted in both vintage and current sound worlds, Beluga is ideal for elevating productions, sculpting sonics, experimenting with tones, synth sessions, and is equally at home as a space for writing sessions.

Studio

Main Room

Control Room, Synth Room

Centred around a 1970’s Trident Fleximix console and a healthy amount of outboard equipment.

Room two

Live Room, EP room

This space can be configured in different ways: a traditional live room (with lines feeding the Main Room) as well as a self-contained production space able to operate independently from the Main Room.

Room three

Drum booth, Vocal Booth, Amp Room

This room works well when a controlled, (dry) acoustic is needed.
