SECONDARY SOUND TRANSDUCTION ARTISTRY

About Me


BLACK WOOKIE has a NEW Home
Black Wookie has moved to it's new home in the SoundLocker Studios complex in Lancing, which offers a purpose built control and two 400sq ft live rooms.
We've replaced the Allen & Heath Saber Plus console with the legendary AMEK Angela, which came via the Lo Fidelity Allstars' sadly departed Brain Farm Studio, and linked that to the digital realm via a 24 io Pro Tools HD System, encorporating Apogee Rosetta convertion.
As well as all the new space there's an extended kit list (see below) including full back line.
All the same IN-STUDIO as well as ON-LINE services are still available.
Contact us at info@BlackWookie , for details and prices.
