Recording studio

Located in Monthey, 20 minutes from Montreux, we welcome you in a warm environment.

Studio A

Spread over two floors, the studio is split over two rooms: Studio A is the technical core of la Digue 18.

From there, it is possible to record and control all rooms. Due to its construction and balanced acoustics, the sound is slightly muted.

Studio B

With wider acoustics, Studio B can be modified to change its natural reverb thanks to the easily movable isophonic panels. It can also be used as a practice room.

But that's not all ! The other rooms (kitchen and hallways) can be used for recording to enrich your creativity and elevate your sound.

We welcome you with the sound engineer of your choice for all your recordings.

Recording as well as mixing are possible in our premises.
Mastering can be done with one of our partners.

Our studio being equipped with analog and digital material, we propose a hybrid workflow.

Residence

When it comes to creation, any artistic project requires total immersion in order to connect to oneself and, if there are any, to the other band's members.

For this purpose, we offer the possibility to book the studio for a residence from 1 to 4 days.
