The Parlor Recording Studio

The Parlor Recording Studio is a top of the line music recording facility located in the Irish Channel neighborhood of uptown New Orleans. Created in partnership between producer/engineer Matt Grondin and music industry entrepreneur Judy Van Zant, with construction and design by the same crews who built Blackbird Studio in Nashville, The Parlor offers large acoustic spaces and finely tuned rooms with plenty of isolation, as well as a live echo chamber. The studio is heavily focused on preserving classic recording gear, including our all-discrete Neve 8078 console with Flying Faders, and we offer analog tape recording coupled with, of course, digital recording to Pro Tools HDX for those who like their modern conveniences. We have some of the finest in vintage equipment, including original Neumann, Telefunken, and RCA microphones, compressors galore, and classic keyboards and guitar amps.
