World-class in Kansas City
Our physical design is part of what makes THE PUNCH recording studio an ideal place to record in Kansas City. We offer four separate rooms to help isolate different instruments, with great sight lines for visual cues. If you prefer to capture a more live vibe, we have a spacious live room capable of fitting a mid-sized orchestra. We also feature one of the most accurate listening environments in the region, which means that what you're hearing out of the speakers is what is actually being recorded.
We want you to be comfortable while you work on your project, so we’ve got lots of space in our control room for you to stretch out and relax. We also have a host of other amenities, including:
-- kitchen alcove with microwave, fridge and ice maker
-- lounge with ping-pong and cable TV
-- private restrooms
-- wireless internet
-- client computer
-- loading dock for easy load in/out
