A very brief history: Chamber studio began life back in 1986. Jamie Watson opened his first studio in the basement of a shop on Lady Lawson street, Edinburgh. Around a year later, at the end of 1987, Jamie took over a property at Westfield Road, next to Murrayfield stadium. For the next 5 years, Jamie built the studio up there before finally moving down to West Granton Road in 1993 to build the studio where Chamber would stay for the next 30 years.
In March 2010, Jamie handed the reins on to a new owner, Graeme Young. For another 13 years, Graeme would continue to build upon the reputation Chamber had earned under Jamie’s leadership until in March 2023, he closed down operations at West Granton Road.
But we’re not done yet…

STUDIO UPDATE: As promised, here is an update of what’s happening. From mid March of this year, Chamber Studio will cease trading. However, this does not mean that the humans involved are stopping making records. Quite the opposite. The building ownership will pass to Marty Hailey of and the spaces will be slightly reconfigured to suit the needs of not just him, but of and to allow them all to continue working in their own spaces in their own ways. I (Graeme) am in the process of building myself a private studio space in Leith to continue working from. More updates on that soon. In short, the building, spaces and music makers will continue much as they have done but Chamber Studio as an entity is, for now at least, coming to an end. We still have a little space available for bookings before we wrap up and new websites for all the engineers will all be launched in due course. More updates and progress will follow but for now, that should clarify what’s happening in the short term.
As always, if anyone has questions about any of this, please do get in touch. Thank you. Graeme.x

Hello everyone. As most of you will know, I’ve owned / run Chamber studio for the best part of 13 years now. It’s been the making of me in many ways, but it’s also taken it’s toll. Investing all my energies into growing a business has been very rewarding but it’s also worn me down and left me creatively lagging. I’ve explored so many avenues to try and rectify the balance between business and creativity but I have come to a simple conclusion…I simply don’t want to run a business. The opportunity to take on Chamber and everything that came with it was truly special and I don’t regret anything, but it’s time to move on.
So, as sad as it may be, I am selling the studio. There are a few options on the table at present and no firm decisions have been made. But I am confident that it will continue to be a building where great records are made, regardless of what happens to the name / me etc.
I will still keep making music and will be setting myself up in my own private studio space. Its such a privilege to be part of the creative process / scene but I would like to do it on my own terms..choose the records I work on more closely and invest more time and energy into the art rather than running a commercial entity.
This hasn’t been an easy decision to come to, but now I have, I truly feel a weight has been lifted and I know it’s the right thing to do, whatever the outcome.
I have some exciting new things on the horizon and I’ll share those when the time is right.
For now, the studio will keep working away as it always has. This transition won’t happen until at least the end of this year or early into next and we’ll keep you up to date when we have firm plans. We are still open for bookings and will give everyone plenty notice of any changes.

Anyone who has questions about any of this, please do just get in touch either here or via email.

So much love to you all. Thank you. Graeme. X 📸

Our Homie down the Hall just went and started a record label!!

From full scale production to engineering and session work Marty Hailey’s kicks ass.
The addition of a record label is the realisation of a long standing dream for Marty and we couldn’t be more proud of this amazing human!
First release with the insanely talented is brimming with synth pop ear worms and is out now.

Go spend that hard earned cash money!

We had a wonderful response to our first Forum so we have lined up a few more events for the rest of the year.
The idea began as a forum to allow young
engineers / enthusiasts to come and pick our brains
about recording / mixing etc, but we hope it can grow
into a wider conversation about music, creativity and
the building of a community and the sharing of
knowledge. We’ve had to ticket the events to keep
numbers in line with regulations so if you want one,
you can find them at the link below or through our Linktree.
As tickets are scarce we will be limiting them to one per person for the remainder of the events this year.
Hope to see you then, spread the word!

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life...
'Dolly' Parton

Burn out is often worn as a badge of honour in this industry but remember to take some time for yourself.
If you or anyone you know is struggling, there is no shame in reaching out or asking for help.
There are beautiful humans working at and their service who can offer support and guidance across the board. Go show them some love for the incredibly selfless work they do to help build and strengthen the music community!
