        For 45 years La Louisianne studios have recorded musicians from all over the world......a continuing dream that Carol Rachou brought to life with a single Telefunken microphone and a Ampex 351 single track tape recorder.  Today, his son David continues the tradition with state of the art digital and analog equipment along with a fabulous collection of vintage microphones.

     The thousands of musicians who have recorded in the studio over the years have created that "La Lou Vibe" which is so often captured in today's recordings. Whether it's Cajun, Zydeco, Swamp Pop, R&B are any other syle, your music can also be part of the history to.....
the studio that music built!

This allows the client increased flexability for their editing and mixing requirements. Got analog? Yep! We also have the MCI JH-24 two inch 24 track tape recorder.

Our vintage microphone collection consists of the finest names in the recording world. Telefunken, Neumann, AKG, Beyer, RCA, Sennheiser, Sony, Electro Voice & Shure are some of the mics that we have acquired throughout our 45 years. In the late 1950's, Carol Rachou purchased a brand new Telefunken Elam-250-E for a whopping $250......This mic is now sought after by the worlds leading recording engineers and demands a five figure price tag. In todays digital recording enviroment, quality microphones are a necessity in the recording studio.
