There are some classic synthesisers & samplers in the studio, but also a great selection of software synth's and sounds. The studio is running LOGIC-Pro-X with a Yamaha 02R digital desk. Mastering is done through a mixture of software and outboard equipment. Here a list of some of the gear:
The latest addition is a fully restored 1890's BECHSTEIN Grand Piano which can be hired for recordings (it has a beautiful sound) or small recitals. Hire cost is £25 p/h (in addition to studio rates). See photo below. You might have noticed that there is the sound-body of an old upright piano in the photo, which can be used for extra sustain. It can also be used as a reverb effect for any studio recordings.
