At our London recording studio, great sound doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of experience, attention to detail, and carefully chosen equipment that brings out the best in every performance. That’s why at Select Recording Studios, we maintain a detailed and transparent gear list, available to review on our website, and we update it weekly to ensure our setup remains current, reliable, and industry-ready.
We believe artists deserve to know exactly what they’re recording through. Whether you’re a solo vocalist, a band, or an artist working on full music production, the tools used in your session play a huge role in the final result. Our commitment to excellence starts with the gear and ends with release-ready music.
Weekly Equipment Updates: Staying Ahead of the Curve
Music production technology evolves constantly, and we make it a priority to evolve with it. Our equipment list is reviewed and updated on a weekly basis, allowing us to refine our setup, introduce new tools, and retire anything that no longer meets our standards.
This ongoing investment ensures that artists who walk into our studio are working with equipment that reflects modern production demands while still respecting the character and warmth of classic recording techniques. We don’t chase trends blindly, but we do stay informed, making thoughtful upgrades that genuinely improve sound quality and workflow.
Our full gear list is always available on our website, giving artists full transparency before they even step into the studio.
Vocal Chains Designed for Every Voice
No two voices are the same, and we strongly believe vocal recording should never be “one size fits all.” At our North London recording studio, we offer a strong selection of top-quality vocal chains designed to suit different voice types, genres, and performance styles.
From clean and detailed vocal recordings to warm, character-driven tones, our setup allows us to match the right microphone, preamp, and processing chain to the artist. This flexibility ensures that singers, rappers, and voice artists leave with recordings that feel natural, powerful, and true to their sound.
Our engineers take the time to listen and adjust, making sure every vocal session captures the finest possible performance rather than relying on heavy fixes later.
Analogue & Valve Gear for Depth and Character
While digital tools are essential in modern production, analogue and valve equipment still play a crucial role in achieving depth, warmth, and musical character. That’s why our studio features a carefully selected range of analogue and valve compressors and preamps.
These tools help us capture performances with clarity while adding subtle harmonic richness that plugins alone can’t always replicate. Whether it’s smoothing out dynamic vocals, adding weight to instruments, or enhancing presence without harshness, our analogue gear allows us to shape sound at the source.
By focusing on high-quality signal capture during recording, we reduce the need for excessive processing later, resulting in cleaner mixes and more natural-sounding tracks.
Acoustics and Signal Path Matter
Great gear only performs at its best in the right environment. Our studio rooms are acoustically treated to ensure accurate recording and monitoring, allowing both artists and engineers to trust what they’re hearing. This is especially important for vocal recordings, where room reflections and noise can easily compromise quality.
Combined with our professional signal chain, this controlled environment helps us consistently deliver recordings that translate well across all playback systems, from headphones to car speakers and club sound systems.
Release-Ready Music for All Platforms
Our goal is simple: every artist should leave the studio happy and confident in the quality of their music. From recording to final mix, our equipment and workflow are designed to produce songs that are release-ready for all major streaming platforms.
Whether you’re preparing your first single or finishing a full project, our studio setup supports industry standards for clarity, loudness, and balance, ensuring your music sounds competitive in today’s market.
Transparency, Quality, and Artist Satisfaction
At Select Recording Studios, we take pride in our gear, but even more pride in how it serves the artist. By keeping our equipment list detailed, up to date, and publicly available on our website, we give artists confidence and clarity before booking.
Our continued investment in high-quality equipment reflects our commitment to excellence, creativity, and artist satisfaction. When you record with us, you’re not just booking studio time — you’re working in a space built to bring out the best in your music.
