Recording Studio London: Vintage vs Modern Recording

For artists looking for a recording studio in London that seamlessly blends the warmth of vintage sound with cutting-edge modern technology, Ten87 Studios stands out as a premier destination. With a thriving community of over 150 recording artists across 50 state-of-the-art studios, we have cultivated an environment where creativity flourishes. Our mission has always been to provide long-term, high-spec studio spaces that meet the evolving needs of today’s musicians while preserving the character and soul of analog recording.

Recording Studio London – The TEN87 Experience

At Ten87, we understand that artists and producers often crave the warmth and organic sound of vintage equipment while also needing the efficiency and flexibility of modern technology. That’s why we’ve designed our studios to incorporate both.

Our day hire studios, such as The Club, exemplify this approach. This flagship space features a vintage SSL E series console, celebrated for its warm analog sound, integrated with modern recall systems to ensure seamless compatibility with all DAWs and personal laptops. This blend allows artists to enjoy the best of both worlds—timeless sound quality with contemporary workflow efficiency.
