Are you looking to rent a music studio for a day in London? Sometimes, making music is a spontaneous thing. You don't always want to commit to hiring a studio for many months at a time. That's where a day-hire studio can be the perfect solution. If you just want to try out some new song ideas or experiment with some instruments, it's ideal. 

One place you might want to consider is Ten87's day hire studio, The Club. Situated in South Tottenham, a short distance from Underground and Overground railway stations, it's the perfect music studio for short-term rent in London. 

The building in which the studio now stands once used to be a popular underground venue. It has been fully equipped for recording and producing music, with precise acoustics, tall ceilings, and various musical instruments. This makes it great for musicians, singers and songwriters without much equipment of their own. You can hire the studio for the day, dive right in and start using all the instruments and equipment already there. 

So, you might be wondering, what instruments does this studio contain? Well, there are several guitars. You've got a Fender Strat 1969 custom USA, Fender Tele USA, an acoustic guitar, and a Fender Precision Bass. If pianos are your thing, there is a Yamaha C3 Grand Piano and a Rhodes 73 MK 1.

But it is perhaps KOMPLETE Kontrol by Native Instruments that is the most powerful tool in the studio. It is a powerhouse of virtual musical instruments and effects. It doesn't just contain electronic sounds from virtual synthesisers but many virtual recreations of traditional instruments. 

Here are some of the excellent instruments and effects included with Komplete:

  • 14 synthesisers, including Massive X, TRK-01, Reaktor 6, FM8, Absynth 5, Massive, Kontour, Monark, and Form.

  • 30 sampled instruments, including electric guitars, strummed acoustic guitars, grand pianos, electric pianos, African percussion, Middle Eastern percussion, Indian percussion, orchestral strings, and brass.

  • A selection of full drum kits.

  • 16 effects, including Guitar Rig 6 Pro, phaser, chorus, distortion, flanger, EQ, compression, and reverb.

As you can see, even though the studio is suited to playing traditional live instruments, there are also more instruments than you could ever need in virtual form. So whatever sounds you want on your recording, they are all there. 

But if you do want to use a whole bunch of real instruments, the live room has enough space for a 10-piece ensemble. So, for example, if you are a 5-piece rock band that wants to collaborate with a string quartet, it's perfectly suited to that.

As for recording and mixing, the control room has an SSL6032E console with 232 (Pulteg) EQ, flying faders, and total recall, making it great for those who want full control over their mixing sessions. And with the Genelec and TPI monitoring systems, you will surely hear everything crystal clear.

So, there you go. If you want to rent a music studio for a day in London, look no further than Ten87's The Club. Full of all the music-making equipment you could ever need, and with easy access to railway stations in South Tottenham, it's the perfect music studio for short-term rent in London.
