Our Equipment
At Urban Studios we use a wide range of state of the art equipment, our pre and post production suites have some of the industry's most desirable equipment and the gear list is constantly growing.
We track all our sessions using a modern hybrid of boutique analogue pre amps and outboard with state of the art AD/DA converters. Once recorded everything is then summed in analog at our post production suite (The BatCave). The heart of our post production suite is the Rupert Neve 5060 Centerpiece, The RND gives a subtle but noticeable analogue 'Glue' to the sound and combined with our outboard equipment we get a great 'out the box' analog sound. We then combine that with over £12,000 of fully licensed software plugins along with virtual instruments and sample libraries.
Below we will list some of our equipment but the list is ever growing.
