Bio
.... The Past.... .... Element Studio was set up in the summer of 2008 by musician and studio manager Dave Runkee. It was Dave's plan to create a quality but affordable recording facility in Hull, where bands of all types could lay down professional recordings for a reasonable price, whether it be a demo an EP or an album. .... After a lot of hard work, finding a suitable site (just above the Chocolate Factory rehearsal rooms), building the facility and budgeting and buying equipment Dave had himself a studio. The studio was great and ran well over the coming months giving plenty of local bands good recordings and friendly service. .... In late 2008 Dave invited round a recording engineer friend and MSP production company owner (Dan Foster) to look at his studio in use. Dan, an experienced engineer, was very impressed with the hard work and effort that had been put in by Dave and felt that the studio was a great starting point that would lend itself very well to an expansion, mainly due to the location and the amount of free units available next to the current studio. It was with this in mind that Dan decided to pile his time, money and effort into joining Dave for the expansion of Element Studio and a joining forces of Element and Music Speaks Productions. The pair took on a unit next to the current live room, that would become the new studio's control room, and set about building a top notch, exciting new recording studio in the heart of Hull. .... In March 2009, after many long days and nights of manual labour (building a new control room from scratch), Dave and Dan quit music and became professional builders! Or at least they could have done. No, instead, in March 2009 all their hard work became apparent as their new studio opened its doors and began recording as Hull's (let's say the north's) most exciting new professional recording studio. .... .... The Present.... .... Element Studio boasts a range of quality facilities such as a professional sound designed control room, a spacious treated live room and two further recording booth's for either vocals or guitar/bass. The studio also boasts a healthy range of quality microphones and equipment that includes the following: .... • Soundcraft 6000 36 channel Bantam patch bay professional recording console. .... • Adam S2a professional monitors .... • Royer R121 Ribbon, Neumann M147 valve, Neumann KM184 x2, Audio Technica 4033 x3, AKG C414 uls, Sennheiser MD421, Sennheiser MD441, AKG D112, Gefell MV692, SE electronics Gemini valve microphone and many more.... .... • Universal Audio Class A Pre Amps x3 .... • TL Audio Crimson/ EQ2 series Preamp/ EQ .... • Focusrite Green Preamp/EQ .... • Lexicon PCM 60/70 reverbs .... • Drawmer valve compression .... • Professional mix computer utilising UAD mix cards and TC Electronic processors. .... In addition to this the studio has access to a chill out room containing a TV, comfy seating and food and drink facilities. .... .... The Future.... .... So, what does the future hold in store for Element Studio? Well, the coming months will see further expansion and development of areas of the live room and vocal/ guitar booths as well as a host of talented musicians passing through its doors. There will be continuous deals popping up at various times and exciting affiliations with various industry players to pitch talent to. .... Nobody knows exactly where the studio will be in one, five or ten years time but if all the hard work undertaken in the last year is anything to go by then the sky is the limit! If I were you, I would keep watching this space! ........Contact Us........
