Hope Mill Recording Studios

General information

Hope Mill Recording Studios are based in a grade 2 listed Mill in Ancoats/New Islington, Manchester. Right in the heart of the city's illustrious music scene.
The studios have a great mix of both analogue and digital technology.

All rooms have been carefully considered for their acoustic properties. There are some great recording environments mixing varying degrees of diffusion & absorbtion, from semi anechoic to highly reflective, it's all covered. The control rooms are designed to give a nice even & balanced response too. All rooms have natural daylight.

The live space is a great sounding room to capture that classic “ambient” sound. There is also an acoustically treated iso-booth for recording vocals and instruments in complete isolation.

The studios were built with precise studio acoustics with musicians in mind. Hopefully we have created a friendly, homely environment which is conducive for making great music.

We’ve filled the studios with first rate technology such as an Amek Einstein 40 channel mixing console and a fine collection of mics and pre-amps. We also have a growing collection of classic analogue gear such as; amps, pedals and vintage tape machines.
