ABOUT US

Have you spent countless hours watching studio sessions on YouTube? Have you seen how top producers work in legendary studios, with rare gear, perfectly treated rooms, and a sound aesthetic that feels hard to reach?


Well, at El Studió, you now have access to that same standard. Right here in Bucharest!
We built this place with one idea in mind: to let you record, mix, and master your music in the same conditions as the studios you admire.

IN SHORT
OUR SERVICES

Our studio is a one-stop shop for premium-quality music and audio production, offering pre-production and creative coaching services, as well as the infrastructure for “live in the studio” video productions, photo-video sessions, technical-artistic support for bands preparing tours, space for product presentations, gear/album launches, music-related seminars, and more.

OUR TEAM

To capture the best in an artist’s sound, you need studio professionals with both technical and musical expertise, as well as human experience and maturity in their relationships with artists. You need a team that is empathetic, multi-skilled, eclectic, and truly passionate about what they do.

​

At El Studió, we organize complex, demanding sessions. Whatever your needs are, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

​

One of the most important things our clients always mention is the personalized service they receive when working at El Studió. The feeling that their music is truly respected, and that everyone is giving their best to achieve the best possible result. All of this in an atmosphere where musicians and studio people feel good together.


That’s something we’re truly proud of.
