Breakhouse Studio is a recording facility outside Bergen
that has been on the scene since 1997, operated by myself, Stein Inge
Braekhus. Having worked as a musician for many years, I´ve been
playing on a diverse range of records. I´ve always been interested
and focused on how to get the music sound good in the
studio. After playing in many different musical situations, and listening
to the craft of different musicians and sound engineers over the
years, I got the inspiration to establish a recording studio.
When I was working for TV 2 in Bergen in the mid 90´s, I heard they
were going to sell their grand piano from their first TV studio. I was
lucky enough to become the buyer of their Steinway & Sons Model C
grand piano! This great acoustic instrument is maybe the raison d'être
for starting up my recording studio in the first instance. Piano samples
would never have existed had it not been for the authenticity of such
a beautiful thing as a Steinway & Sons grand piano, or indeed, a Bösendorfer.
Its as simple as that.
Since then I´ve added a wealth of great microphones, a solid Digidesign
Pro Tools HD Accel 4 rig and recently twelve new NEVE 1081R mic pre-amps
and two channels of the NEVE 1073 DPD mic pre-amps. The latter-mentioned
two items is maybe the smartest studio gear one can get, particularly
if you want to achieve a good and realistic 'snapshot' of a sound you
want people listen to!
