At the studio there is a focus on providing a friendly, personalised service for each project that is of the highest standards, while simultaneously aiming to make the studio accessible to a wide range of artists from beginners to professionals. We provide a service-focused environment where client (or artist) aims and expectations are the priority.

We don’t just record and create music; we are essentially a one-stop shop for all your musical needs — we provide sound advice about your music career, mentor your software and hardware training for your own music production at home or in the studio, can produce music videos, and design artwork for physical and online media such as CDs, vinyl records, press kits, websites, etc., and can also provide you with an excellent, realistic base from which to market and distribute your music once you’re ready to send your project out into the world. You’re most welcome to get in touch and chat about all your music needs.

All services below start at a base rate of $60 +GST per hour; however, if you’re on a tight budget, ask about our “project rate” — we are always negotiable, as what’s most important is to make your music happen.
