Venue

Mix Artist Studio

OK, I may be biased but I reckon this music recording studio is by far the best bang-for-buck in the Byron Bay area. Expect a high-end result at a surprisingly affordable rate. Rooms: 1 spacious control room with a 36ch large-scale analogue console, beautiful outboard gear and Pro Tools HD/Ultimate. 3 separate live rooms, all with daylight and large windows for line-of-sight. The entrance area doubles as 4th live room Instruments available: a full drum kit (Tama, Ludwig, Zildjian), upright piano, guitar amp. The studio rooms have been planned and built by no one less than John Sayers and the acoustics are world-class. I've got >20 years of experience as a recording and mixing engineer. This studio is capable of recording an entire band live. House engineer: Jan 'Yarn' Muths
