Make your music stand out with the big label productions and get it professionally arranged, recorded and mixed all in one place. We are one of the only studios in town to provide songwriters with production packages that include Musicians, Arrangement, Recording Studio, Producer and Engineer all together.
We can also write with you or for you, play with you or for you, enhance your original arrangements, record and mix your music in a great recording studio packed with all the instruments and equipment you’ll ever need.

We have a great range of recording packages that cater for singer/songwriters, recording artists, all sorts of recording and mixing projects including music for film and TV. We also have a Virtual Studio wherever you are you can always have access to our recording, mixing and live instruments recording services without having to move from home. Send us your files and arrangements via FTP or post it to us and we'll do the rest* (*check virtual studio in blog for more details.)
The staff includes 2 well respected Sydney Producers, Louis Schoorl and Steeve Body. They are both engineers, composers and multi-instrumentalists and have recorded and produced a wide variety of projects in many different genres. They are very versatile and will suit most productions needs.
