Facilities
Recording Studio - Oaklands has recently completed construction on the new facility featuring a large tracking room, large mix room, smaller mix rooms and a few iso booths. Any ensemble can now be catered for in house, we can support ensembles from soloists through to Symphony Orchestra. This is a state of the art facility based on the ABC Studios at Southbank. The studio is being designed and built by acoustic guru Graham Thirkell.
All rooms in the facility are connected via video link, audio tie lines and a computer network system.
Control Room A - Control Room A is our premiere mix room, based around a 128 channel Harrison Series10 Console with full automation and flying faders this room can handle any mixing task. The room features a plasma screen built into the front wall for viewing film during a mix as well as a motorised drop down projector screen to use for bigger film mixing projects. Studio A also offers extensive video editing capabilies. All rooms in the facility can be viewed via video link on either the plasma or projector screen. We have just installed a 96I/O Pro Tools HD3 Accel System running on an 8 core Mac Pro in Control Room A, it is ready and waiting for work.
Studio A - Studio A is our premiere tracking room, it is a large room that can cater for any ensemble up to a 50 piece orchestra. This room is perfect for film orchestra recording as it can cater for the size of the ensembles as well as offers a 150" projector screen that the musical director can view the film on as the ensemble is recording ensuring the music is in sync with the vision. The room acoustics have been specifically designed for large ensemble recording and the modular acoustic panels can be moved around to cater for the desired sound. There is a Decca Tree permanently flown in the room using Neumann microphones so a session can be up and running in a matter of minutes. We also have over 50 pairs of high quality Sennheiser headphones for large ensemble tracking sessions. All rooms in the facility can be viewed via video link on either the plasma or projector screen.
Control Room B - Control Room B is a smaller copy of Control Room A, it is located next to our vocal, amp and drum booths, this four room combination is our typical band tracking studio, each room offers different acoustic properties from completely dead sounding to quite live. These rooms can also be linked to our two larger rooms for bigger projects. As the whole facility is linked together clients can track in Studio A then move to Studio B for editing and overdubs and return to Studio A for mixing. Control Room B also doubles as a video edit suite and another tracking space (good alternative to our drum booth if you want a really tight drum sound). All rooms in the facility can be viewed via video link on either the LCD screens. We have just installed a full HD (1920x1080) Plasma Screen in this studio to cater for HD Video projects, an Avid system is due for installation within the next few months.
Studio B (Drum Booth) - Studio B is our dedicated Drum Booth however it can be used for all kinds of recording. The rooms is designed to be quite diffusive and really give punch to the drum sound, bigger budget projects can utilise our premiere Studio A tracking space for drum recording and Control Room B is an alternate drum tracking space for an ultra tight drum sound..
Studio C (Amp Booth) - Studio C is our dedicated Amp Booth and features a combination of diffusive and absorbive elements. With the different acoustic properties around the room any desired sound can be achieved.
Studio D (Vocal Booth) - Studio D is our dedicated vocal and voice over booth. It offers a completely reflection free environment in which to record vocals and any other instrument you want recorded without reflection.
Control Room C - Control Room C is a dedicated audio editing and video editing suite, it is located upstairs at our facility and joins onto the preproduction and lounge area.
Preproduction Studio - The Preproduction Studio is located upstairs in our facility and features 48 channels of audio going to either of the three control rooms. This area can be used to work on songs, rehearse or just chill out on the couches, play some pool or watch TV on the 60" screen.
Machine Room - The Machine Room is where the brains of the studio lie, everything in the facility comes back to this room, it's where all the loud machines hang out and where most of the computers are located. This room ensures all the control rooms and recording spaces stay silent and can contact all of the other rooms in the facility.
