Special rates now on short sessions from just $99

Low rates for one, two and five hour sessions at Studio 52 now from just $99. If you have a small project to record or master or simply want to hear your voice recorded professionally for the first time now is the time to have a go! Normally recording studios are concentrated on larger projects that take up whole days, weeks or months of lockout for major projects, shorter sessions can be hard to get at a discount rate so this is a good opportunity to those who want to get a professional result but with an inexpensive session. Perfect for singers who need a demo to a backing track or singer songwriters who may sing and provide their own accompaniment or even bands wanting the 5 hour option or a short mastering session. These deals are even great if you have your own home studio but just need to do a professional vocal or mix session. Checkout the deals on Living Social right now or if you’re an existing client of Studio 52 call now to get the same great deals direct.

Our latest live sound gig, the amazing Stylus at Hotel Sorrento

Stylus at Hotel Sorrento. Our Live Sound business, Best Events supplied the PA and mixing for the opening of a new room at Hotel Sorrento last weekend. The dinner show featured the incomparable and brilliant sounds of Stylus featuring some of Australia’s best players and singers Peter Cupples and Doug Williams. Here is a video we took just with one hand held camera from the back of the room. The song is Summer Breeze, the classic Seals & Crofts song that was a great success for Stylus all those years ago back in the 70’s and Countdown era. The lineup includes original members Peter Cupples, Sam Mcnally and Ron Peers on guitar. Live Mix by Trevor Carter.

Brilliant monitoring sets us apart – Adam SX3-H in Studio C

In an age where so many lower cost home studios exist one of the remaining huge differences between studios is the quality of their monitoring. This has an impact on every recording and can be the difference when it comes to getting a mix right for  release. Few studios have monitoring as good as at Studio 52, each studio has its own choice, studio A has a combination of EMES Cyan with Adam midrange, EMES nearfield and JBL large monitors while studio B has EMES nearfield and the amazing and rare 3-way EAW 15’s. Studio C has the stunning ADAM S3X-H monitors which are simply breathtakingly good and must be heard to be believed! Come in and hear them now with any session in studio C and get the extra detail in your recordings.

the latest drum room at Studio 52 in studio C

Studio 52 has undergone some great updates recently with major improvements to Studio C. The studio has been extended with a new drum room, vocal iso booth and amp iso room. Here are some new pics from the update. Previously studio C was mainly for soloists and electronic production but now the studio can handle whole bands just like Studio A and B. This new drum booth has a very modern bright sound and is different to the other booths at Studio 52. Now drummers are spoilt for choice, each studio is also supplied standard with a high quality drum kit and cymbals but can also be replaced or supplemented with your own special kit. Studio 52 uses a combination of SE, Audio Technica and Sennheiser microphones along with TLA Valve Mic Preamps to get a world class drum sound giving drummers the absolute freedom to achieve their dream recordings. Studio C is also the home of resident top producer engineer Trevor Carter so the studio is the best choice for high quality music recordings of all genres. For home improvement services, see here for services.  Studio 52 is currently celebrating it’s 30th year in the recording business and next year will be the 20th annual songwriting and recording project for Kool Skools which has spawned countless musical careers. Call Paul Higgins on 0412686252 to get a deal on recording in this amazing studio.
