Arrange. Play. Record.
Front Room Studios is a leading recording studio and mix suite located 7km out of the Melbourne's CBD in the Inner West suburb of Kingsville.
High-end gear, amazing instruments, gigabytes of samples, polished hardwood floorboards in great rooms and some classy mics makes it the perfect environment to capture and create the sounds that will help you make your recordings sound so good.
Andy & Mark are seasoned, professional session and live musicians with countless tracks, albums and songs under their collective belt. They want your music to sound on record as great as it does in your head, and will work until you've got what you want.
If you're a singer/songwriter who is yet to sign up a band, Front Room Studios can help!
Working closely with you to arrange your music, playing what they can and calling on their amazing list of session players to fill in the gaps, Front Room Studios can create the 'full band' experience for you and capture your song the way you want it played live when the band members sign up!
All of the recording packages at Front Room Studios include the use of the instruments and the services of Andy or Mark as session players with no extra charges. We can also contract session musicians if you require something outside our skill set!
Mix. Master. Set Free.
Mixing is an art form, and something that takes time, skill and a great set of ears. Front Room Studios can lend their ears to your project, whether you recorded it in the studio or not. Working primarily with Logic Studio, Front Room Studios can mix any project, whether you've created it in Pro Tools, Cakewalk's SONAR, Reaper or most other recording platforms.
Not sure if your project needs mixing? Get in touch and Front Room Studios can help you work out what your needs are to present your music in the best light possible.
Mastering: The Final Frontier - have you ever left the studio excited about your brand new recording that sounded so great on the studio monitors, only to put it in your car's CD player and find it sounding flat and toneless?
Mixing the record is one of the steps in producing your recording, but to get that radio 'sparkle', you need to visit a mastering house, where the best EQ, Compression and Limiting software and hardware combine to pump your tune out to make it a radio friendly, smooth, tight and loud recording.
At The Front Room Studio we are equipped for digital mastering, and service a large range of clients for the local, insterstate and more recently, overseas markets. We have the highest quality Linear Phase Equalizers, Compressors & Limiters and some pretty cool tricks up our sleeve to combine their efforts!
How does it work? Simple - the client brings in their FULLY MIXED stereo tracks, which they are happy with and ready to put onto CD to send off to the CD duplication plant, and we take each of the stereo tracks, make sure that their relative levels, compression and EQ are correct, process all the fade ins, out and cross-fades, and create a 'RED BOOK' image for burning to CD. This means that you leave our mastering house with a 16-bit, 44.1kHz industry standard digital format CD to have duplicated and hopefully sell in the millions!
Mastering is a specific and precise process, and our rates differ from our recording rates, please email or phone for more information.
