The Front Room Studios :: Recording :: Mastering

Front Room Studios are a new vibrant business, maintaining a profile both in the real world and online - we do sometimes, in our down time, get distracted by the wonders of the electric internet, and when we do, we visit these sites - please enjoy.

Andrew Zito Online: The Web-home of Australian Singer/Songwriter Andrew Zito, featuring an online store, gig guide, news, a gallery & lyrics. Andrew is currently working on his forthcoming album 'Songs For Sensitive Ears...' at Front Room, and hopes to have it finished mid-2007.

The New Rebellionators: A Melbourne-based genre-parody band featuring one of Front Room's favourite session musicians, Mark Zito as well as Chaz Sexton, Nick McKenna & Joe Billings. Please visit their page only if you have a sense of humour, I can't vouch for the content, but the music is great.

James Smith: A Melbourne-based singer/songwriter who recently recorded his fantastic debut EP in the Front Room, and will be returning in late 2007 to record his debut album!

Calamity Studios, Singapore: Paul Russell's AV studio, producing some fantastic sounds and sights.

Glue Multimedia & Au4 Audio: Two fantastic multimedia companies.

Budget Creations: Maine (US)-based Jeff Noel's Creative Services Company.

The Exile Collection: An interesting journey through a selection of international music from a very talented bunch of people from all over the world. Graphic Design, Layout & Photography for the First Exile Collection were created at Front Room.

Bob Katz's Mastering Honour Roll: The best sounding recordings make it to this list - we'll have one on there one day.

The Melbourne Bluegrass Project: Melbourne's hardest working Bluegrass act, featuring the music of the traditional, current and original bluegrass genre. Keep your eyes peeled for this dynamic young cabaret-style bluegrass show.

Cakewalk: The creators of the most powerful PC-based recording solution we've found! SONAR is a key part of the Front Room's arsenal of state-of-the-art software, and we wouldn't be where we are today without them.

Recording/Pre-production tips: Australian-based producer Zdenek Styk has written a short list of tips to think about before and during your sessions - not comprehensive, but a good read nonetheless.
