Stagedoor has finally opened its recording studio doors. We've amassed equipment that delivers quality at affordable rates. 

So what does all this mean? Firstly, a complete facility for recording demos, singles and albums at realistic prices without compromising quality. Secondly, we offer recorded rehearsals at dearer than rehearsal but cheaper than recording rates. Why recorded rehearsals? For the serious musician, these allow you the window to look at your music for production purposes. During rehearsal, when the volume is at 12 on a scale of 10 and everybody is firing and feeling good, you think its fantastic. The recorded rehearsal will reveal that the screaming guitar solo of 308 bars may need to be a tad shorter ( by 10 bars ), or those vocal harmonies may need a little more polishing, and so on. A procedure worth its weight in dB.
O.K., so many of you have recording set ups in the lounge or bedroom. We can be of benefit to you ( and your neighbours ) by tracking the drums in the studio, or providing the professional vocal sound you're after. On the other side of the coin, once all the tracks are down, bring the material into the control room to do the final mix in an environment that provides accurate monitoring , so that what you hear is what you get - supplemented with oodles of FX gear sitting in the Pro-Tools rig.

The heart of the control room features state of the art Pro-Tools TDM Mix Plus, virtually 84 track recording. Add to this the classic sound of concentric cone Tannoy monitors, and of course, Yamaha NS10M near field monitors. The console is a A beautifully warm sounding British made, "DDA 24 channel console", with Penny & Giles faders, and to this ensemble will soon be married a 16 track 1" analogue recorder/reproducer.

The studio itself harbours a smorgasbord of mics, featuring AKG 414 EB, 2x D2O's,1x D224, a splattering of Sennheisers- lot of 441's, 421's, 211's, 409 and 509; 2 x Calrec CM1050 C's, Neuman KM84i, Shure 57's and 58's, and vintage Telefunken.

Affordable prices. $75.00 per hour or a 10 hour block at $600.00. Including GST and a huge range of engineers. Also musicians personnel available including experienced producers, and song writers at your request.
