Spaces

Tracking/Mixing

At Woodstock Studios’ heart is the large, open-plan tracking/mixing room. Designed to allow musicians to connect visually and sonically with band members and producer/engineers it features an immaculate 1970s Neve 8016 console that’s without a doubt the recording jewel of Melbourne. A huge collection of new and vintage outboard is racked and divides the space. A raised lounge, three keyboard zones and ample ‘ground zero’ playing space makes this room both practical and functional. It’s a whole lotta (serious) fun!

Drum Room

Woodstock’s mid-sized drum room is deceptively impressive. Why? Because its a reasonably tight space, however sonically, it’s the bomb! With ample close reflections and controlled dampening panels, the space crafts volume, punch and impact – effectively compressing a drum kit naturally. The result is a highly intelligent recording base; one that can be made ‘Beatles’ close/dry or dampened; or via the aid of vintage Neumann and/or Sony ‘tube’ ambient mics, made ‘John Bonham’ brighter, silkier and more energetically ‘live’. Put simply: it’s a room that must be heard!

Iso Booths

Woodstock Studios features two amplifier/strings/vocal ISO booths, situated close the tracking/mixing room console area. With each differing in size and acoustic treatments, the choice between tight/focused ‘dead’ separation vs. acoustics that are slightly brighter with soft transient reflections, do offer more choice. Pushing the boundaries further: ask about our ‘stairwell chamber’ space that crafts incredibly authentic renditions of 1960s echo chamber effects. It’s the real deal and it’s all here at Woodstock Studios.
