Do I suit this property and lifestyle?

The studio is equipped with a range of recording equipment to enable solo singers through to live band recordings and mixing, ready for mastering. The system used is an industry standard Pro tools Digi 002.

The studio area is large enough to set up a live band for rehearsals and live take recordings. It has a separate sound proof control room where the person recording the session is set up with full view of the musicians. This is a rare feature in home studios.

This is a great opportunity for the teenagers to develop their talents as musicians or recording engineers without the expense and without having to leave the home. Listen to some music recorded here on universalrecords.co.nz

ROCKSTAR The studio has a boutique business of recording singers' voices on their chosen backing tracks. It's very popular for wedding, Christmas and birthday gifts. You don't need to be a sound engineer to operate the Rockstar sessions, this is quite easy to learn (training can be provided) and would be a great sideline earner for parents or older children.

Previously used by one of Michael Jackson's guitarists and Simple Mind's bass player.
