MUSIC RECORDING AND MIXING
Studio recording
Music recording studio in the Canberra / Queanbeyan region, since 1999
Infidel Studios provides high quality digital and analogue recording and mixing services for musicians, bands and artists of all genres. Depending on your need, we undertake all or any part of the recording process, from initial tracking through to the end of mix-down. Work with an engineer who understands what you are looking for, be it one of our engineers or a freelance engineer you bring with you.
Located in Queanbeyan, the studio has a variety of acoustic spaces of differing size, including a large room with enough space for the average-sized band to play live. We have a wide range of digital and analogue equipment to inspire your creativity, featuring an extensive selection of microphones, outboard mic pre-amps, compressors, effects and other esoteric gear. We also house a large collection of vintage keyboards and synthesisers.
Recording music on location
Quality recording of music in any location
Whether in a warehouse or a cathedral, or somewhere in between, Infidel Studios can record you where you make music. We can even go off grid.
We bring our expertise and a recording rig to your preferred space. Depending on the scope of your project, we scale the recording to meet your needs, from stereo through to 24-track, or even ambisonic .
Analog recording
Unique analogue recording services
At the heart of Infidel Studios is a deep love for vintage analogue music technology. We house a large collection of vintage recording equipment for musicians with a taste for the authentic analogue sound.
Our engineers are happy to provide advice and help you select the right equipment to produce the sound you desire for your project. If you are planning an analogue vinyl recording for release, we will prepare your music mix, ready for offsite mastering and pressing.
