MUSCLE MOTHERSHIP STUDIO
Muscle Mothership Productions' recording studio is located in the Inner West Melbourne suburb of Footscray, Australia.
Being just 6kms from the Melbourne CBD, the studio is a 15 minute drive from the city center, or a short stroll from the Footscray train station.
The studio is a relaxed & unassuming space, small but generous in it's offering. With a medium sized live room, separate control room,
and additional booths, the studio can accommodate individual musicians or a full band, tracking up to 32 channels simultaneously.
The studio has a selection of Drum Kits, Cymbals and Percussion instruments available for use, as well as an upright Piano and a small selection of Guitars.
We have a broad selection of microphones and mic pres, running into an Antelope Audio Interface, capable of 32 channels of simultaneous
recording at 24bit-192khz. Monitoring is via a pair of Focal Twin 6BE Studio monitors, as well as a pair of Grover Notting CR-2 Cross Reference monitors.
The studio was setup by Musician / Producer Steve Smith as a private work space in 2014, and now excepts bookings from bands,
individual musicians, producers & mix engineers looking for a suitable space to work on their music production.
The studio and it's spaces is available for dry hire, or with Steve Smith as an engineer.
