I try not to limit myself too much in terms of the genres I work with. My music listening habits are extremely eclectic and honestly I like the projects I work on to reflect that – it keeps things interesting and means that I’m constantly exploring different production styles. Just in the last few months I have recorded and mixed artists from the folk, funk, psych rock, pop-punk, indie-rock, shoe-gaze, and black metal genres.

You can have a listen to some of these projects here on the page or if you would like to take a listen to some music that’s been inspiring me lately, take a listen to this Spotify Playlist.

Every recording and mixing project is different and I will be able to give you a more accurate quote by grabbing a few details from you on our Quotes page. Having said that, I like to think that Everland is one of the best value recording studios in Sydney so I think you'll find our prices very reasonable.

The truth is that there are a lot of great recording studios in Sydney, so why choose Everland Studios? Well, I like to think that I’m great at what I do. I love recording and mixing music and I hope that it shows both during the production process and in the final product.

Choosing a recording studio is a very personal thing and at the end of the day it really comes down to choosing the recording studio and engineer that you feel most comfortable with. I go into more detail about that in my article about choosing a recording studio. I encourage people to make a time to visit the studio before they decide.

So please, get in contact and make a time to come past the studio for a chat.

In a word, yes. Once we’ve worked out the details of your recording, I can put you in touch with session musicians that fit with the style and genre of the project.

Mastering is the final layer of polish before your project is released. The mastering engineer receives a completed stereo mix as a high quality digital .wav file. They evaluate the mix and may apply EQ, compression, limiting or stereo widening to make the tracks sit well alongside other commercial releases. If the release contains multiple tracks they will also sequence them, add appropriate silence between them, and ensure smooth transitions.

While I can master your music for you, if your budget allows for it I always recommend using a specialist mastering engineer. As the mix engineer I spend hours working on each track, so a fresh set of ears can really help. I can recommend a few great mastering engineers for you.

Yes, we have some instruments and amplifiers available for use during recording. We also have two drum kits with various snares and cymbals. The use of these is included in your session fee – no extra cost to you. You can take a look at the list on our Studio Specs page.

There’s no exact answer to this. Weekends tend to book out more quickly than weekdays, and if you’re planning a longer session, I recommend contacting us a couple of months in advance. That said, we often have short-notice availability, so get in contact and we’ll work something out.

Payment is made via bank transfer. Once your booking is confirmed, I’ll send an invoice with the account details. For one-day sessions, full payment is required in advance. For multi-day sessions, a 50% deposit holds the dates, and the remaining balance is due before the final day.
