Professional Auckland Recording Studio
It was not always only about live events, either. We ran a music studio in Auckland between 2004 and 2017, and therefore, our recording skills are also available for hire. We are fully equipped to provide a professionally recorded sound. If you’re looking to record an EP, live demo or a full album, look no further. We know people who offer professional recording, mixing and mastering services and can point you in the right direction. If you twist our arm, we’d consider doing it in a live setting or at a venue of your choosing. Check out our archived Recording Studio Package Deals. Find out more about our currently closed Auckland recording studio. You can catch up on the latest news here. You can also find a wealth of helpful information for artists, along with testimonials, and learn more about us and our clients on our Friends of The Rock Factory page.
