    Studio 1

    Through combination of carefully crafted sound, controlled natural light and high quality equipment – Studio 1 is the focal point of Forbes Street Studios.

    Control Room

    Home to Australia’s only Barefoot MiniMain 12 speakers, the control room centres around an analogue SSL AWS 924 console with DAW integration, Pro Tools HDX and a selection of must-have outboard, plugins, and music instruments.

    Live Room and Booths for Music & Content

    Music recording, live music showcases, video podcasts, events, content shoots, and more – a tasting of the versatility of our largest acoustically treated content space minutes from Sydney’s CBD.

    The live room accommodates 10+ musicians simultaneously, includes acoustic baffles, Ludwig drums, Martin & Fender guitars, vintage pianos & synthesisers, and is adjoined by isolated vocal and amp booths.

    Dolby Atmos/Spatial Mixing

    The very best listening experience is what we offer in Studio 1 with our 9.1.4 Genelec monitoring system – a fully immersive Dolby Atmos / Spatial mixing suite – Read more here.
