Recording

Beaver Studios is one of New Zealand’s leading audio production houses located in a three level, three room complex at Beaver Towers, central Auckland. Each of our rooms has its own ProTools system: TDM in A and LE in studios B and C. We are also using the state of the art and extremely fast Nuendo system, which is a Cubase hybrid, so we have full compatibility and proficiency in working on projects on the Cubase platform.
 
We also have multiple Logic Pro systems. The A room and recording studio are fully floated, and A, B and the recording studio are cabled together allowing full isolation plus line-of-sight for band recording. We have great monitoring from Quested VS2308s, Dynaudio BM6As, Yamaha NS10s and JBL LSR32 sub in A, Genelec 1030As, JBL 4412s and Yamaha NS10s in B and Yamaha NS10s and HHB Circle5s in C.
 
You’re welcome to request your preferred recording chain of mic/mic pre; we have client carparking onsite; a deck and lounge on the top level of Beaver Towers where you can go and take 5, as well as kitchen and bathroom/shower facilities for those longer sessions.

Overview

Beaver Studios are numero uno. On a client by client basis our clients enjoy more success through sales, chart placings and airplay than any other studio operating in New Zealand.

Most studios will bore you while trying to awe you with extensive fancy spec’d gear lists; we’ll impress you with our talent and quick-to-the-point approach. Our production staff combine an extensive practical track record of actually making successful recordings for clients, with a musical understanding and an aesthetic appreciation for what’s right and what’s not. In short- we’ve got impeccable taste and we know that you have to have the ear AS WELL AS the gear.
