Two rooms. One session.

Bring your sound.
We'll get it
recorded right.

DIY Recording Studio pairs a live music studio for tracking with a dedicated control room for mixing and mastering — for artists and bands who'd rather spend their budget on studio time than a big-name name.

LOCATIONNewcastle, AU
ROOMS02 — Music Studio / Control Room
HOURS09:00 — 23:00 daily
BOOKINGBy the hour

Two rooms, built to work together.

Track live in the music studio, then step into the control room to mix and master — no gear to haul between spaces.

ROOM 01

Music Studio

The live tracking space — an iso-capable corner for drums and amps, a treated vocal position, and room for a full band to set up and play together.

ROOM 02

Control Room

The engineer's room — calibrated monitoring for mixing and mastering, with the same signal chain used to track, so what you hear is what you get.

Good to know.

The short version. Ask us anything else directly.

What's included in the hourly rate?+

A house engineer, all in-house mics and gear, and calibrated monitoring. Bring your own instruments or use ours.

Can I book the room without an engineer?+

Yes — pick "Self-engineered" as your session type for a reduced rate. You'll still get a quick orientation on the setup before your session starts.

Can I cancel or reschedule?+

Free rescheduling up to 48 hours before your session. Inside 48 hours, sessions are billed at 50% to cover engineer time.

Do you offer block bookings for a full record?+

Yes — multi-day packages get a reduced day rate. Message us with your project scope and we'll put a plan together.
