Striking, creative vibe from the moment you enter.
Westpoint Studios boasts 3 key rooms and 3 additional rooms with tie lines in each space, plus ample facilities to make your session a comfortable and productive experience. With a range of modern, vintage and inspiring equipment, Westpoint gives you the space to make your project thrive. From writing through to production, recording and mixing with outstanding results.
Control Room:
Centred around our SSL console, Westpoint's control room can uniquely accommodate two engineers, a producer's table and an artists' interactive table all at the same time, allowing multiple people to interact on the same session for a level of creativity unveiled by other studios. The producer's table can also control the many sets of speakers and talk-back facilities without having to move. Further interrelation can be accessed from our live room, allowing musicians to directly control Pro Tools and monitor proceedings, which is great for spontaneous punch-ins. For traditional mixing sessions, we have an ample array of rack equipment, classic effect processors and tons of software plugins for good measure. The studio's patching system also boasts patchable MIDI, video sync, ethernet, cues and loudspeaker for you to create and control a variety of recording situations. For a personal touch, our vocal booth is within a couple of feet of the producer's table, allowing the producer and artist to interact with complete separation.

Live Room:
Westpoint's 28-foot live room has an impressive five square metre view from the engineer's chair and is stacked with guitar amps and drum kits. Furthermore, the live rooms boast a rest area, smart TV and air conditioning, giving artists comfort, creative options and stress-free interaction with the engineer. For further speed, our live room is permanently set up with Quested v3110 mid-field monitoring, so artists can listen to previous takes and monitor mix down while relaxing to film or set up a second producer room. With its natural finish wooden floors and high ceilings, our live room also provides the perfect ambient recording space for live bands, strings, brass, drums, vocals and piano.
