AERIAL RECORDING is a studio in the Perth hills, near Mundaring, built for musicians looking to record their music in a big, comfortable rooms with great vibe.

The nine room building dates from the 1950s when it was a Shell Service Station and offers a mix of sound spaces from amp rooms, a sonically dead isolation room - perfect for intimate vocal and great drum sounds, or the spacious 11m x 7.2m main recording room with 4.2m ceilings for capturing great live acoustic sounds in a real space.

AERIAL has a large collection of analog keyboards including a 1963 Hammond A100 (A B3's big brother), a Prophet 5 and many other classic 70s synths and acoustic and electric pianos. There are also a range of other instruments, effects, stringed instruments and vintage amplifiers.

There is a good range of microphones including a rare Wagner U47W, a pair of ribbon micophones once owned by Frank Sinatra and a range of other vintage classics from the 50s to 70s. We record with a console specifically designed for the studio by Ekadek (www.ekadek.com) built from authentic Neve console amplifier cards, point to point wiring and genuine passion. Recordings are made either to the Ampex 8 track tape machine, for extra flavour, or to the wonderful sounding Prism Orpheus and Apollo converters.
