The equipment was state of the art
“Absolutely brilliant place! I used the podcast studio to start recording my audiobook and it was the perfect space to do it in. I just rocked up, plugged in my laptop and away I went. The instructions for the use of the rooms were really clear and it felt like I could call someone at any time if I needed. The equipment was state of the art, but still really accessible and easy to use. I really appreciate how smooth it was from booking to the use of the room, as well as how affordable it would.

Fitted out with a state of the art SSL
“Had a great time recording here at 385! Imran and James were a dream to work with, and always made sure to go above and beyond to make the experience as easy and productive as possible. The vibes in the studio were always great, with both the guys providing really useful feedback as we went along, and I always felt assured that they would get us the best signal for every instrument we recorded.
The studio itself is fitted out with a state of the art SSL and all the equipment on offer was fantastic. With Crank studios next door, we were able to utilise both studio spaces to record drums, acoustic guitar, bass and vocals and were extremely happy with the result. Thanks again to the 385 team!”

Very impressed with my experience at 385 Studios!
“Having experienced many recording studios before, I’m honestly very impressed with my experience at 385 Studios!! My initial thoughts was that I was going to have to send my tracks to Sydney and get it edited, mixed, and mastered over there. But after my first session, I was so blown away with the service, attentiveness from both James and Imran, that I no longer think I have to send anything to Sydney! That saves me so much hassle and now I can just go into the best Perth recording studio, record my music, sit down with Imran and James, and mix and master my song with them! Also, another great thing about these guys, is their advice and ear to know how to take my track to another level!! I wish I could give these guys more than 5 stars!! Thank you so much Imran and James!”

Has done an awesome job working on our music
“My band has recorded at Tiny Music quite a few times now. Woody has stood in and helped us through the whole process of learning how to record and to get involved with the process. We’ve worked really closely with Woody and he is really lovely to work with and also has done an awesome job working on our music. For anyone looking to work closely in collaboration with a great recording engineer, who really knows what he is doing, and is really easy to get along with; I would very highly recommend!”
