I'm super pleased to announce that now, after months of hard work, my studio is ready to go. It's been a long road for me, to finally get to this point of having my own business to operate from. I've worked with a lot of people over the past 5 years or so, and without their support I wouldn't have been able to get this far. So thanks y'all - you know who you are...Geeze... I told myself I wasn't going to get emotional...
Anyway, all the demolishing, building, insulating, gibbing, plastering, painting and acoustic treating has come together and The Garage Audio is now good to go. I'll be catering to mainly commercial production, voiceover recording and audio post production, but I'm also dead keen to keep recording, mixing and producing music.
Why The Garage? Well I'm a fan of the 'call it what it is' buzz, and guess what? It's in my garage. A pretty new garage though I might add. The initial space was a sleepout, complete with bathroom and toilet facilities, so it only took a little restructuring to get it the way I wanted.
Being in a suburban location, soundproofing was always going to be essential (neighbourhood dogs and lawnmowers...) so I really put a lot of effort into finding the best way to keep any noise out. Using a combination of Silencer batts, Gib Rail (resilient rail), 2 layers of 13 mm noiseline Gib, sound stop acoustic sealant and laminated double glazing for any glass, it's worked very well, creating a quiet oasis in sunny Spreydon :-)
If you are interested in coming to check it out or you'd like to talk about a project, please drop me an email or give me a call. I'd love to help.
