Craig Pilkington founded Audrey Studios in 1998. We have been producing, recording and mixing ARIA award winning bands and solo artists for over fifteen years. We believe that Audrey is well equipped to handle all your production needs.

Studio A is geared towards (but not limited to) an analogue / digital hybrid workflow, combining a custom 44 channel Trident console and Tascam MS-16 1″ tape machine with an Avid HDX system running Pro Tools Ultimate 2019 on a Mac Pro, while an Apogee Symphony MKII and Lynx Aurora 16 handle 32 channels of combined simultaneous I/O conversion.

Control Room monitoring selections include Yamaha NS-10s, Adam A77Xs and KRK V88s (US Model). While five individual cue mixes can be created directly from Pro Tools via an SM-Pro HP6E headphone amplifier (sufficient in accommodating a full live band).

The main room is a large acoustically designed space complete with two isolation booths and a control room, all with full sight lines. A generous collection of vintage instruments lives at Audrey.
