Recording Studio at Lily Street Studios

8 Lily Street, Melbourne, 3058
Merlynston Station (750 m)

About this space

Our recording studio is both the centrepiece and crowning jewel of Lily street.

The live room sprawls over a massive 10m x 7m area, and boasts a peak roof height of over 4m. With hardwood floors, an acoustic upright piano, and a vast array of instruments and amplifiers, nothing is out of your creative reach. Additionally, the 3 phase outlet allows the space to be used for full scale production rehearsals.

The control room is an acoustic masterpiece. A hardwood wave diffuser encases the listener, and also hides the many resonant and broadband absorption modules which all work together to achieve a smooth and flat frequency response, meaning you’re hearing every sound in its purest recorded form. The 40 channel Amek Mozart recording console coupled with the suite of outboard gear and thousands of plug-ins creates a rich, clear and detailed sound filling every project with character and warmth.

No matter your genre or process, Lily Street studios is a perfect breeding ground for inspiration, productivity and creativity.
