"I have spent two months at Studios 301 and I must report that the studio and staff were far above and beyond my expectations. With many of the world class studios closing their doors these days Studios 301 is thriving because they've got it right. The equipment is on everyone's dream list. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. I would go further and say that Sydney is a wonderful cosmopolitan, yet laid back, city in which to record long term projects. It's more than worth the journey from anywhere on the planet to record at such a fabulous facility as Studios 301."
-Tony Visconti (David Bowie, Morrissey, Stranglers, Boomtown Rats, Iggy Pop, Thin Lizzy, Mercury Rev, Dandy Warhols)
"301 is always a classy studio experience. A great piano, flexible spaces and a wonderful mixing space."
Tim Freedman (The Whitlams)
"The orchestra stage at 301 has a warm ambient sound with crisp clarity where harmonics ring true, and has the options of several iso booths of different acoustic natures, one being quite dry. With a variety of studio spaces for simultaneous recording in a controlled environment, and a choice of two world-class consoles, I have had the pleasure of recording & 5.1 mixing award-winning TV series, documentaries and feature films in this stress-free environment. Meeting my film-scoring needs to record soloists, chamber ensembles, contemporary percussion, full orchestra, jazz combo or choir, combined with an outstanding in-house collection of microphones and technology, working at 301 ensures a smooth and artistically fulfilling experience."
Nerida Tyson-Chew, Composer & Music Producer, 'Anacondas - The Hunt for the Blood Orchid', 'Dying Breed', 'Two Twisted'

"301 was a great place to mix, everything worked....that's always a plus. The assistant engineers there are great too, very knowledgeable and quick, they inspired confidence in the place."
Josh Pyke
"After recording our album The Night Is Ours in a somewhat 'rustic' and 'mid-fi' manner we were looking for somewhere 'slick' and 'hi-fi' to mix it. 301 fit the bill perfectly. The assistants were confident and competent. It was a high-end experience all round."
Toby Martin - Youth Group
"Mixing our latest album at 301 was a smooth experience from start to finish. It's a fabulous studio with all the best gear, but what really set it apart for us was the wonderfully helpful attitude of the staff there. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and it was clear that their only aim was to make our time there as smooth and hassle-free as possible. We look forward to coming back and doing our next album at 301."
Lloyd Swanton - The Necks
Wanting to commend all at 301 during our short tenure there. Chris our assistant was diligent, resourceful and a charmer to boot. Esther, Aaron, Jordan and all the employees from runners to assistants made our mixing days a real pleasure. If you could pass on our thanks I'd appreciate it. I don't normally send letters of praise to studios, but that's a great crew you got there.
All my best.
Tim Rogers - You Am I
301 is unequalled in the country for service, equipment and maintenance. No request is too difficult, no effort is spared when it comes to client comfort. 301 continues to be my first choice whether booking a large studio for big projects or a smaller room for overdubbing, editing or 5.1 Mixing.
Tony Wall - Producer/Engineer (Rose Tattoo, Kiss, INXS)
Having enjoyed a long association with Studios 301, we have found them to be totally supportive and professional, providing us with a great working environment.
Studios 301 are world class, offering state of the art equipment and recording spaces that reflect the sound of instruments with clarity and warmth.
Phil & Coralie Hartl - Hartl Music (Music contractors)
Apart from the great rooms and consoles and being able to go next door and master, the thing I like most about 301 Sydney and Byron is the staff.They give you the technical and personal support you need to make good records and its always a pleasure to work at either studio.
David Nicholas - Producer/Engineer (INXS, Midnight Oil, Elton John, George, Angelas Dish, Slow Down Honey)
