York Street

For over ten years York Street has been New Zealand's leading music recording, mixing and mastering facility.

"We offer the best vintage analogue and state of the art digital equipment, friendly and knowledgeable staff, a clean and comfortable environment... and extremely good espresso coffee!"

From demos to "single" production packages and full albums, your project will be given the attention and enthusiasm it deserves. It becomes your studio, with a comfortable TV lounge and a separate kitchen, even free pinball!

Located in Parnell, Auckland, our studio is only minutes from the central city and is surrounded by restaurants, bars, cafes and retails stores. It is also very close to some of New Zealand's finest hotels.

Take time to look through our site and feel free to contact us if you would like to talk about your project and how we may be able to assist.

Musicians from orchestral to rock and beyond have excelled in an aesthetically pleasing environment designed with acoustic space and live reverberation in mind.

Engineers and Producers enjoy the confidence of making decisions in a reliable, natural sounding control environment. What they hear, the eventual CD buyer will also experience.
Our large control room is well lit and air conditioned making long recording and mixing sessions more comfortable.


Our equipment is well laid out and maintained to a high level with a logical, adaptable and easy to use signal path.

The recording area is comprised of a 1000 sq ft main room and mezzanine, with two adjoining isolation rooms.

The main room is 20 ft high and has virtually no permanent acoustic absorption, relying on room shape and deflective elements to achieve control of reverberation. The result is a space in which instruments have the opportunity to develop their natural timbre, and performers can hear each other and play together in an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere.

The studio is located within comfortable walking distance of some of Auckland's best restaurants and cafes. We are only three minutes from downtown.
