​Our Space

At Cabin in the Bush Songwriters Studio we offer a unique, inspiring space where you can plug in your laptop, settle in, and get into a creative songwriting flow. We are located 100 metres from the beach nestled next to Karuah Nature Reserve in an area often referred to as the "forgotten city". We are 20 mins from Newcastle Airport and 2 hours north of Sydney.

In the box

The heart of the studio uses an RME Digiface (with great driver support) and four Apogee Ensemble Interfaces with 12 excellent mic pres. If you want to stay completely in the box then this offers a top of the range front-end. The studio is designed for visiting producers to plug in and work as fast as possible. We supply full templates for Ableton, Logic and Luna so that all inputs/outputs are mapped and labeled.  

Analog

If you want to close your laptop we have a Fostex D2424 which runs into our Soundtracs Megas Studio desk. It has 28 mono, 4 stereo and 24 busses and has recently been serviced and upgraded. The compressors (Klark Technik x8, Alctron Neve 2254 Clone x2) are spread across the buss channels so you can sub-mix / sum with real outboard. We have a range of outboard effects that are curated to give you something that you can't get in the box with a focus us on reverb and delay.
