About this space

Pughouse Studios, a world class recording, mixing and mastering studio, was designed by renowned acoustic designer Dave Flett.

It is equipped with state-of-the-art microphones, preamps, equalisers and compressors (details on Gear Page), as well as a wonderful Pfeiffer Grand Piano, which was built in Germany in the 1930’s and has been passed down through generations of the Schauble family. Also available is a large range of drumkits and percussion. The studio's layout ensures eye contact between all performers, even when playing in acoustically isolated rooms.

Niko Schauble has many decades of experience as a musician, composer, producer and engineer and knows how important a relaxed atmosphere is to allow creativity to flow freely. His continuing collaborations with Australia’s top artists gives clients access to some of the best musicians around
