Recording Oasis is designed with the musicians needs at the forefront. We have numerous live and dead rooms surrounding a central control room. Each of the rooms has cleaver sight lines and is meticulously designed from top to bottom by renowned studio designer John Sayers to sound open and accurate. Each of the spaces is fitted with multiple Hearback systems making live tracking a breeze.

Oasis features a 7ft Stienway C grand piano, Hammond C3 with Leslie Cabinet, Rhodes MK1 88 Note, Korg Triton, Nord Stage, Microkorg, Roland V-Drums TD30 and a Pearl Masters drum kit. All of which can be recorded with classic microphones from Telefunken, Neumann, Brauner, Royer, AKG, Beyerdynamic, DPA, Rode, Calrec, Sennheiser, Sure and Blue.

We offer excess of 20 guitar amps and combos from AER, Badcat, Eden, Fender, Fryette, Marshall, Mesa, Victoria Amp Co and Vox. Guitar hire is also available upon request and our selection is second to none.

Recording Oasis is an integral part of the Gold Coast music community. We offer numerous educational services to primary, high schools and colleges. Packages are customisable to suit the schools curriculum. Students find the studio environment extremely stimulating and gives budding young musicians a taste of the professional side of the music industry.
