Recording, Mixing, Mastering

Whistleduck Studios is a haven for artists looking for the beneficial convergence of space, cost and time.

Whether you are a full band or a solo artist looking to have your songs produced and arranged, we’d love to help you complete your project in the way that suits you.

We have the an acoustically isolated control room and live space with professional grade equipment. But at Whistleduck Studios we still hold to the ethos of D.I.Y recording.

Instead of looking at the clock. We’d rather achieve the best result coming out of the speakers.

Talk to us about our rates and how we can accommodate your schedule.

We are located on the Northern End of the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. (10mins from Movie World.)
