Welcome to STUDIO11B
Studio 11b welcomes you to our boutique yet highly professional recording facility in the heart of Mount Maunganui. With years of combined experience, an impressive array of vintage analogue and state of the art digital equipment: we strive to produce your next project to the outstanding result our clients all deserve.

ABOUT US
The scariest thing for any musician can be beginning the recording process. Fears of escalating costs, an engineer ignorant to your sound or demands and judgement from unhelpful anti-social studio geeks can lead many a musician to record on the cheap in their parents garage to mixed results. At Studio 11b we promise to buck these recording studio cliches by bringing your projects to life with zero judgement, a positive and always welcoming attitude but most importantly to have it achieved at the highest of quality while still at very affordable and flexible rates.

FAcilities
With two purpose built recording rooms we are able to capture the nuances of all musical styles. Our smaller wood paneled room comes with a grand piano and is perfect for solo acts and acoustic artists looking for a more intimate sound. While our main room with its high stud ceiling is excellent for capturing a diverse drum and guitar sound or for housing larger and louder groups. A fully isolated vocal booth is also available for voice over and sound effect work.
Our engineers have decades of combined experience to craft your ideas from concept to completion. Using a mixture of ever growing vintage analogue and modern digital recording equipment they also have at their disposal one of the Bay of Plenty’s largest collections of guitars, pedals, amps, drums, keyboards and high quality microphones to enhance your music to the best of its potential.
As musicians and music fans ourselves we pride ourselves on knowing what is needed to make the recording process go as easy and smoothly as possible. But also more importantly we use this to play our part in helping you to achieve a completed recording of your own desire and satisfaction.
Services
Our expert team will help you to realise your recordings full potential each step of the way. From offering production points regarding sound techniques, helping with song craftsmanship and working with you from beginning to end to make sure that your vision is everything you both imagined and wanted. With a Trident Series 70 mixing desk at the heart of our control room and a plethora of analogue pre amps, compressors and high quality microphones we can capture and complete your sound to the highest and most professional of qualities. Your input in into this process will be of much value to our engineer as moves from tracking to mixing your songs. While it is our engineer in control we wish to work alongside our customers to create the best possible product for your release.
