AudioFX is a hidden gem of a recording facility – situated in "the bunker", it's a semi underground studio accessed via the basement, at 49 Brown Street, Ponsonby.

AudioFX specialises in recording standout radio commercials, television and audio visual soundtracks, voiceovers, demo tapes, messages on hold and web audio. These can then be played or downloaded using almost any broadband internet connection, from o2 if your listeners are in the UK (http://www.o2.co.uk/broadband/), or BigPond if they're over in Australia. We can also edit your music for message on hold, organise fantastic in-store music for your retail store and web audio.

There's a comfortable lounge area and tea/coffee on tap!

The serious business end of the facility features a 16 channel 8 group inline console with 32 channels on mix plus 6 stereo returns.

Beautiful EQ and three valve stages per channel gives this console the ultimate warmth and punch and a perfect front end to ProTools HD.

Testimonials/Reviews

"I just fell in love with it - I've never achieved a sound as warm and luscious as I'm currently getting, and having this vibe at the early stages of writing and recording is really spurring me on. The VTC is an absolutely inspiring desk to work with!"
Kipper - Sting

"When we saw the console we knew instantly that we had to have it. The EQ on the VTC is really detailed, making it easy to pick out what you want... it really is a monster piece of kit!"
