2011 National Recording Studios Open Day [update]

5th May 2011

NZ Music Month will see the return of National Recording Studios Open Day. Between midday and 4pm on Saturday May 28 a variety of professional audio studios around the country will open their front doors to anyone interested in taking a good look inside. Owners, engineers and staff will be on hand to answer any questions about the studio and the recording, mixing and record mastering processes.

Trialled last year, the open day concept proved a roaring success, and participating studios will again range from the high-end and long established likes of Auckland’s York Street to Palmerston North’s vibrant and incredibly low cost community facility known as The Stomach. Each studio will offer its own programme of information and entertainment.
