Rustwood Studio · North Brisbane
Mixing, mastering and artist development for singers. You bring the performance, we make it sound like a record.
What we do
Every service starts with the same thing: listening properly to the singer. Then it's honest ears, careful work and a finished result you're proud to play to people.
Your take, finished
Send a home recording, a live take or your vocal over a backing track. The vocal gets cleaned up, shaped and sat properly in the mix, then the whole thing is mastered to streaming loudness so it holds its own on Spotify, YouTube or a CD.
For singers building something
Ongoing work with singers who want to get better and get heard. Regular recordings, honest feedback on every take, help choosing songs that suit your voice, and a set you can actually get up and perform.
Scored, not guessed
A detailed report on any take: pitch, timing, tone, breath support and dynamics, each one measured. You get a clear score and the two or three things that will make the biggest difference next time you sing.
Grit & Groove
Need a singer for a night, or hosted karaoke for a pub, club, party or aged care home? Aaron and Rilda run Grit & Groove across North Brisbane and Redcliffe, with the gear, the songs and a room full of singers.
Before & after
Same performance, recorded live at Redcliffe Leagues. Press play, then flip between the raw take and the finished master mid-song. Nothing re-sung.
How it works
No jargon and no surprises. You always know what's happening with your song and when it's coming back.
Tell us what you've got and what you're after. A rough phone recording is fine to start with.
Your take is cleaned, mixed and mastered, or analysed and scored. You hear it and tell us what you think.
You get the final files, ready to share, upload or burn to CD, plus straight advice on what to work on next.
