Mixing Equipment

UniDyne Mixing Equipment

Once the tracks are recorded, the mixing stage brings all the parts together into a balanced and clear recording. At Unidyne Studio, we combine analogue processing with digital control to achieve a mix that sounds natural across different playback systems.

State-of-the-Art Audio Monitoring

Our monitoring system includes Genelec 8030A nearfield monitors, Yamaha NS10s powered by a Yamaha P3500 amplifier, Avantone Mixcubes, and PreSonus E5 monitors. We also use Sennheiser HD800, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Sony MDR-7506, and Shure SRH840 headphones for detailed listening.

Get the Right Character For Your Mix

We use outboard gear for dynamic control and tonal shaping during mixing. The Shadow Hills Equinox provides analogue summing with different transformer options that allow us to adjust the overall character of the mix.

We work in Pro Tools Ultimate 2025 and Logic Pro XII, so we can choose the platform that best fits your project.

Our engineers listen carefully to your ideas and adjust the mix so it translates well on a range of systems.

Most Popular Questions

What is the recording process for bands at Unidyne Studio?

At Unidyne Studio, we tailor each recording project to the artist and genre.
Because of studio space requirements, larger instruments like full drum kits and grand piano are typically recorded off-site. Most other instruments and vocals are recorded in-studio in Box Hill, Melbourne.

Our standard workflow is layered tracking:

  1. Rhythm foundation (usually drums/percussion)
  2. Bass
  3. Guitars/keys
  4. Lead and backing vocals

If your project requires live energy, we can also arrange simultaneous recording for multiple musicians.

Do I need to bring my own instruments and recording equipment?

Not necessarily. We provide selected in-studio instruments, including electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and MIDI keyboard options.
You are welcome to use our gear, bring your own instruments, or combine both, depending on your sound and workflow preferences.

How many musicians can record at the same time?

We can record up to 4 musicians simultaneously in one session setup.
If your band has more members, we can structure your session in efficient stages to maintain performance quality and studio flow.

How long can I book a recording session?

Recording sessions can be booked for up to 10 hours per day.
For larger projects such as EPs and albums, we recommend booking multiple sessions so there is enough time for tracking, comping, and quality checks.
