Studio 52 - Recording Studio Melbourne

Outstanding night out. Surpassed my expectations which were already high. Great venue for this show. Enjoyed it immensely, and what talented musicians. Brilliant.

The best show in town! The artists, venue, food and show were outstanding, and we will be back for more. Best talent and voices ever! Thank you for such a memorable experience we shared with friends.

Had a fantastic night at Empire Music. The venue is great, the food was awesome and the band, Soul Sacrifice, were incredible.

As usual, we thoroughly enjoyed the awesome show put on by Empire Studios. So far we have had nothing but 5 Star entertainment laid on by Paul.

I had a wonderful time. The venue is excellent, the hosts were very attentive, the food was good and the music was awesome. Will definitely come again!

Went to Empire Studios to see a Fleetwood Mac tribute show called Fleetwood Max which I knew would be a more intimate setting than any gig I go to. What I didn't expect was the preshow canapes of sliders, fish and chips, calamari along with a $25 drink card then on our table a cheese platter along with another platter of canapes before the band went on for their first set. Then before the second set a plate of mini desserts was bought to all tables. That along with the great show put on by Fleetwood Max made it a fantastic night enjoyed by my wife and I. Would definitely come again for other shows in the future if they played there. Mega kudos to Paul and his staff for putting on a great event. Thanks guys

I loved the experience of recording here. Incredible facilities, spaces to hang and amazing recording spaces for different options. Studio manager Paul Higgins is always helpful while in-house engineer Trevor Carter gets a great sound straight up. The pure-path monitoring set up they have created makes live tracking a joy. Highly recommended for jazz players, large ensembles, strings and orchestras. They have host of great sounding pianos, the list goes on!

Great night at the beautiful Empire Studios complex for Jason Dean and the Super Band.
Everything next level.venue, food & beverages, service, band and of course Jason Dean. Anything these guys put on is going to be top notch.

We attended a couple of functions at Studio 52, really impressed with their new look and facilities, classy! Plenty of upright & grand pianos in the studio for recording & some fun time.

Catering food was amazing, lots of variety and plenty!

The performances at studio was very high standard, we enjoyed thoroughly! Highly recommend if you're looking for a place of entertainment with your friends!

We had a great night at Studio 52
Piano Men concert. The venue is fabulous with plenty of room, plenty of free parking and great facilities.
We had great quality food and a good selection of beverages. The actual show was excellent and the Yamaha Piano just divine. Looking forward to see what shows are coming in 2023 as we are happy to come to studio 52 instead of going into the city. Overall a great fun night with great entertainment.

It's a beautiful space to play in, comfortable and bright, and looking forward to using the space in the future!

I worked with Trevor Carter to record a series of sound files for composer Richard Barrett to transform electronically. Trevor captured beautifully and in a very detailed way the sounds of an electric lap steel guitar being processed by various effect and expression pedals. A great relaxed place with supportive people. Highly recommended.

Studio 52 is amazing. Great place, location and music equipment. The audio technician is a legend, he is friendly and knows what he's doing! Would totally recommend!

Trevor expertly mixed and mastered Aurora Lumina's audio for The Heffernan Project documentary, a collaboration with Jutta Pryor. Treveor sifted and sorted thru what was essentially a field recording of our 5 piece chamber jazz ensemble: many thanks Trevor and Paul.

Paul & Trevor are remarkable people. Both incredibly generous and accommodating during our time at the studio whilst filming a music video and mastering a track. The space is magnificent to work in and we can not recommend them enough. Good people, good times. Look forward to the next visit!:)

A great recording and engineering session at Studio 52 - the new studios are fantastic - and really pleased with the outcomes - huge appreciation and respect for the work and advice of Trevor Carter - a true genius. The band is looking forward to recording there again in the near future - unquestionably one of the top studios in town - great gear - great expertise - 100% professional.

EMPIRE STUDIO 52 is a recording headquarters that has it all. We had a blast making the best record we ever made, in the best recording environment, with the most advanced technology, brilliantly and newly built studio recording rooms for perfect sound and atmosphere, equiped with the latest hardware and instruments and managed by the best people in Paul and Trevor who is the most amazing engineer/producer, to boot. Thank you all at Empire Studio 52 and I can’t wait to get our next album done. Jim Dixon (The FBI)

I have a great time using the photography suite and also amazed at all the new studio how big the facility is. Highly recommended

I've been a big fan of Trev and Paul's work ni their previous Collingwood studios, but the new ones make anything I've seen before look pale in comparison. Not only are they huge and could literally accommodate just about any size band or even an orchestra, they sound amazing. Seriously consider using Empire when you next need a five star recording.

Paul and Trevor have done an amazing job building this studio in West Heidelberg. The quality of the fit out and attention to detail is staggering, and the facilities extensive. There’s not only two gorgeous recording studios with a third on the way, but also a video suite, recreation area, full kitchen, bathrooms with disabled facilities. Ask the guys to give you a tour, not only is it special, it’s simply the best.
