Australian producer Jack Nigro has launched a new music studio at Tuggerah.
Nigro has worked with artists such as DMA’s, Dune Rats, The Amity Affliction, The Terrys, Pacific Avenue and Middle Kids.
Sonora Studios is a two-storey, purpose-built recording facility featuring Sound Space A, an impeccably treated live room alongside Sound Space B, a secondary production and mixing space.
It hosts a collection of world-class recording equipment including hardware from Neumann, Avalon, SSL and Universal Audio, as well as a range of in-house backline from Orange, VOX, Fender, Ampeg and a 1975 Ludwig drum kit.
Nigro cut his teeth developing the next generation of Australian indie and rock bands including Rum Jungle, DICE, The Terrys, Vacations and many more.
His philosophy of removing barriers to creative exploration is expressed throughout the calming and open environment Sonora Studios fosters in both decor and design, as well as principles.
Sonora Studios is available for mixing and mastering services, with Nigro having a wealth of experience in both areas.
“Building my own studio was something I first wanted to do when I was about 15 years old,” he said.
“Having my own space that I, and hopefully others, love creating in every day is a very special experience.
“I have always liked studios to feel relaxed, intimate and calm.
“I feel like this is the best environment to foster creativity and become completely immersed in what you are doing.
“We built the studio to cater for bands to be able to record live, a process I find very important for many of the artists I work with, and ensured our main live room space has a lively, organic sound to best capture acoustic instruments.
“One of my favorite aspects of the job is that we are creating bodies of art that will hopefully reach and positively impact many other people.
“Going to a show and hearing the crowd singalong, knowing you helped bring that to them, is incredibly rewarding.
“When I work with artists and bands one of the first things I like to do is hear their references … find out what tones, energies and vibes excite them.
“I then combine all of these references to help build an exciting vision with the band.”
