Studios 301 Byron Bay and Studios 301 Sydney are now listed on the Miloco website. The facilities, our first partners in Australia, have been used by Flume, Kanye West, Coldplay, U2, Bruce Springsteen and Angus & Julia Stone in recent years.
Byron Bay is a wonderful residential studio, combining a large recording room and a vintage Neve console, located right next to one of Australia’s most desirable beachside towns. The main recording space includes a Yamaha C7 grand piano, Hammond organ with Leslie cabinet and Rhodes piano. Studio 1 is surrounded by two isolation booths and a lounge room that doubles as an alternate recording space with high ceilings and natural light.
The 28/24 vintage Neve console is equipped with 1081 preamp/EQs and is the mid-70s console from Festival Studios in Sydney. Alongside the console, a large portion of Festival’s original outboard gear continues to be maintained in conjunction with a collection of newer studio essentials.
Studios 301 Sydney is a complex comprising two large-format recording studios, 11 production studios, three mastering rooms and two workshops, with a roster of engineers and producers covering most music genres.
The centrepiece of Studios 301’s Sydney facilities, Studio 1, comprises a beautiful 270 square metre recording space with high ceilings, two isolation areas and a choice of two grand pianos, all placed alongside the control room equipped with Australia’s only Neve 88R console.
Studios 301’s second large-format studio in Sydney, Studio 2, encompasses a 70 square metre recording space with three isolated areas and an adjoining control room housing an SSL 9000 K series console.
A naturally lit and open-plan space, Studio 6 was built in 2011 with the philosophy of big studio service without the big studio price tag. In late 2013, Studios 301 Sydney added a brand new powered by Neve Custom Series 75 console!
Studios 301 Sydney also houses a number of long-term let studios. If you’re looking to set up your studio in Sydney check out the studios for lease.

Henry passed away on 22 March at his home in Brighton, at the age of 65. Henry was diagnosed with cancer last year.
“Henry was a great man and was always very kind to people,” said Nick Young, Miloco managing director. “Henry liked to wheel and deal and solve problems. There were many times when I saw Henry take control of situations that, without his input, would have taken much longer to solve or could have ended in disaster.”

The second single to be taken from the album ‘How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful’ follows on from the track ‘What Kind of Man’, which was also recorded in The Pool.
Jonathan Sagis assisted the sessions. “I’ve spent a lot of time working at The Pool in the past few years so I love the vibe there,” he said. “It’s a very versatile room in terms of its acoustics, equipment and instruments, so tracking an album like Florence’s there is really great. You can make different album tracks sound unique and create a very rich and interesting sounding production.”

“I was very happy with all the hard work Matt and the rest of the Miloco team put in and the end result shows,” said Johnson. “I was delighted, and of course more importantly the film’s director Gerard [Johnson, Matt’s brother] was absolutely thrilled too.”
