About Us

The Karioi Sound studio, currently located in Dave’s home is centred around a 17” MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo laptop with 4GB RAM & additional 19” LCD screen running ProTools LE 7.4 with an MBox 2, Apogee MiniMe pre-amp/converter, large diaphragm Apex 460 valve & AKG 451 condenser mics plus a host of sound processing, mastering & notation programmes including Peak Pro 5.2, Deck 3.5.3 LE, Transcribe 7.5, MelodyneUno 1.8, Sibelius G7 & Toast Titanium.

This laptop set-up is easily transported allowing for location recording and seamless integration with other studio facilities, a range of Firewire 800 & 400 drives facilitating rapid transfer & storage of data, the norm being 48 kHz, 24-bit recording with 32-bit mastering (most formats are supported).

The physical studio is only 5 minutes from the downtown Raglan seaside cafes of the 1985 TVNZ Heartland “Raglan By The Sea” documentary fame and is a standard two room (booth & control room) set-up with near-field Yamaha monitors & AKG headphones and whilst small (4.5m x 3.6m), a larger room (7.3m x 4.0m) with Tannoy dual-concentric 15” Studio Golds and comfortable seating allows for higher definition monitoring while tracking, mixing & mastering.

Other facilities offered include a comprehensive range of classic nylon, steel-string acoustic & electric guitars; mandolin, banjo & dobro; bass guitar, keyboards & percussion.

Whether it’s an original song needing to be scratched out as a demo or professionally recorded for a CD or a fully fledged ‘film-score’ mix readied for audio post production inclusion, Dave has the facilities, expertise & experience to assist in realizing those creative ‘muses’.
