I have rehearsed and done a live recording with my band at Smokestack Studios in Gembrook. The rehearsal/performance room is great - really clean and everything is brand new. Lots of other rehearsal rooms in Melbourne are dirty with faulty equipment, but Smokestack is brand new and beautifully looked after. The recording we did was really enjoyable with professional, helpful advice and the best quality equipment - it sounds excellent and the band is stoked as we can use it to get gigs now! The location is something to consider I guess, but for me it's definitely worth the drive for the quality and relaxing experience.
