Thanks for viewing the profile of Orange Studio. If you want to make something creative like music or sound or a video then you’ve clicked through to the right people.

We’ve been going since 2006 and have kept very busy with clients who regularly tell us that they are thrilled with our work and that they think we give great value for money. We’ve recorded dozens of albums, recorded thousands of songs, made hundreds of videos, made dozens of designs.

Our facility in Ferrymead, Christchurch, has been running since June 2014 and is one of the biggest recording studios in the country, also functioning as an intimate cabaret/chamber performance space and a filming space. In addition to our existing production services, we present regular shows from music to comedy to theatre and our 50-70 capacity space is available for hire for your private and corporate events.

Orange Studio comprises two recording studios – which are made out of two control rooms, three isolation booths (for instruments such as our 9-foot Steinway, drum kits, double bass, vocals etc) and one large live room suitable for choirs, large horn sections, string ensembles, live recorded concerts seating 50 and so on. Additional rooms for amp isolation and instrument isolation are available. All isolated rooms surround the big room and have visual contact with each other isolation room.

Additionally we have a comfortable foyer, a lunch area, and our administrative area. But most importantly, we’ve got staff that will make your recording lots of fun.
