🌱 FAQs🌱

Here is a list of answers to some of the questions we are most frequently asked, to save you the time of contacting us individually:

How do I get to Fig Shed?

If you’d like to book a session at Fig Shed send us an email and we’ll send you the address as part of the info we send you. But for planning purposes our studio is located in the suburb of Lower Mitcham a 15-20 minute drive South of the CBD. There is ample all day parking on our street and the studio is also a ten minute walk from nearby train and bus stops if you’re looking at public transport.

Production, engineering, mixing, mastering what’s the difference?

At Fig Shed we offer a range of services but you can absolutely pick and choose which ones you would like to use. 

A producer is someone who has an overall idea of the finished project and who can make important decisions throughout the whole process from writing through to completion. This role can be filled by the artist/member of the band or even a group of people but it can be very helpful to have someone who can see from the outside in and who isn’t getting bogged down in the individual takes and mood of the room. A producer’s job is to keep everything on track and be able to read the room to know when to chase that one more take or if taking a break is the best way to move forward. 

An engineer’s job is simply to capture your performance in the best way possible. They have the knowledge to put the right microphones in the right positions and make sure you’re comfortable in the studio.

Foooood! And Drinks?

Food is always the first thing on the Fig boys’ minds, no but seriously bringing enough food and snacks to the studio is super important. Recording days can feel super long and draining and it’s a very good idea to keep yourself fuelled up. We have a kitchen separate to the studio with a microwave, fridge, toastie machine etc. as well as a coffee machine and tea. We will provide filtered water, tea and coffee but please bring your own snacks/lunch. There are also plenty of food options just a short drive away.
