Head Gap is a purpose-built recording studio located in the inner north of Melbourne, Australia. Based around a large 48 sq metre control room, expansive 65 sq metre live room, isolation booth and cab room, the studio caters to many different types of projects.

The layout of the studio provides a space that allows a band to set up and play live, as you might at a gig or rehearsal. Instruments like drums, bass, guitars and keyboards can easily be recorded at the same time, if that's what you want. This allows for efficient use of time, and the ability to capture the music with the greatest degree of spontaneity and real-time interaction of the musicians.

The principal engineer/producers at Head Gap are owners Neil Thomason and Brent Punshon. Both former muso's, these fine fellows bring a sympathetic ear and sense of adventure to each project they work on. These guys live for what they do - in fact, recording music and running Head Gap IS all they do. They love it. Call them for a chat, you will find a friendly voice happy to talk about the nuts and bolts of recording music, and answer any questions you may have.
