Red Dog Recording Studios

Our recording studio is located in Kallaroo WA and was built to record the Terry and Jenny albums and to do demos of our songs to pitch to other country artists, but over the years we have been asked by various singers, songwriters, and guitarists to produce their CDs for them.

We record using Pro Tools and use a wide range of microphones and Preamps to achieve the results we desire, mainly to suit acoustic-sounding country recordings with a more Bush Ballad feel to them.

The albums are recorded and produced by Terry Bennetts and mastered by Mark Donohoe at Apollo 11 Recording Studios, Lee Buddle at Crank Recording Studios, and Jeff McCormack.
