Testimonials

“Really had a blast working with Rob Agostini at Soundbaker Studios in Perth. Myself and a drummer Ben Vanderwal tracked many elements of our EP in the same room - 100% live, which can pose issues with a session sonically. Rob has a set up which caters for this wonderfully, but can also track a full band without losing visibility or vibe - and the vibe is nothing short of great! Really open and great sounding acoustic space in there. Along with great engineering and mixing skills, Rob’s one of the most efficient people i’ve worked with in the recording world: after the sessions, file transfers, prompt communication, even when i was overseas - was seamless. i’d recommend Rob and his facility to anyone who’s serious about capturing good music on record!”

“Soundbaker is the only Perth studio for me. Not only is Rob Agostini an excellent technician, but he is one of the most affable and easygoing producers in the industry. Brilliant results, consistently”

“Working with Rob Agostini at Soundbaker surpassed my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. With his guidance as Producer and Co-writer of my latest EP I am proud to say that we have created my best work yet. His organisation and professionalism ensures the journey of recording runs smoothly & is also lots of fun. His knowledge of the industry, his creative mind & sensational mixing skills sets him apart from the rest & his studio has state of the art equipment and a great energy so you feel comfortable to produce a world class product. I have worked in studios all around the world, and Soundbaker is my favourite place by far.”

“I have worked with many producers in my time however none are more efficient and productive than Rob. Rob has a diverse range of musical knowledge which also allows unique concepts to come to fruition. A full day at Soundbaker always generates results and more importantly great songs. I always look forward to my next studio session with Soundbaker!”

“My recording experiences with Rob Agostini/Soundbaker have been nothing short of life changing. Rob possesses the innate ability to take your raw song and turn it into not only the best possible version of the song, but to also add creative elements that are beyond your initial perception of what the song could be. He has a genuine and sincere care in each individual song, and you never ever feel like the record session is on auto-pilot; he is able to consistently emotionally invest himself in YOUR songs, and you can’t help but feel empowered by this. If you want to sound like the best possible version of yourself, Rob Agostini is your guy.”

“We were lucky enough to record our debut EP with Rob at Soundbaker, and the experience can be likened to a cheese platter; there was so much to explore, try out, combine and discard, one could be easily overwhelmed. Rob guided us through with his wisdom and mad skills, and we think the result is ultimately delicious.”

“There’s a good vibe around Rob’s studio – you feel it as soon as you walk in – like stepping into a steady creative energy where, at last, all you have to do is focus on the work. Things happen organically. Rob offers a thought at the right time or suggests another instrument to add texture or depth – or space. He’s part of the collaboration and he listens and follows to where the desire sits or flows in the music. And then there’s the mix. He knows how to elicit richness and delight from all contributions to produce a beautifully nuanced result. I’ve been working with Yabu Band throughout the recent recording of their new EP. And this is how it was. And on top of that - no fuss. Easy communication. Everything considered. Yabu Band now have a stunning, unique piece of work that everyone is proud of and cant wait to get to their audience. Thank you Rob!”

“As a songwriter who neither produces nor plays any instruments, it is difficult to get my songwriting and music ideas down musically. Rob is fantastic and very professional in the way he puts my ideas into music and works around my melodies, lyrics and ideas. He is a pleasure to work with and takes on board my suggestions, while also providing his own suggestions in an attempt to make the best sounding possible pop songs!

“As a singer/songwriter with no formal training and limited instrumental capabilities, Rob helped transform a very basic demo of just piano and vocal into exactly the style of track I had in mind. He completely understood where I wanted to go with it and made it even better than I had imagined. An extremely talented musician and producer, he’s also very laid-back and a dream to work with.”

“Rob is a wizard in all things production, songwriting and mixing. He will go above and beyond to give you the results you want. He is a multitalented artist whose passion for music production of all musical genres is inspiring and motivating. Any idea I had, no matter how abstract, Rob was able to translate it into a sound that was even better than I imagined. Rob is down-to-earth, with great insight into the inner-workings of the music industry. I cannot recommend Soundbaker Studios more highly!”

“Rob. You are a fantastic and creative person. From the day I met you I connected with your adventurous outlook on life, music and performance. A positive ‘can do’ professional who has never let me down in the 10+ years I have been working with you.”

“I loved my experience at Soundbaker Studios. Rob is a really nice guy who knows his studio and his gear like the back of his hand. He is super easy to work with and can get the results you’re looking for on time and to a budget. Can’t go wrong with Rob at Soundbaker!”

“Three words to describe Rob Agostini and my experience working with him; Talented, Efficient and Cooperative. Thanks Rob for your magic! ”

“Rob put my mind completely at ease within our first session. He is highly passionate about what he does and will always go above and beyond to achieve the best possible results, no matter what the project is. Rob is incredibly knowledgeable and his advice and feedback is always delivered with integrity. He has a great ear, fantastic creative ideas, and is very talented and musically versatile.
Working on my album with Rob over the past year has been a truly unique experience and I have enjoyed every moment. I have learnt so much over the whole process and become a better musician. I’m beyond thrilled with the almost-finished product.
Rob is the complete package. If you need a music producer, songwriter, recording engineer, mixer, world-class studio owner, teacher, friend, purveyor of fine teas – Rob is your guy.”

“Recording with Rob at Soundbaker Studios is always an exciting and creative time for me. Rob’s a great listener, his knowledge helped me turn my vision into a record that I love.”

“Choosing a producer can be a career-changing decision, there are many boxes to tick, creativity, humility and above-all integrity, Rob ticks the boxes, trust me.”

“I had a good listen to your sampler CD and it sounds great, so well done. It all sounds exciting and you can’t ask for more than that. It’s also beautifully recorded, so I’m sure you’re going places. Keep up the good work!!”

“Easily the most effective 8 hours in a studio I’ve ever spent. Great recording gear teamed with an easy going atmosphere made for a highly productive session. Love Rob’s quirky sense of humour, kept everyone grounded the whole day!”
