Before you book
If you wish to book to book the studio you will first need to complete an induction. Register your interest to attend by emailing bookingthedock@melbourne.vic.gov.au. This induction is a mandatory requirement prior to booking the recording studio.
The induction covers the fundamental operation of the recording studio at Library at The Dock. It will not cover recording and mixing techniques but simply provides the basic knowledge to get started in the studio.
Once you’ve completed an induction session, you can book the recording studio.
