Pen Cap Chew Studios

Pen Cap Chew Studios Fremantle's premier band rehearsal and arts space Our focus is on providing a safe and inclusive space for all members of the music scene in Western Australia.

Pen Cap Chew - Fremantle Music Rehearsal Studios - is a professional music rehearsal space in the City of Fremantle. Located just 5 minutes from Fremantle and 20 minutes from Perth, we offer 9 large air conditioned rooms complete with the latest from Allen and Heath, EV and Sennheisser. Each room is acoustically engineered to not only extract the most out of your instrument of choice, but isolate

your band from the rest of the world - with a DnTw of 65db, there is no need to turn your amp up to 11 to compete with the band next door. We also offer high-end backline hire for your jam or recording session - from vintage Ludwig drum kits to Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and Vox AC30 guitar amps to Mark Bass bass amps - quality on tap. Cancellation Policy
We appreciate that things come up from time to time that may prevent you from coming in for your session. We simply ask for a minimum of 6 hours notice (or 24 hours when the studio is fully booked) so that another band doesn't miss out. A cancellation fee equal to the room hire will charged where insufficient / no notice is provided. This will not apply where a substitute band is found and the room is filled!

Well observed: we don’t do marketing very well. Actually, we don’t it at all really. But this is worth signing back in for after 6 months de-toxing from all things social media.

One for the vocalists out there: We just fit out sE V7 microphones in all of our large and deluxe rooms- these are genuinely next level mics. Only the best for our lovelies!!

While we’re on the subject of all things lovely, as soon as we can get back into our production studio (bookings are heaving right now), there’ll be an update on all the cool things we’ve packed in there. Rupert Neve stuff, inter-room connectivity, ampage, headphones, more mics - lots to unpack!

New mics in the deluxe room! You would be hard pressed to find a review that doesn’t put the sE v7 mic miles ahead of the Shure SM58 which we (and the wider live music industry) traditionally roll with. Keen to hear what the consensus is - might be that we buy a few more!

Thank you to everyone who has given the new Production / Recording studio a little tickle over the last month or so. We genuinely appreciate the support!

On the back of some feedback, we decided we step into the recording space a little further and acquired some pretty cool gear:

1. Newton Channel strip - (yes, Neve as in Neve1073 preamp module), this is an all-in preamp, EQ and compressor strip.

2. .berlin u87 - there’s very few, if any, more famous mics on the planet responsible for so many massive recordings.

3. SM7b - a robust and reliable workhorse. This model came up time and time again so we thought we should get one.

The SM7b will come as standard in the room in place of the NT2a (WHICH we have a very good use for coming up) as well as the RND Newton Channel Strip. The u87 will be an optional extra.

Anyway, IYKYK. If you don’t, that chain is pretty high spec - and we’re making it available for our bands / artists to access.

Much love
Dan & France
