Everland is a professional music recording studio conveniently located in the inner-West of Sydney.

Everland Studios’ owner and head-engineer is Ben Worsey. Ben has 20 years experience in the audio industry and 10 years in the current location at Everland. He brings a passion for audio and a love for a wide range of musical genres to his Sydney recording studio.

Ben's experiments in sound and music began at an early age with a 1/4" reel to reel recorder. Fascinated by the ability to stack sounds by bouncing from one track to another, a love of recording was born. As a teenager he graduated to a four track Tascam Portastudio and an Atari 1040ST, making home recordings of friends’ music. Ben studied at the School of Audio Engineering in 1999 and went on to work at Good Audio Sense in Melbourne for more than 5 years.

Given his eclectic taste in music, Ben is comfortable working across a wide variety of genres from indie rock, pop and funk to heavier styles such as hard-rock and metal. He also loves working with folk and Americana type sounds.

Ben’s mixing style is punchy and dynamic. He enjoys crafting a mix from the bottom up using a variety of creative techniques to bring out the best from the recorded material.

Collaboration with the artist is key to getting the mix right. Ben’s ability to communicate effectively in non-technical language makes the process of mixing your music creative and enjoyable.

Ben's recording philosophy is to get the right sound to ‘tape’ by using correct microphone placement and judicious EQ during the recording process rather than trying to fix it in the mix.

The recording studio comprises a comfortable, well equipped control-room, a 6x4m live room and two amp isolation booths. The acoustically treated live room is one of the best-sounding small/medium studio recording rooms in Sydney. It has a floating floor and sound isolation. Acoustic instruments such as guitars and strings shine and it has a great controlled sound for tracking drums. The room is large enough to accomodate a 4-5 piece band.

Everland is a digital/analogue hybrid recording studio, running Pro-tools 2020 software on an HD Native system. An SSL X-desk is the hub through which the analogue outboard is integrated into the signal chain, adding character from a variety of vintage and modern equipment. See the Studio Specs page for more information about the gear.
