25.01.2022 We were honoured to be chosen as the recording studio for this awesome tune and accommodate such a stunning gathering of world class musicians. Please support Hunter Kaine and Shane Nicholson and give the track a spin.

25.01.2022 We were excited to have Thornhill in the studio recording drums and guitars for their fabulous album The Dark Pool. Engineered by the talented Lance Prenc. Congratulations for another awesome Aussie release.

25.01.2022 Sleepy Wests new EP is almost here!

25.01.2022 Our latest vintage amp, the 1976 Marshall Master Lead Combo. A 70s transistor amp that delivers loud clean tones all the way to QOTSA stoner filth. #vintagemarshall #marshallamps #transistors #sennheisermicrophones #guitarist #recordingstudio #rangemasterrecordingstudio

24.01.2022 Thornhills The Dark Pool is Triple Js feature album this week!

24.01.2022 I was fortunate to host the lads from @theomnificband for 12 days tracking drums. They’re jolly talented lads.

24.01.2022 Another great tune from The Bean Project. Look out for the Ep this year.

24.01.2022 Our 71 JMP SuperLead made it to Void Of Visions new album. Thats album number 607 for this workhorse, the very amp Brett Garsed played on John Farnhams Whispering Jack. Production and engineering by the talented Lance Prenc.

23.01.2022 Please support this awesome bloke. Taylors new single was proudly mixed here at Rangemaster by David Carr.

22.01.2022 Friends, this is one special record. 19 year old guitar prodigy Charlie Bedford has delivered an incredible album of original indi-blues songs, all written and arranged by himself, produced, recorded and mixed by me at Rangemaster. I cant express how much Charlies focus, determination and sheer talent impressed me on a daily basis. His guitar solos were all improvised on the spot and his rhythm playing is rock solid. He worked incredibly hard on his vocals and mixing the record was a dream come true for me- everything we recorded just sounded so darn good! Please support this upcoming young artist and BUY this record!

21.01.2022 Tascam DA88 8-track digital tape machines. These 2 machines cost the studio 16k back in 93. On using them for the first time, everyone commented that play back... sounded exactly like the real thing. Sometimes we werent sure whether we were listening to the input or the playback. They sounded infinitely better than the 16 track reel to reel. I keep them for archive purposes because Ive got hundreds of tapes. #recordingstudio #recordproducer #tascam #tascamda88 #digitalvsanalog See more

20.01.2022 This is great advice for us all, especially the feelings-based creative personalities that we musicians can often be.

19.01.2022 Dear friends, can I ask you all a small HUGE favor? Can you please spare 3 minutes and 50 seconds to listen to the new track by MORE by Sadie Mustoe and write a quick review on her unearthed page. It will mean the world to me and Ill be your best buddy for ever and ever!! I believe in this young artist so much Ill offer 2 hours studio time to the 10th new review from today.... Sadie and I spent many hours drafting the arrangement of the tune. She decided the time was right to move away from the indi-folk sound of her previous releases with me and she sent me home with a listening list of contemporary artists shes inspired by. I feel we achieved the difficult challenge of blending these influences together with her own, beautifully unique style. I asked my friend Michael Ingvarson to bring his considerable talents to the project and his keyboard and programing added layers of musical complexity I could never have come up with in my lifetime. Carolyn Oates rose to the challenge of playing a disco beat with a slightly swung groove on her new (old) Rogers kit and its a killer drum track. Due to Covid, Sadie recorded all of her backing vocals and violins herself in her music room; to suggest shes a talented person is the understatement of my career! Everything else by me. THANK YOU https://www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/sadie-mustoe

11.01.2022 New material from The Omnific on it's way!

11.01.2022 A few years back my old friend Paul Spyda Drummer invited me to join a bunch of Gen-X rockers and complete the lineup of the new rock outfit When Frames Collide. The band is headed by Andy McLean of Horsehead fame on vocals and boy, can the lad still sing! The boys were working on some solid rock demos but were missing the last important ingredient; a wall of guitar rock made from solid Les Paul, Strat and Marshall. After some rather exciting rehearsal sessions I took the t...racks (recorded live in a rehearsal studio) added a wall of guitars, mixed the songs and next thing, Golden Robot Records offered us a deal! Were all pretty excited to share with you the first single from our up-coming EP. Head over to YouTube, hit the subscribe button and checkout todayss launch of the video. Clearly, we would love to be inviting you to a city venue to blast your eardrums but that will have to wait for now. Mixed and Mastered by David Carr at Rangemaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHpCRHOGx9I

10.01.2022 We spent a great day with Chris Taylor and Jennifer Land from Slim Dime recording some 1940s bluegrass inspired originals. We broke out the Neumann KM85s, Film Industries M8 ribbon and the rather large Zephyr for good luck.

10.01.2022 Today I give my heartfelt thanks to the incredible women Ive recently had the privilege to work with in the studio or on stage. They are all confident, talented musicians who have invested heavily in their art. They never once complained to me they werent being given a fair go by the industry, nor did they demand special treatment; they worked hard and showed me what they are made of: strength, commitment, compassion and integrity. Most importantly, working with them has m...ade me a better human. - David Carr Including; Carolyn Oates Anna Scionti Music Cilla Jane Mariah McCarthy Georgia Delves Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier Vika and Linda Bull Holly Loughran Jade Favretto Sophie Loughran Eaglemont Christine Ries Kathleen Snowball Jessica Renehan Clio Renner Kate Goldby Calling Utopia Sarah Renehan Michelle Chandler Alpha Loopy Girl on the Hill Neesy Smith Sarox Martini Mel Violet McGillivray Lisa Baird Lauren Sheridan Hannah Elise Schmidli Xen Havales and A Lonely Crowd Cathy Dobson Sakthi Ravitharan Abbey Grace Music Christine Butson Alex Verbango Lauren Patullo Laurie Smith This Is My Sister Cath Russell Blin Bella Vee Vanheems Denise McKay Britt Conboy and South City Ellie Lamb Diving Boards Tracey Roberts Sophie Louise Elsworth Bec Sykes Music and Someday June Ocean Deep Robyn Payne This is a short list only.

07.01.2022 Dear friends, in the aftermath of the horrendous fires we had in the state, some clients expressed reservations about coming up to record, given our proximity to the fire danger zone. We were never in any immediate danger and are getting on with business as best we can. However, please spare a thought for the multitude of small businesses, particularly in hospitality who desperately need your patronage. If you want to help those affected by the fires and record that next killer single, I have a studio you might be interested in and I long list of cafs for you to enjoy, as well as one or two Air B&B destinations nearby. Record, relax, revitalize and help restore the local economy
