Mobile 'Studio 8'
The 29' Sunliner Motor Home is used as Lindsay and Shaza's tour bus and a mobile studio when the need arises.
It has been used effectively for overdubs, vocals and mixing and enables Lindsay to continue working on projects whilst on the road touring.
It's also enabled artists to record at home without travelling to a studio. Some artists find it far more relaxing to record in their own familiar
surroundings.
'Studio 8' is the eighth studio that 'The Butlers' have installed and is fully self-contained with 2 mobile recorders available.

Moonbi
Situated in the foothills of the beautiful Moonbi Ranges, the Moonbi complex has one of the most tranquil surroundings of any studio in Australia.
This studio was installed by 'The Butlers' as their first home-studio and was largely responsible for establishing the LBS Music label and artists of today.
It still has a place in the heart of many Australian Country Music Supporters who make the annual trip to the 'LBS Studio Open Day' held in the front
yard, on the first Sunday of the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Over 25 recording stars perform to the large enthusiastic crowd.
The Moonbi Studio is rarely used for recording these days but is considered to be an integral part of the LBS Music Group as it's where it all began and
on occasions, equipment is transported from the Tamworth Studio to capture the relaxed feel of this mountain retreat.

Gold Coast
The Robina operation was introduced for the convenience of the many Queensland Artists recording with the label.
It also offers a relaxed environment under the Qld sun and sultry climate that goes hand in hand with one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations.
This studio is mainly used for overdubs and mixing these days complete with pool and regular features of a Lindsay Butler Studio.
Robina is also only approximately 5 - 10 minutes from most of the main beaches, resorts and restaurants of the Gold Coast, a few minutes from Robina
Town Centre and the internationally acclaimed Pacific Fair shopping Centre and a short walk to Robina Woods golf course.
The Gold Coast studio is also a digital facility.

Tamworth
Situated on the New England Highway in Australia's Country Music Capital, this studio is the figurehead of Lindsay Butler Studios.
The studios many features include, 4 sound proof recording areas, TV lounge, awards lounge complete with kitchen and dining facilities.
Most importantly it features the latest digital technology in the control room.
It's hidden treasure is the 150 seat boutique auditorium 'Butlers' with installed sound system, stage dressing and lighting provided to accommodate live concerts and recordings, album launches, DVD shoots etc. During the festival it hosts up to 3 shows per day with various package shows.
It also displays the 'Australian Country Music Wall of Honour' paying tribute to artists making a contribution to the Australian recording industry.
