Michelle is better than she gives herself credit for…extremely talented musician, engineer and producer all wrapped up in a small, friendly, happy, patient & pretty package! the best thing about recording with michelle @ the rock factory is the relaxed atmosphere and the fact she treats you like a friend and shows a genuine interest in your music and really takes on board what you are trying to achieve. michelle & mark have tons and i mean TONS of recording, producing, mixing and live sound experience! check them out..you will not regret it.

The Devonport BIG Spring Jam wouldn’t have been the same without The Rock Factory on board. Michelle and Mark supplied all the gear that was needed including front of house and pack in/pack out. I’m not too flash on the technical side of things so it was fabulous that they just got on and did it, no questions asked. That’s exactly what you need when organising an event! I would highly recommend Michelle and Mark from The Rock Factory for ANY events, big or small. They are fantastic to deal with..even with helping me make the ultimate weather call! I will definately be using The Rock Factory again for my future events.

Cars, bikes, booze, and one hell of a setup from The Rock Factory. Mark definitely made our little garage setup sound and LOOK like a miniature vector arena. Keep in mind that Mark is VERY professional and real easy to deal with, and thats exactly what you want. The perfect attitude for stressful events haha. We will definitely be using them again… and again!

The Rock Factory Rocks!

Jake – The Pancho Brothers

*****

Being in a band can be really expensive at times. The costs of gear, practice, recording, transport and even gigging all adds up at the end of the day. It’s good having people like Mark and Michelle and The Rock Factory making things like live sound, lighting, PA hirage and recording affordable for us little guys.

In our short career as a band they have provided us with live sound mixing, PA hirage and mixing for a performance on national TV, live recording, lighting and equipment hirage and most recently a live recording of one of our performances. Every time we have dealt with them they have been extremely affordable as well as highly professional, friendly and supportive.

Personally I appreciate Mark and Michelle for their support of the local music scene and would recommend them to anyone in need of sound or production services. Thank you for making our performances so much more special.

Guitarist/part manager of Mile High

“Hey Michelle & Mark,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help and hard work leading up to and on Saturday/early hours of Sunday morning!  It was an intense show with 5 bands and all of them sounchecking but I trusted Mark to deliver and he totally did.  All the backline hire was a real help too and was great to not have to change between all the bands!  Coming from a live sound background, I am always somewhat hesitant of trying out new people as live sound is definitely something that cannot go wrong if a gig is to work, but I am more than happy to use you guys again and recommend everyone else to also.  You guys are very accommodating and go out of your way to help out, something not all sound companies will do for you.  Thanks for making the show a success for us and hope to work with you guys again very soon.

“Camp A Low Hum has been described by all manner of international media as The Best Music Festival in the World, in 2009 more international acts will perform at Camp A Low Hum then any other festival in New Zealand including Big Day Out and R&V. The Rock Factory supply ALL the audio eqipment for Camp A Low Hum and are the reason why people rave about how good it sounds. Mark and Michelle are the backbone of this event, and I would have no hesitation in recommending The Rock Factory for supplying Audio Equipment for your gig or any small to medium sized event”
