Trackdown (Trackdown Digital Pty Ltd) is an independent Australian audio post and music services facility, for the film, television, music and multimedia industries. Founded in 1984 by Simon Leadley and Geoff Watson. it provides dedicated music editing services for feature films. The facilities include a purpose-built orchestral scoring stage, 5.1 control room, ADR and foley recording studios, 5.1 film pre-mix rooms, 5.1 mix rooms and five Protools edit suites. Trackdown is located in The Entertainment Quarter Moore Park.
Trackdown began as a rehearsal and 4-track recording business called, "The Studio." in Oxford Street, Sydney. It was one of Sydney’s first rehearsal/demo studios and clients included INXS, Midnight Oil, Divinyls, Do Re Mi,The Church and Dragon.
In the late 1980s The studio moved to Bondi Junction, to a couple of small rooms in the basement of Hutching’s Keyboards where Simon created Sydney’s first half inch 16-track recording studio using the Fostex B16 then E16. The business was renamed Trackdown and was the first studio to use Sony’s PCM701 digital 2-track system for final master. Clients included indie bands The Saints, Mental As Anything,Allniters, The Castanet Club, Robyne Dunn and Electric Pandas.
In 1990 Trackdown built a new studio complex in Camperdown, within the Yoram Gross Studio building. At this time, Digidesign's SoundTools software was emerging (later to evolve into Pro Tools). With a traditional Otari 24-track analogue and Dolby SR, and mixing to 2-track SoundTools, Trackdown recorded bands including Icehouse,The Angels, Midnight Oil and The Saints.
