HISTORY \| LOCATION \| CONTACT US

What began as an 8 track audio facility in 1984 has now grown to a fully automated 128+ track state of the art recording studio, recently renovated in 2005.

The rooms have been acoustically designed and contain high quality equipment including names such as a Focusrite, Millennia Media, Amek, Pultec, UREI, dbx, Lexicon, and others. We have digital editing software, including what is fast becoming the new standard, Nuendo, as well as compatibility with all the major sequencing packages such as MOTU Digital Performer, Cubase, and Logic. We have 32 tracks of Tascam DA88 digital machines as well as our Otari 2-inch 24 track analogue tape machine. Also, we have a beautiful 7 foot Yamaha grand piano, perfect for session work, and an available Hammond A100/Leslie combo for that authentic sound.

If you enjoy vintage equipment, you would want to use one of the three AKG C-24 stereo-tube microphones we have on our premises. We also can provide Neumann or Geffel microphones as part of the wide variety of mics that we offer.

As well as excellent local musicians and arrangers, our connections to Nashville, Tennessee provide access to many of its popular singers, arrangers, and studio musicians who have become a powerful addition to our resource base.

We also provide many additional services such as Project management, CD manufacturing, Cassette duplication, custom graphics, and web design. If you don't have the time or patience to co-ordinate an album project, we can handle every aspect of the job from budgeting to recording to product manufacturing.

Our goal has been to become a quality international recording facility with world wide connections and resources. That dream has become a reality and today our clients come from many places including U.S.A., England, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Holland, Africa, Ireland, and Scotland.

We have received awards including three Canadian JUNO's, several Juno nominations and an American Gold Record, and have been involved with many high profile projects over the years. We have grown through the 23 years we have been in operation, and as a result we bring experience we have gathered to every project we are involved with.
