Specialties

Music is everything for us, and it’s our only focus. Production, Recording, Mixing and Mastering is what we do.

Our control room is big and comfortable, and multiple isolation booths of various sizes are available for tracking. All recording rooms are silently air-​conditioned, and sound proofed.

Our facility can handle a top-​to-​bottom music production and recording project, but also works excellent for music creators who start their work at home, or other studios and are looking for a place to pull all the final steps of record making together (want to try recording your vocals through our vintage Neumann U87 or fet47 microphone, or run your MIDI programming out to a wide range of analog synths, or replace your sample-​based drums with live drums?).

History

Established in 2004.

Owner Mike Rocha started his recording studio career in 2004 as an intern with the late, great Haydain Neale of jacksoul, running a music production company out of the studio at the former Sony/​BMG Canadian headquarters. After acquiring his own three-​room studio space in 2006, Mike has had the opportunity to work with groundbreaking Indie acts and Major-​label artists on their full-​length LPs, EPs, and singles.

«Finally a great music store in the east of Toronto! It’s close to our studio, and where we go for strings, picks, and for getting equipment serviced.»
