Steve Major Engineer / Producer, Toronto / Montreal
I'm thrilled to say that the new Verge Studio at the Music Mansion is approaching launch. Bands, engineers, and producers are welcome and will find it a veritable music factory. The design focus was two things, work-flow efficiency and creative vibe... coupled with uncompromising equipment qua... three things: efficiency, vibe, and uncompromising equipment quality. and complementary acoustic zones.
My focus is helping indie musicians make great records by offering affordable production and elite-studio experience. After honing my studio chops in Montreal as technical director of the venerablePlanet StudiosI moved here to operate as XM Satellite Radio Toronto's chief sound engineer. On top of a few records and EPs, over the last four years I've engineered the better part of a thousand XM studio and concert recordings and live broadcasts. This has simply been an amazing opportunity to work with a multitude of different sounds and to be a part of the development of some of Canada's most talented and creative bands. I can't say enough about the positive effect of XM, and specifically The Verge, XM87 on both my life and music culture, but I can name a studio in its honour.
Audio Production Solutions
My first passion is creative record-making, but having worked in multiple large facilities I've encountered a breadth of audio projects and bring a professionalism to match. In trying to keep flexible, I accommodate different kinds of budgets and mainly use ProTools HD/LE to maintain compatibility between studios and clients.
