A great resource for recording and mixing. Awesome sound and value for most any project.
This downtown Toronto studio is brutally efficient and solid to the core. An array of great mics, preamps, and converters run by ProTools HD accommodate 1-6 performers in the 19'x14' live room. The room's sonic character is warm and controlled which allows for strategic live setups. All nice stuff for both hi-fi or gritty sounds.
