Studio A at Phase One, built in 1974 by
renowned designer George Augsperger, is the quintessential
recording environment. From it's vintage Neve console in the
control room to its acoustically pleasing 1,500 square foot
recording area, everything about this room says “"classic ".
The control room's centerpiece is a 14’
foot Neve console, the result of joining two Neves together,
and thus it features both 1073 and 1084 modules.
There is a powerful ProTools HD system as
well as Studer 2” (24 and 16 track) and 1/2 analog recorders.
Well respected outboard gear fills four bays in the producers
desk, including classic and modern compressors, eqs, effects
and mic-pres.
A wide variety of microphones are available
–(70 in all) and if we don't have the mic you need,
we can usually rent it.
A Hammond B3 organ and Leslie cabinet, a Yamaha C7 Disclavier piano and a variety of guitar amps are always available and complimentary.
Seating for eleven, versatile monitoring, sync to picture capability, a large private lounge and wired or wireless internet connectivity make Studio A an easy place to spend the better part of a day.
Legendary artists such as Sting, Herbie Hancock, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Harry Chapin, Rush, Triumph, Tom Cochrane, BTO, Anne Murray, Air Supply, Saga, Tragically Hip, Jann Arden, Enrique Iglesias, Barenaked Ladies, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chantal Kreviazuk are some of the many who have cut tracks in Studio A at Phase One.
