The session
What a recording session here actually looks like
- 1
You book the hours you need
Pick a date and a start time on the calendar and choose how many hours you want. One hour is the minimum. The calendar shows real availability — if a slot is open, the room is genuinely free.
- 2
We set the room up before you get here
Mic, stand, pop filter, headphones and interface are patched and level-checked ahead of your slot. You are not paying studio time to watch somebody plug in cables.
- 3
You record, we engineer
An engineer runs the session — mic choice, gain, headphone mix, punch-ins and comping as you go. Send a beat, a reference track or lyrics ahead of time and it will already be loaded when you walk in.
- 4
You leave with your files
Your takes are yours. Take the session files with you, or leave them here and add mixing and mastering on top.
Nothing about that list is unusual for a professional studio — it is only worth spelling out because plenty of rooms rented by the hour in this city are a mic in a spare bedroom and a person who will happily let your hour disappear into setup. Here the room is ready when your slot starts.
Rates
What it costs to record here
Studio rate
$65 / hour
Engineer included. Your first session is 25% off, and paying in full 24 hours ahead takes another 10% off.
Book more hours, pay less per hour
$60 / hr
4+ hours
$55 / hr
15+ hours
$50 / hr
30+ hours
That is up to 23% off the standard rate at 30 hours ($50 an hour). Bulk hours are prepaid and used whenever you like — a single booking cannot run long enough to reach the top tiers on its own.
A 25% deposit holds the room (minimum $30) and the balance is due at the session. Deposits go through Stripe or PayPal; e-transfer is fine too.
Recording is the hourly service — pick Recording Session when you book. If you want the finished song mixed and mastered afterwards, that is quoted separately on the mixing and mastering page.
The room
What you are recording on
Microphones
UAD Sphere DLX, Rode NTK tube condenser, Rode NT-1A, Shure SM7B and Shure SM58. The engineer picks the one that suits your voice — you can also ask for a specific mic ahead of the session.
Front end
SSL 2+ or Audient EVO 16 into Pro Tools, FL Studio or Ableton Live. Monitoring on KRK Rokit 7 and Kali LP-8, closed-back headphones for tracking.
Live instruments
A Roland A-88 MKII weighted 88-key controller, a Fender Stratocaster and a Fender Jazz Bass live here. Live drums, guitar and bass overdubs are available through our session players.
Genres
Hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, electronic, Latin, Afrobeats, country, jazz and classical crossover have all been tracked in this room. Mic choice and processing change with the genre.
Hours
Open 12 PM to 2 AM every day except Wednesday, so a late session is normal here rather than a favour. Online booking opens from 3 PM — call or text for an earlier start.
First time in a studio
That is most of who books here. Bring water, warm your voice up before you arrive, and let the engineer handle the rest. Nobody is going to make you feel behind.
The full equipment list and a studio tour video are on the about page. You can also hear the same vocal take recorded on a phone and then on our mic, raw and finished, in the before-and-after players on the homepage.
Questions
Before you book
How much is a recording studio in Toronto per hour?
Here it is $50–$65/hr depending on how many hours you buy, with an engineer included in that rate. Your first session is 25% off, and paying in full 24 hours ahead saves another 10%.
Do I need to bring my own beat?
No, but bring one if you have one. If you do not, we can produce the track for you as a separate project — that is the music production side of the studio.
How many people can come with me?
Bring who you need for the session. Let us know in the booking notes if it is a group so the room is set up for it.
Is the engineer extra?
No. Engineering is part of the hourly rate — there is no separate operator fee and no dry-hire tier where you are left alone with the gear.
Can you tweak the mix after the session?
Yes — every hour you book includes up to 10 minutes of additional mixing or editing afterwards, and exporting stems counts against that time too. It happens after the session rather than during it, and lands within 3-5 business days of being requested. Asking on the day does not guarantee same-day: if the room is already booked, it waits its turn.
How far ahead do I need to book?
The calendar shows what is genuinely open, including same-week slots. A 25% deposit holds the time; the balance is due at the session.

Other things we do
Mixing & Mastering
Send your stems or a rough mix from anywhere — you do not have to record here. Billed by the hour with an estimate up front; turnaround is typically 3-5 business days.
Podcast Studio
A treated room, a mic per voice and every voice on its own track, so one person coughing does not cost you the whole take.
Voice-Over & ADR
Commercial reads, narration, e-learning and ADR to picture. Bring or send the script and the video and we cut to it.
Music Production & Beats
Original production built from scratch — beats, arrangement, live keys, guitar and bass, and backing tracks for your live set.
