My boutique audio studio, attached to the back of my home, is a short walk from Bloor and Keele, in the High Park area of Toronto’s west end. Custom designed and built by myself , it includes a comfortable four hundred square-foot workspace with 9-foot ceilings and a 7’ x 16’ ADR-voice record room treated for optimum voice print.
The studio is equipped with a Pro Tools® HD2 running on a MacPro tower that can deliver 256 tracks of real-time audio performance while internally locked to an
HD ProRes QuickTime video file. The system has DSP acceleration for solid performance, large track counts, and greater power for plug-in processing.
A large 64” desktop workspace is provided by the system’s two LCD monitors, and clients enjoy monitoring their work on a 50” plasma screen and calibrated surround 5.1 monitoring.
