Secret Door is avail for long term evening and weekend rental! Ideal for a producer or engineer with a home setup who needs an ultra pro space to finalize mixes, have clients in, and track in a pro/sound proofed space. In the @joaocarvalhomastering building. Available immediately. $1250 (+HST) per month. Fridays 6pm–Monday morning 9am is all yours, and up to 2 weeknights 7pm on. We could talk about alternate time avails as well. Plus, I include for your use any days when I’m working in other studios, on vacation or otherwise not using it. That usually works out to a solid 6+ additional weeks per year. Open to discussing some different arrangements. The room is designed so that anyone can walk in with a MacBook, plug in one USB-C and every single piece of gear, instrument, midi, speakers, monitors, and patchbay is ready to go with your setup. 32 channels of I/O via Antelope Orion+, UA X4 also available. It’s a great sounding mix and tracking room. Martin Pilchner designed control room and booth with impeccable sound proofing and treatment. Petrof piano is in the booth. Large enough to track drums. I designed the rig for both speed and quality. Top shelf analog outboard, boutique and vintage pics, great monitoring, really nice collection of instruments. My design philosophy is to create a rig where you can use real instruments with the speed of using VI’s. Everything plugged in and ready to record all the time. Great space to have clients. Private lounge, full kitchen, coffee service included

Game 7 Springer dinger. Still soaked in booze. Legendary game. Let’s go Jays!

When we tell you this song made the whole room cry….

We had the pleasure of hosting our good friend Tim Abraham’s 50th birthday fundraiser in support of @wearedarkspark Couldn’t have been a better night, special thanks to all who preformed. We’ll be sharing more performances throughout the week but in the meantime here is a monster of a performance from @rylandjamesmusic

A little raw clip of me cutting the adlibs in the bridge of “Passenger Side” with @tim_abraham ✨🖤 fun fact: adlib passes really scare me but this one was pretty fun • • • #vocals #newmusic #singer #exploremusic

Some songs come together in a day. Passenger Side is one of those songs that just never seemed to be right, until it was. @callmekirstyn and I started working on this song in the middle of Covid. I loved the song and picked it as the second song we ever started together. And then it became one of those arrangements that I just couldn’t find. Maybe because it started as an acoustic guitar, kicks and claps kind of thing in the writing demo, and that’s not where we wanted to head for the records we were making. Maybe because we had to do a bunch more songs to find the sound of the project. Either way, we just kind of gave up on it after a while, and honestly it was one of those songs that just made me feel like I kinda suck. I knew it could be great, but it wasn’t coming together. Or so I thought. Kirstyn hollered at me a couple months ago and said, “I want Passenger Side to be my next single!” What? I can’t even listen to that one…but I went ahead and pulled up the last of many versions that had been collecting dust on the hard drive for a whiiiiile. And holy shit. It was really good. I actually kinda loved it. I guess we just got too close to it and needed time away to hear it and feel it. So we polished it up, had @soundsbytompa put some magical strings on it, and, well, here it is and we’re all pretty proud of it. 4 years and 3 studios later it’s out. Thanks to @thisisbryn for being there for the journey, for the great vibes and ideas. And thanks to my go-to finisher @joaocarvalhomastering for the killer mastering. Awesome video by @homesweetsessions Love you @callmekirstyn . Thanks for letting me be a part of this. Find it on whatever streaming whatever that you use

Stay tuned friends, I cannot wait to share what we have goin on in the lab! #musician #canadianmusic #countryrock #countrymusic #acoustic #indie #singersongwriter
