The House of Miracles recording studio is up and running in its new location in a large 1860s stone carriage house in Cambridge, Ontario.

The main hall is over 1000 square feet - as big as the entire former House Of Miracles in London.

The 500 sq.ft mastering room was designed from scratch with critical listening as its primary purpose - there are no obstructions between the speakers and the ears, and extensive acoustic design has made the room as neutral and revealing as possible. I use mastering tools made by Studer, Manley, Crane Song, Lavry, RME, Von Schweikert, Universal Audio, Sonnox, Massey, and others.

The hall has many useful and interesting features, including:

• a repair and woodworking shop
• a Hammond organ with Leslie speaker
• an enormous gas stove
• many guitars in odd shapes and sizes
• a Sohmer grand piano and a Gourlay upright
• some excellent tube amplifiers
• a very handsome drumset
• various microphones and mic amps
• ProTools and a Mac Pro
• assorted brass and woodwind instruments
• some outboard processors and effects
• sweet silence at any time of day or night

There is now a glass-walled "isolation booth", but the couch is still not leather.

Hardware, club sandwiches, and thrift stores are all just a block away.

Within a somewhat larger circumference (but easy to reach by foot) can be found:

• a Scottish bakery
• parks
• hospital
• pizza
• LCBO and Beer Stores
• very good coffee
• the remains of The Central Hotel
• snacks
• the Grand and Speed rivers
• a good breakfast special

My rate for all audio services is $70 per hour. Please call or email for more information, or just stop in to take a look. But call first eh.
