Engineer at the console in the Resonate recording studio in Edmonton

Recording Studio

A place where songs take shape.

You don’t need a finished song to start. Come in with what you have and we’ll figure out the right place to begin.

A work of art in progress.

That’s how the studio treats whatever you bring in – a demo, a fragment, an idea, or a question. Where the music goes from there is decided in the room, not by a template or a formula.

Inside a session

The work is collaborative, guided by what the music needs rather than by a clock. What actually happens depends on what you brought in and where you want to take it – and on the conversation that opens once we’re listening together. The pace is set by the song.

01

Listen to what’s there

The conversation runs ahead of anything technical. Before tracking, mixing, or any production decisions, we sit with what you brought in and figure out where the music wants to go.

02

Find the way in

From there, we identify where the work actually wants to start. Sometimes that’s recording a fresh take, sometimes it’s reworking what’s already on tape, sometimes it’s a conversation about arrangement before anything else happens.

03

Make progress that serves the music

Tracking, arranging, production, or simply spending time responding to what’s already there. The focus stays on steady, thoughtful progress – the kind that serves the song rather than the schedule.

A room built to listen.

The Resonate live room with drum kit, acoustic treatment panels, and angled walls

The studio runs three connected spaces. A control room with sightlines to the tracking floor, a live room with a vintage acoustic upright piano and room for a full band, and a dedicated vocal booth. Instruments live with the rooms – multiple drum kits, keyboards, a rack of guitars and amps – so sessions can stay in motion without chasing gear.

The build itself is purpose-made for recording. Double-wall construction, non-parallel walls to keep sound from bouncing back into the mic, floated floors that decouple the rooms acoustically, and a dedicated air-treatment system so HVAC never shows up on a quiet take. The rooms sound good before anyone touches a plugin.

What we offer

Recording, mixing, mastering, and production – each handled by engineers who work on it daily.

Recording

Tracking sessions in the live room or the vocal booth. Solo, full-band, overdubs, or live-off-the-floor depending on what the song asks for.

Mixing

Pulling all the tracks together into a finished song. Standard mixes for most material, advanced mixes when the arrangement demands more.

Mastering

Final polish before release. Standalone work, or as an add-on for clients who also mixed with us.

Production

Conor takes a project from idea to release-ready. Three package tiers depending on the scope of what you’re bringing in.

Two-hour minimum on recording sessions. All other services billed flat per song or per package.
