Who We Are
Located in the heart of Kensington Market, one of Canada’s most eclectic, artistic neighbourhoods, Kensington Sound is an established Toronto recording studio, as well as one of Canada’s oldest recording studios. The studio has developed into the quintessential combination of old and new, where analog and digital technologies are effortlessly combined to provide the ideal environment for the creative, soulful mind and at the same time offer seamless and productive efficiency.
With a vintage circa 70′s British Midas console, outboard Neve compressors, and a great selection of precious vintage microphones, Kensington Sound provides a truly authentic vintage ‘front end’ recording platform that is second to none. From there, the digital domain is state of the art Logic Pro 9 or Pro Tools 9 with a 27” Quad Core i7 iMac. The studio will also be offering 2″ 30 or 15 ips. recording on its MCI tape machine as well circa 70′s (all formats supported i.e. 8, 16, 24 track). Monitors are high-end boutique Tetra speakers (Ottawa, Canada) exclusively designed for Kensington Sound‘s parameters. More detailed information regarding technical specifications and a list of our equipment are available below. Please contact us for an appointment to visit our facilities. We hope that we will be able to include you in continuing this wonderful musical legacy.
