Located in the bustling urban core of Almonte Ontario is The Signal Path. This two-storey, small town main street studio has many good acoustic options, ample tracking space and isolation, a great microphone collection, and plenty of headphone mixes. Like any of my studio designs, it is meant to be comfortable and feel more relaxed than clinical.

The system is centered around a well maintained Neve 8014, Protools systems, and Studer tape decks. There is plenty of outboard gear, with everything properly cabled and cased for location recording.

The studio is well stocked with a variety of musical Instruments. Up the street is the old town hall, where a 9’ Steinway D series piano resides in a large tracking space.

Catering and accommodation options are available.
