Our default vocal mic is the Sony C800G — the same tube condenser on Kanye, Travis Scott, Drake, and Frank Ocean records. We also run a Neumann U87 (often paired with R&B and softer melodic vocals), plus a full set of dynamic mics for live tracking. The C800G lives in the booth as the standard vocal mic, not a rent-on-request piece.

Sony C800G → Neve 1073SPX preamp → Tube-Tech CL1B opto compressor → UAD Apollo x8 interface. The same chain elite studios run, on every vocal session — no upcharge or tier gate. The C800G captures, the 1073 adds harmonic warmth, the CL1B controls dynamics musically, and the Apollo handles conversion.

Yes. We run a Neve 1073SPX — the modern AMS Neve reissue with the original Class A circuit and Marinair-style transformers, plus a built-in EQ section. It's on more #1 records than any preamp in history, and at Lush it's the default preamp on every vocal session.

We track and mix in Pro Tools and Logic Pro on a UAD-powered chain (Apollo x8 with native and UAD plugins). Monitoring is on Yamaha HS reference monitors plus Adam Audio nearfields for mix translation, with a treated control room and isolated vocal booth.

Vocal recording with engineer is $75 CAD/hr with a 2-hour minimum. Senior engineer sessions (mixing, mastering, A/V direction) are $100 CAD/hr with a 2-hour minimum. The 6-hour daytime block from 10AM–4PM is $400 CAD flat — the best per-hour rate for tracking a project. Room-only rental (no engineer) is $250 CAD for a 5-hour bundle.

Yes — mixing & mastering is sold as a separate service tiered $249–$449 CAD per song depending on stem count, with 7-day delivery. The price includes both the mix and the master from the senior engineer team. See /mixingmastering for full tier breakdown.

No. The full vocal chain — Sony C800G, Neve 1073SPX, Tube-Tech CL1B, Apollo x8 — is included in every recording session at the standard hourly rate. No per-mic fee, no premium tier required, no boutique gear add-on. The chain is the chain on a 2-hour booking and on a full-day block.

Sessions under 4 hours require no deposit. Sessions of 4 hours or longer require a $500 CAD deposit to confirm the booking. All prices are in Canadian dollars. Full cancellation terms are on our refund policy page.

Two hours for engineer-led recording sessions ($75/hr vocal, $100/hr senior engineer). Studio room rental without engineer is sold as a 5-hour bundle at $250. The 6-hour daytime special is a single $400 flat block. We don't take 1-hour vocal bookings — two hours is the minimum to set up, warm up, and actually capture takes worth keeping.

The fastest path is a 15-minute studio tour — in person or by video — where we answer everything, walk you through the gear, and hold your date on the spot. Click any "Book a Tour" button on the site, or call 647-799-2439. You can also send an inquiry through the form on most pages and we'll reply by email.

An in-house engineer, the full vocal chain (C800G + Neve 1073 + Tube-Tech CL1B + Apollo x8), mic setup, comping, and a rough bounce of your session at the end. Optional multicam capture of the booth is available so you can post the session to your own feeds — you keep the raw footage and own the edit.

Yes. Studio room rental at $250 for 5 hours gives you the full chain to run yourself — bring your engineer, your producer, or operate it solo for cookups and demos. If you'd rather we engineer it, the $75/hr vocal recording rate includes our in-house engineer.
