About
Lites Down is a 2000 sq ft recording facility located in Rosemont Petite Patrie. The space includes a central control room, large live room, lounge, functional kitchen, and unique salle de bain.
The control room revolves around our vintage Ward Beck Systems console. Integrated right hand patch bay gives endless access to outboard hardware and routing flexibility. Our control room offers comfortable seating for clients with a view facing west towards Mont Royal.
The live room contains a 1950's Willis upright piano, Hammond A100 with Leslie Cabinet, 1970's Ludwig drums with space for full band tracking. Two isolated booths are connected to the live room. The live room can assist musicians in many recording or pre production projects.
The lounge also overlooks Mont Royal, facing west. A fully functional kitchen keeps sessions rolling smooth and caffeine warm. WIFI is provided.
