EMAC Recording Studios
EMAC Recording Studios is a music and commercial recording facility in downtown London Ontario Canada, established in 1979 by Robert Nation and Joe Vaughan. It offers services for Radio production and TV and Film.
Building
[edit]EMAC Studios is located at 432 Rectory Street in downtown London, Ontario. The building was originally a Salvation Army church built in the 1900s before it was converted into a recording facility in 1990. The renovation and acoustic design was done by Andy Condon[1] to the specifications set by Robert and Joe.
The original EMAC Recording Studios was first located in downtown London in a building which also housed CKSL Radio. It was originally designed as an audio/visual facility, and was later renovated in 1985 once EMAC had begun commercial and jingle work. In 2000, EMAC brought on Dan Brodbeck as a new partner.[2]
Studios
[edit]The control room of Studio 1 has a 60-channel Neve V3 Series console, with GML Automation faders. The room incorporates the use of RPG rear wall diffusers to create a certified ‘Reflection Free Zone,’ and was one of the earliest of its kind in Canada.[3] Studio 2 is a smaller room and is primarily used as an edit suite. It houses a 36-channel Sony MXP3036 console with Sony ADS3000 automation. This space also has a Pro Tools rig for editing purposes, as well as music, dialogue and sound effect production.[4]
