BIO
Established in 2010 by Juno Award winning musician/producer Tommy Mac (Hedley), the Beatlab Studio caters to artists whose goal is to make cohesive, professional quality recordings in a relaxed and inspiring environment. Designed by Chris Potter, studio designer and builder for Bryan Adams (Warehouse Studios), Chad Kroeger and Joey Moi (Mountain View), GGGarth Richardson (Nimbus and The Farm
Studios) and Sarah Mclaughlin among others, the Beatlab offers the perfect combination of new and old school recording techniques and technology to capture the sound you desire. We are proud to have Juno nominated engineer Dean Maher as the studio’s head engineer and audio consultant. Dean is known for his skillful engineering style and for carefully crafting mixes that allow him to work with some of the industries elite: Elton John, AC/DC, Michael Buble, Slayer and Gene Simmons as well as more recently; Hedley, Trapt, Rise Against, Atreyu, From Autumn To Ashes and Marianna’s Trench to name but a few. This combination of artists and engineers working together results in a full service professional recording studio that is perfect for any project from independent to major label. From tracking to mixing, we provide competitive rates, an extensive gear list and access to world-class producers and engineers. Located in Langley, British Columbia, The Beatlab is a short drive from Vancouver and lies within the beautiful confines of the Fraser Valley. Accommodations can conveniently be provided on site with full amenities for artists coming from out of town. PRINCIPLES
A studio concept by artists for artists, the Beatlab operates on three basic principles:
1. GREAT SOUNDING GEAR: The Beatlab’s gear list is the result of our never-ending quest to find the best sounding gear for recording and mixing. Every piece in our extensive collection represents gear that not only sounds great, but also has mojo and soul!
2. Our live room is praised by producer and player alike for its rich, balanced acoustics and can be configured for a live or tight sound with our custom made diffuser/absorber wall panels.
3. COMFORTABLE AND CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT: The Beatlab is all about vibe and making you comfortable in order to spark creativity and maximize your performance. The Beatlab is more than just a studio, it is an experience!
