Best recording experience of my life. The mixing was top notch, the recording and…read moremic-pairing/engineer spent time swapping out mics to get the perfect sound for our instrumentation, and the environment was overtly gorgeous, with crystals mounted on the banister adjacent to all the famous records on the wall that were cut at this studio. It was a blessing to share the same monitoring room couch as other greats like Michael Harris of Idiot Pilot. But all of this would only be three stars in my book. The finished product arrived at the end of the day and sounded far superior than I expected it would. The bass was lush and present, the percussion punchy yet gentle and textured, and the instrumentation had such a great stereo image. This was the fourth star. I'm giving them the coveted fifth star purely based on how much love the engineers put into their job and how much they cared for me as a client. I had the utmost faith in them throughout the day as they guided me through the motions and I felt like family at the end of the session. I will be taking the trip 2 hours north to Bellingham for all my recording needs going forward. Go Bayside!

I took lessons at Steveston Music from the ages of 10 to 16. I first started my studies with Ron…read moreSamworth who later went on to become one of the most sought after jazz players in town. Later, I studied with Ron Phillips the owner Steveston music, and Craig Bickell, and I am still digesting the depth of musical wisdom these players have shared with me over the years. From these lessons, I went on to study music at Douglas College, before transferring to UBC studying with Michael Strutt. The current teaching group is just as strong. One of the current teachers at SMC, Phil Korytko, I have had the honour of playing guitar with from time to time. I can easily state he one of the best guitarists I have ever met. From beginners to advanced students, this group is worth checking out.

I was driving the mains as hard as they could and I managed to dial in a severe sonic wall of full,rich sound with just enough top end to deliver the highs. The seemingly innocent looking jbl monitors ensure u hear every dynamic nuance guaranteeing a perfect reference point and a sinister level of decibels should u need to unleash some serious sound pressure levels. If you know how to mix, the gear is more than capable of producing blistering levels of sonic mayhem yet remain clean and defined throughout the entire mix. Rock solid sound proofing and acoustically treated walls maintain low leakage and controlled sound absorbtion. The shure sm 48 mics lack the crisp brightness and full bottom of it's big brother the sm58, thus needing a small boost in the top end of ur strip. Even then the sm48 falls short of the legendary 58 sound. Very similar but not. Beringer boards r simple,powerful and boasts more than decent 24 bit onboard rotary controlled sound fx. The Beringher /Jbl systems r responsive and effective choices for tight clean sound with enough head room and punch to propel you when needed, yet subtle enough to still be sweet and dynamic as well making these rooms suitable for all styles of projects/bands. Clean, secure ,comfortable pro rooms w lots of outlets and space. Lighting would not go off which drove me nuts,as I bought my own lighting which had to compete with bright overhead floods. A dimmer would be a perfect addition. Love the complimentary fresh coffee and chilled water provided. I can't w8 2 return for the next session!!! Plug in turn up,BLAST OFF! U should go,...

Worst customer service ever experienced in any business. Been a regular customer of Mystic Rhythms…read morefor easily 5 years. Almost every week we rehearsed here, and almost every week the owner would berate us for reasons beyond understanding. Not kidding around here, it's genuinely bizarre. We continued to play here through Covid and support the owner, Sean, yet even then we would leave most nights feeling bad because we weren't allowed to go without being "put in our place". It feels awful writing this review because of the amount of time I have spent here, having fun with friends. You can be as respectful as possible to his business and him, and still feel like you are a nuisance. Today, I was called an "asshat" by Sean because we expressed concern about getting to the studio in the snow, as we all drive from various locations. He told us if we didn't show up we would be charged (even after 5 years of loyal business), then after we figured out a new way to get there he insulted me and blocked me for saying we would be making it work. I wish there was two sides to this story, but there unfortunately isn't. Although the rates here are good, IT IS NOT WORTH DEALING WITH SEAN. You get to a point where the value does not outweigh the abuse. We had asked ourselves for sometime why we put up with it, on a weekly basis, and today we finally have made our mind up why this business needs to be avoided.
