The Shed Recording Studio
Affordable audio servicesin Victoria, BC

Book A session


SERVICES



Recording
At very reasonable and affordable rates, this is the perfect studio to get your
band off the ground with your first single or EP.

The Shed Studio is setup primarily for recording rock bands, but is not
exclusive to that genre.

Mixing and Mastering
Mixing is done to turn a collection of tracks and parts into one cohesive sound.
Without mixing, instruments can sound out of place, and the song will sound
rough and unfinished.

Mastering is the final touch that takes a mix from 90% to 100%, and ensures the
audio is ready for distribution on every platform.

Demos
Recording demos can be extremely useful for a new band. Most obviously, they
give you  recordings that can be sent to promoters, venues, grant committees,
etc. They also give you a chance to flesh out your songs, and make production
choices that can help you find your sound. Besides that, its also just fun.

RECORDING

Recording is done at a day rate or half day rate. Both include an engineer
present for the duration of the session

MIXING AND MASTERING

Mixing and mastering rates will be different for every song. If a song is

revisions.

PORTFOLIO


ECSTASY AND THE AGONIES

I play guitar for this band, and we are getting ready to release our first
single which we recorded at The Shed. Linked is a clip of this song.

LINDEDVIBE

Linked below are some interesting highlights from an original singer/songwriter
session.

We worked with double vocal mics, loopers, midi guitar, and harmonica. The
artist is looking for some backup, so if you'd like to work with them, I can put
you in touch.

THE CHAIN

The Chain is a local Victoria-based punk band who I had the pleasure of
recording as my first clients.

ABOUT ME

I am Ellis Frank, the engineer for the Shed. I've been playing guitar since I
was quite young, and also play bass, drums, and some keyboards. I grew up in a
very musical family. My dad is a member of Spirit of the West, and because of
that I've been lucky enough to share the stage with them, members of the
Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, and Sarah McLaughlin.

I had my first introduction to audio engineering at 10, recording multi track
covers of my favourite songs on my iPad. My first experience in a professional
studio was sitting in on recording sessions my dad managed. Since then I built
up experience in audio engineering recording demos for bands I've been in and
recording, mixing, and mastering my own music. I have been taking audio
engineering lessons with Justin LaPointe from Barnhouse Sound Productions,
elevating my skills to a professional level.

Some of my musical influences are Radiohead, Pixies, Nirvana, the Microphones,
Black Midi, Black Country New Road, Queens of the Stone Age, and Squid. On the
engineering side, I take a lot of influence from Steve Albini.

I love the Victoria underground music scene, and I hope I can be a part of that
and contribute to it with my skills and services.
