The studio, where artists recorded and stayed, was the venue for many notable Canadian and international artists, including Rush (it was nicknamed "Rush's Abbey Road"[1]), The Police, Bee Gees, Chicago, David Bowie and Cat Stevens. Perry described the faculty as "It was like the United Nations. I had people from London, New York, Quebecois, all over the world."[2] Renowned for its retreat-like location as well as its state-of-the-art equipment,[2] it was one of the earliest studios to install Solid State Logic mixing desk and RADAR digital-recording equipment.[3] Perry sold the studio in 1988. In 2008 the studio had gone out of business, and as of 2015 the property was up for sale.[4] On 11 August 2017, the building was partially destroyed by "a suspicious" fire.[5] HistoryAndré Perry gained fame as a recording engineer working for John Lennon, and in 1974 was looking to expand his studio, built in a downtown Montreal church. Perry worked with the Olive Company to develop one of the first recording consoles with motorized faders feeding two 24 track Studers synchronized to provide 48 tracks. He moved to Morin Heights, where he owned a lake, and built his studio there,[3] with his wife Yaël Brandeis. The idea was to give recording artists a venue where they could record and live in a creative atmosphere, near the Laurentian Mountains:[6] The Bee Gees, who recorded Children of the World (1976) at Le Studio, stayed for five months.[7] Initially it included a guesthouse about a half-hour's drive away, but it was accidentally burned down by Roy Thomas Baker and Ian Hunter, according to studio designer and engineer Nick Blagona. Later, a house across the lake was acquired and expanded.[7] By the early 1980s it had a reputation as a premium North American recording venue, after Rush, David Bowie, and April Wine had recorded albums there.[8] In 1986 Le Studio issued stock on the Montreal Exchange looking to acquire funding for building a second studio, with audio and video capabilities, in the US state of Washington. 1.1 million shares valued at $3.50 were sold. Perry and Brandeis retained majority interests. They spent $500,000 on a Quantel Mirage digital video effects unit, hoping to install more equipment to allow the recording of sound effects and film music, as well as a Synclavier room.[9] In 1988 Perry and Brandeis sold the studio,[10] and Perry retired in the early 1990s. The studio, by then called Studio Morin Heights, was acquired in 1993 by L'Equipe Spectra, an entertainment company that had a number of local artists on record. Rush and other bands continued to do their tracking there. The new owners also built a new studio room, called "Far Side", which offered a digital RADAR audio recorder and allowed local bands with modest budgets to benefit from the amenities.[3] The {{convert|233|acre|km2|adj=on}} site was listed for sale in July 2007, with an asking price of C$2.45 million.[11] The studio was shut down in March 2003 by Spectra.[10] The property remained for sale until 2009, when the land was purchased with the intent to convert the area to a retreat and spa. Other international artists to record at Le Studio include Nazareth, The Police, Sting, Cat Stevens, The Bee Gees, Keith Richards, Kim Mitchell and Bryan Adams. In January 1992 Celine Dion recorded "With This Tear", a song written by Prince and produced by Walter Afanasieff for her Celine Dion album. {{citation needed|reason=listed on Celine Dion web site under the news section|date=July 2016}} Rush recorded at Le Studio during "the peak and the end" of the Terry Brown era.[12]Some of the engineering staff included Nick Blagona,[7] Ed Stasium, Leanne Unger, Frank Opolko, Paul Northfield, Glen Robinson, Robert DiGioia, Paul Milner, Simon Pressey, Jacques Deveau, George Pelekoudis, and Stacy Le Gallee. The house and grounds are featured in the music videos of the recording sessions of the Rush songs "Tom Sawyer",[12] "Limelight" and "Vital Signs".[13] The studio is also seen in April Wine's music video for "I Like to Rock." Also, an episode of Popular Mechanics for Kids was taped there, with Elisha Cuthbert demonstrating recording and mixing techniques.[14] Founder André Perry sold Le Studio in 1988. It was sold again to L'Équipe Spectra the Montreal based music production company best known for the Montreal International Jazz Festival. It was then sold at a loss to a title company. The facility closed in 2008 where it then was unoccupied and fell into disrepair and was vandalized many times.[15][16] A US $2.4 million kickstarter campaign was begun in 2015 to rebuild Le Studio but only $4,000 was pledged.[5] On 11 August 2017, the studio's building was partially destroyed by a fire in a suspected case of arson.[17] The residential area of the studio was completely destroyed. The recording area still stands but is severely damaged. Geddy Lee of Rush told the CBC, "it was truly a part of the great Canadian landscape... and literally a home away from home for us. It will always have a special place in our hearts."[18][5] Albums and songs recorded at Le Studio
Console historySource[24]
LeStudio MobileFirst built in 1979, LeStudio Mobile provided recording services for live music and special events across North America. The first truck included a 12-input mixing console and 4-track recording. By 2010, a pair of trucks provided 8 mixing consoles on-board provided a total of 144 microphone inputs and 244 tracks of simultaneous recording permanently installed in a {{Convert|7.5|foot|meter}} wide 5-ton truck.[25][26] It was used to record such live albums as Rush's Exit... Stage Left, The Indspire Awards, Hockey Night in Canada and the Montreal International Jazz Festival.[25] The company covered the Juno Awards for more than 23 years, adding a second truck in 2008.[27] The final large event handled by LeStudio was the Opening, Closing, and Medal Ceremonies of the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. Through the years LeStudio Mobile evolved with the industry, focusing first on live recorded albums, then audio for DVD productions before moving more into producing audio for live productions While live music productions for HD television brought new business to Le Studio Mobile around 2010, the remote recording business continued to shrink.[28] As of 2018, Le Studio Mobile had ceased operation.[29] ReferencesNotes1. ^Mobley 259. 2. ^Myers 95-96. 3. ^1 2 {{cite news |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=4gsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA91 |title= Studio Morin Heights Reaches Far: Quebec Facility Embraces Int'l, Local Acts |last= Verna |first=Paul |date= 25 February 1995 |work=Billboard |pages= 91–91 |accessdate= 4 November 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2015/06/09/le-studio-morin-heights-for-sale-after-years-of-neglect/ |title= Le Studio, Morin Heights for sale after years of neglect |last= Kilkenny |first=Carmel |publisher=Radio Canada International |date=9 June 2015 |accessdate=18 June 2015}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url= http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/le-studio-fire-morin-heights-1.4243188/ |title= Fire destroys legendary Le Studio where Bowie, The Police recorded |publisher=CBC News |date=11 August 2017 |accessdate=13 August 2017}} 6. ^Mobley 259-62. 7. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last=Peacock|first=Ted|date=July 2011|title=Interview with Nick Blagona|journal=Journal on the Art of Record Production|volume=5|issn=1754-9892|url=http://arpjournal.com/812/interview-with-nick-blagona/}} 8. ^Sharp 69. 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4SQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT73|title=Le Studio Issues Stock on Montreal Exchange|last=LaPointe|first=Kirk|date=16 August 1986|work=Billboard|pages=72–73|accessdate=4 November 2014}} 10. ^1 Mobley 262. 11. ^Sale brochure {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008103831/http://www.naimontreal.ca/PropDocs/domainemorinheights.pdf |date=8 October 2007 }} The property was still for sale as of November 2008 12. ^1 Mobley 260. 13. ^NeilPeart.net - News posting 26 April 2006 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdCDcdZoJug|title=Popular Mechanics for Kids Season 1 Ep 22 "Music Production"|first=|last=FilmRise|date=9 February 2014|accessdate=14 December 2017|publisher=YouTube}} 15. ^{{cite news|url=https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/music/le-studio-legendary-morin-heights-recording-spot-in-ruins|title=Le Studio: Legendary Morin Heights recording spot in ruins|last=Kovac|first=Adam|date=14 August 2015|work=Montreal Gazette|accessdate=15 August 2015}} 16. ^{{Cite news|url=https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/music/le-studio-legendary-morin-heights-recording-spot-in-ruins|title=Le Studio: Legendary Morin Heights recording spot in ruins|date=14 August 2015|work=Montreal Gazette|accessdate=3 September 2018|language=en-US}} 17. ^{{cite news |url= https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/morin-heights-legendary-le-studio-the-site-of-suspicious-fire |title= Morin Heights' legendary Le Studio the site of "suspicious" fire |first= Sidhartha |last=Banerjee |date= 11 August 2017 |newspaper= Montreal Gazette |accessdate=11 August 2017 }} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2017/08/remembering-le-studio-rush-react-after.html|title=Remembering Le Studio - Rush React After Fire Destroys Studio|website=News.cygnus-x1.net|accessdate=14 December 2017}} 19. ^{{cite news|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qCQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT64|title=Canada!
