Le Studio - Attacked and Vandalized !!!!! August 2015

Heard the unfortunate news that the former Le Studio building in Morin Heights, Quebec has been attacked and severely destructed by vandals! Damn you vandals! Why don't you have any respect for another person's property? Don't you realize that you just destroyed a historic building in Canadian history! Why???

The video below is taken from the Le Studio YouTube channel. Kevin, the host of the channel has already released 2 parts of a 3 part video documentary series on Le Studio. Part 3 has not been released yet but, will be the completion of the video series. Now Kevin is at a loss on how to move forward with part 3.

When you are done watching this video and seeing the senseless destruction of a historic building, I suggest you go to the RUSH YouTube page and watch 3 videos that were recorded right there in the Le Studio. The songs are, "Tom Sawyer", "Limelight", and "Vital Signs". All these tracks come from RUSH's 1980 album called Moving Pictures.

Le Studio Complex in Morin Heights, QC is dying slowly!!!

The former Le Studio Complex in Morin Heights, QC now sadly stands in ruins! The current owners of the once famous recording studio have let the building fall into great disrepair!!! It is sad to see this studio dying slowly deep in the forests of Morin Heights. I just found the most recent video taken in July 2014. The camera eye reveals the building in its current condition. The weather and elements have taken their tole on the building while vandalism is completely apparent.

The currents owners have done nothing to the building or the lands surrounding it since they purchased it a number of years ago. That is really so sad that they are letting this building die a slow death. I think the owners should sell the property to someone who is willing to put the work in to bring the studio complex back to life again. At the current rate of decay, there is a possibility that this building will not survive much longer!!! Someone needs to rescue it from its peril....

Here is a the video I found yesterday showing the deterioration of the building.

Le Studio - Temple Of Sound - Episode Two

Today, I watched episode two of the Le Studio - Temple of Sound documentary series. Episode one was released last year which is the history of how the studio was created.
Episode two talks about the studio in its current state of ruin. The current owners of the building purchased it with ideas to create something new but, to date those plans have fallen through the cracks. Episode two talks about 80% of the building except for the actual recording studio part. That part is will be dedicated to a full episode three.

Here is the video of episode two:

If you didnt watch episode one then, you probably should watch it first so that you will be informed of the history of the studio first.

Here is the video for episode one:

The Enduring Legacy of SSL

Recently, I watched the first episode of a documentary about the famous recording studio, Le Studio located in Morin Heights, Quebec. From watching the video I learned that Le Studio had one of the first SSL recording consoles installed in the studio. The SSL console was used to record a number of great artists most notably the band RUSH. The SSL consoles are magic and it is claimed that SSL consoles have recorded more platinum albums than any other console. There have been so many great albums recorded with them throughout the years on the SSL consoles.

Taken from the blog page for Universal Audio, is an article called "The Enduring Legacy of SSL" describing the history and importance of the SSL brand of recording consoles in music history. Please click on the link below to read the article. Enjoy!
