MAGMA STUDIOS was formed in 2000 by Lucas Truman. It's first location was on Seymour Street across from the old Luvafair. It now resides in North Vancouver right on the water @ Lonsdale Quay. With a much larger tracking room and control room, we have been able to get some great sounds out of this new facility. We have worked with artists from all walks of life from rock, pop, alternative, hip-hop to even jazz and classical music recorded here with the highest quality of equipment.Here is a list:Console and Studio Monitoring:AMS-Neve 8816 16-channel Class A summing mixer Panasonic Ramsa WR-DA7 digital mixer (for monitoring MOTU 2408) Adam Audio S2.5A Active with A.R.T.
