Music Lives
Royal City Studios
Welcome to Royal City Studios… GET YOUR GROOVE ON!
- Great sound in the rehearsal studios, with no echoes or feedback, sufficient for basic recording
- Isolation from other music studios so that other musicians’ sounds do not interfere with your work, and your sounds can’t be heard by others
- Solid equipment tuned by a sound expert to help you just arrive, plug in, and rehearse
- Refreshments to fuel your work
- Replacement items in case something has been forgotten or broken (sticks, picks, strings, reeds, etc.)
- A respectful, inclusive, and fully accessible environment
- With the vast numbers of musicians and groups in Guelph, we also look forward to hearing your ideas and making this facility the best in Canada.
