Small Studios is a 16 track digital project studio in downtown Sydney, Nova Scotia. It's owned and operated by Harry Doyle. We are a Pro Tools 8 LE Studio running out of a second storey 9x16 spare bedroom. All styles welcome, specializing in the rock scene.

We also record live gigs to our 16 track Pro Tools mobile setup. The charge for this is $300 and includes a 3 hour mix session back at the studio. Co-engineer Alicia Penney will be on hand to help man the ship and mix your live vocals if the bar is cool with it. We do not record from the board unless we can get multitrack outputs- we mic everything and track it independently of the house system.
