National Treasures' Studio
at Pucks Farm.
 Straight up Highway 400, about a half hour north of Toronto, head west on Highway 9, then south on Main Street, there you'll find Schomberg, where it's a different world. It's only 25 minutes from Toronto. Accommodations can be arranged.
The population's just under three thousand. The main street has an orange feed mill at one end and a gas station at the other. In between you've got three stop signs, four churches, a library (only open in the afternoons), the general store (built as a feed mill in 1884), a bank, a post office and a pub in what was once a Victorian mansion.
Further down the road, turn south onto Concession 11 there you'll find us, the world renowned Puck's Farm. One hundred and seventy acres worth of real working farm, an assortment of critters, ponies and hay rides, pick your own fruits and vegetables and lots of clean air, not to mention, one of the best recording studios in North America.
 The National Treasures Recording Studio, located on Puck's Farm is a perfect throwback to a quieter, more realistic time when life was more... analog.
A good room is one of the most important components of the recording art. National Treasures' is is built with 150-year-old elm, ancient drumlin stone, with 28' high ceilings - EXTRAORDINARY for drums, live off the floor and "in concert" recording. A PETROF grand piano, C-3 organ with Leslie, EMT plates, GREAT mic collection (M49, U67, C800G, BK-5, etc.), Studer 2" tape machine, Classic Neve and MCI consoles, 24-bit hard disc editing, EXPERIENCED ears & relaxed setting.

The Control Room is home-like and comfortable. When there's a session going on it is not unusual to find one of our resident guinea fowl loitering around outside the glass door that leads to the barnyard. There's also a kitchen and a lounge and of course one hundred and seventy acres for relaxation when you need it.
"What a great place to make music," is a frequent refrain. Adjectives such as warm, burnished, deep and clean abound among those who've used the studio.
(Click here to see a partial list of artists) But, as you are well aware, studios are
subjective. We think the best way to find out how terrific the room sounds is to come up and hear it for yourself.
Just give us a call and come on up, we're less than 30 minutes North of Toronto...if ya drive real fast. 905-939-7036 ext 21 or from afar 1-800-621-9177 ext 21.

3. Real country hospitality with a unique and refreshing atmosphere.
Then, There's The People:
 Frazier
Mohawk, Executive Producer,
born Barry Friedman in Los Angeles, California in 1941, attended Happy Valley boarding school run by Krishna Murti and Aldous Huxley. In retrospect, he feels this period had much to do with the direction the rest of his life took. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree, so to speak.

Walter Sobczak,
Producer/Chief Engineer, began his career in music in the early 1980's as bassist for the popular pre-alternative band The Sturm Group. To give you an idea of the style of music, the band opened for artists such as The Cult, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Flipper, Killing Joke, Screaming Blue Messiahs, and The Cramps.
