Description
Event participants pose with the Eastern Sound Studio plaque, which commemorates the studio's history from 1965-1980 at two Victorian houses situated at 48 and 38 Yorkville Avenue.
Innovators in recording technology, the studio was the first in Canada to make the quantum leap from an 8-track recording facility to 24-track when it deployed the new Ampex recorders with a 16 and 24-track capability. And by synchronizing two recording decks, it was the first one in the world to deploy a 46-track recording capability.
Artists such as Gordon Lightfoot and Anne Murray made Eastern Sound their home by recording several albums and award winning songs. Other Canadian icons such as Bruce Cockburn, Murray McLaughlin and groups like Lighthouse also recorded at Eastern as well as Elton John, Isaac Hayes and Dionne Warwick.
