   About Lacquer Channel

The Lacquer Channel recently renovated their facility in Toronto with two new prestigious mastering rooms. The studios are equipped with the finest in vintage analog technology and state of the art digital processing gear. This unique amalgamation of the best of old and new technologies provides the engineers with the tools needed to make subjective decisions objectively.

The Lacquer Channel is one of the only studios in Canada that continues to cut vinyl records. The name Lacquer Channel refers to the disc recorder, or lathe which is used to produce lacquer masters and dub plates. Lacquer Channel keeps its legacy alive by continuing to keep making this important analog format available in Canada.

Chief Mastering Engineer George Graves is at the heart of the Lacquer Channel facility. George began his career as mastering engineer in 1963, cutting vinyl records at the Century Records pressing plant. He went on to work at the Mastering Lab, one of the first independent mastering facilities in the world. In 1974, George Graves was brought to Canada by the legendary producer Jack Richardson. George has mastered thousands of albums, by artists such as Rush, U2, Alice Cooper, Peter Gabriel, The Tragically Hip, The Guess Who, Kayne West and Sloan.

The Lacquer Channel is respected in Canada for their attention to sonic detail, and a willingness to push the boundaries of music by exploring new techniques and technologies. Engineers Phil Demetro and Noah Mintz represent the new breed of mastering engineers who are fiercely devoted to the art and science of their craft. In the past ten years, these two mastering engineers have gained their reputation by dedicating themselves to mastering each recording expertly and creatively. It is their collective goal that each recording they master reach its full potential as a manifestation of the artists vision. Recent clients include Broken Social Scene, Canadian Idol, Sloan, Our Lady Peace, K-OS, Saukrates, Great Big Sea, Shawn Desman and Death From Above 1979.

Hails, George!
While many a spin around the sun has passed since you wove your aural-magic for us as Dogs With Jobs waaaay back when, I still rave about and highly recommend your faboulous ears!!! (...and people that have followed thru and went to you for their mastering have returned, proclaiming every great word I said about you was true, if not understated!!!) It's great to know you're still doing the voodoo that only you can do!!! Dare I say, you are a Canadian Musical Treasure, and I am proud to have had my audio massaged by such a talented, generous, and gracious man! Thanks for being you, George... you're da GOODS!
I'm getting back on the horse again with Piledriver, and you KNOW I'll be giving you a shout when it's time to polish my poo, ha ha ha!!!
All the best!
