The facilities at Iguana Studio are fantastic. In that legendary SSL, some of the greatest artists in the world have already been recorded... The sound of studio A's room is incomparable!!!! I recorded drums there and it was one of the best sounds I took in my life !!! Definitely IGUANA is one of the best studios in the world!!!
Iguana Recording Studio, in my opinion, is easily a world class facility. It has the best in cutting edge technology and the professionally trained sound technicians are stellar! The attention to detail in the recording process facilitates a superb production quality, resulting in a final product which is second to none.
I highly recommend this studio to any musician that wants their musical creativity to sound it's best!
These gentlemen have a great space to get a great sound. I love the attention to detail that comes from there engineers. Overall great studio
Iguana continues to be a place of excellence, creativity and innovation!!! Relaxed atmosphere and killer gear!!!
I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Recording with them was a joy: super friendly guys, and they're at the top of their game. Everything was excellent, from them setting up and prepping things for the recording process, to the mixing and mastering. They listened to what we wanted, and worked with us at every step to make sure we made an album we love. Vic is professional yet convivial, Darius and Nick are amazing engineers, and our record sounds incredible.
Iguana studios is such a cool vibe. The staff is welcoming and the studio gear is probally the best ive seen. Deffinately a place to get in my zone.
Please read till the end for the update a few changes have occured but this was my experience....
If I could give this business minus stars I would. I highly do not recommend this business whatsoever!! I've been swindled
over $700 by the owner of Iguana Studio.
It's supposed to be a platinum studio. The owners name is Vic, he's a dishonest man in my opinion. I went there and recorded on two occasions for 3 hours I paid $254.25 for 3 hours then I paid 84.75 for one hour (btw he took $85 cash and sent me a receipt for $84.75). Next I paid $375.00 for mixing and mastering. All in less than two weeks of meeting him. He will give you the run around, then he would slap some unprofessional work together without any effort just so he can say he did it. This man has kept all my recordings and my mixing and mastering fee and refuses to send me my recordings. Prior to going to his studio we discussed the track being released for the summer. He promised he would return my mixing and mastering fee plus forward me my recordings in the late evening that day. When he didn't do it, I told him I would go public about it because I realized for a week he's been giving me the run-around. Now he's trying to force me to sign a waiver before returning my mixing and mastering fee even though he didn't do the job. He also has not forwarded my recordings. I have a record of all our correspondence from day 1 and receipts for all my payments I can verify this. He took all my money and all I have is prints of my recordings..In text message when I stated to him about the person on Google claiming he stole his $65 he answered "yes $65" to this..I have the text message....I kept asking him for the mix he pretended to send it to me by showing me a fake screen shot of his outbox and kept telling me to check my inbox he sent it. yet hours go by and no email shows up. When I looked carefully there was no attachment(paperclip) in the email screenshot. When I kept asking about my mix he kept providing excuses by telling me the studio isn't open on Sundays...I have the email... however On Google his business hours say 24hrs daily!
UPDATE: since seeing my posts on Facebook Vic has decided to forward my vocal recordings, however in an email to me he has made it clear that he will not be returning my $375 mixing and mastering fee.Even though he hasn't done the work. He says it's because i posted online about it.
Great professional studio. I completed my project on time on budget with excellent support, The sky is the limit here Vic has all the tools and knowledge needed in the music industry. I looking forward to the next sessions.
Thank you

DO NOT BOOK ANY STUDIO TIME HERE. worst experience ever. VIC WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. HE OVER CHARGES AND KEEPS YOUR MATERIAL. EVERYTIME I TRY TO LEAVE A REVIEW HE SOMEHOW DELETES IT SO IM USING A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT, JUST SO I CAN LEAVE A REVIEW....
(Don't worry vic I've already told many people personally and prevented them from using you :) and will continue to do so until you return my money and stop stealing other peoples money)
YOU NOTICE HIS BUSINESS DOES NOT HAVE A OVERALL RATING. HE DELETES REVIEWS. THERE ARE MANY OTHER STUDIOS YOU CAN GO TO, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. THERES ALSO A REASON WHY HE CANT KEEP HIS STAFF.
Great studio. Good rates. Professional staff. Owner took very good care of our all needs. Cant wait to get back in there!
I went to this studio to record a weeding song,they are so helpful and have such talented engineers and the best part was I had my song ready that same night!!!!
One of the most important questions a band has to ask themselves when choosing a place to record is, Will we be comfortable here? Recording can be an insanely personal experience, if a certain comfort level isn t there, the final product will suffer. From the start, Vic not only helped us feel right at home, but he even went the extra mile and called in some heavies (awesome kids) from a local music school to help us shape our vision. Iguana Studios is as technically sound as it is comfortable. With Nick behind the board we were 100% confident that the sound and energy we wanted to capture would come across when we heard the final product, and it did. We look forward to more projects with Iguana!

Best Recording Studio in Toronto! fantastic SSL vintage sound!
I and the boys from The Reed Effect could'nt have been more happy and satisfied during the recording of our latest EP, A Strange Curiosity, at Iguana studios. They have top of the line gear and Nick, the engineer, was a pleasure to work with. We absolutely got the sounds we wanted and had a fun time doing it.
Great place. Really loved the opportunity Vic was able to give me thanks again Vic!
Been working with Iguana for the past 2 years, and they are very professional and have uncommon dedication to making my sound the best it can be.
Great spot! They have lots of passion for what they do!!!
Proffessional, top quality, and extremely profficient! Some of the best engineers in Canada. Definitely will be working with Iguana again!
Amazing studio. Pumped out so many great records - always killin it!!!
Recording at Iguana studio was awesome.Nick and Vic go above and beyond to make it the best recording experience. Working with our Producer/Engineer Nick made recording really fun/experimental and we re very happy with how our songs turned out.
What a wonderful experience it was for all of us. Made us feel like we were home. Excellent service and very experienced staff at hand. Top choice for your recording needs. 2 thumbs up!
Great studio with great equipment suitable for any kind of musical project. The engineer is also a great guy and easy to work with
My experience at Iguana Studios was fantastic from the second I walked in. Super friendly staff and my drums have never sounded so damn good in a room! Vic and the gang...thanks for rocking!
