Over the past few months, Number 9 has taken steps to seriously upgrade the quality and competitiveness of our media duplication services – in plain English, it all looks better AND it’s at the same cost or less than before. We added a thermal transfer printer in the fall that has a higher resolution than silk-screen or offset printing for our disc printing, and over the past month we’ve added an incredible new digital printing system for the paper parts of your disc package. You know how laser printers don’t usually have that “glossy” look that regular press printing does? Well, ours does!

No matter what we tell you, though, the proof is in the pudding. “Show me”, you say.

So we will. No charge.

Grab the disc template, as well as the 1-panel insert and even the traycard template if you like, from here. Number 9 will provide 2 complete print sample sets for you to take with you, one to keep, one to show off, so you can compare it to anyone else’s work.

The sample set will include:

-2 discs printed (no duplication)

-jewel case (slim or regular, whatever you like)

-1 panel 4/4 insert and 4/0 traycard

We’re going to do this through the month of June, so whether you are a marketing company looking to send out 10 press kits or a band looking to sell 50 CDs at your next gig – we can produce “retail-ready” discs but you no longer have to get a “minimum of 500″ just so that they look half-decent.

New Producer in the Toronto Recording Studio

As you may or may not know, the Number 9 Audio Group not only has a music brokerage service, but we also showcase some of the best music producers in Canada.

This month, the Toronto recording studio is pleased to introduce you to Yuri Sazanoff… not just a producer, but a composer for film and television with an enormous resume. Yuri has worked with some of the world’s biggest recording labels, television stations and film productions.

We have also made a demo reel of his best work available for your listening pleasure. Visit Yuri Sazanoff’s page to listen. If you feel you should be included in our Producers Group, contact our managing director for an interview.

We have just enrolled four new recording studio students, leaving only one spot left in our recording school for the fall enrollment. Welcome to Thiago Sa Leito (from Brazil), Katerina Dios (from Sweden), Ryan Klotz (from Toronto, Ontario) and Brandon Hefford-Tuck (from Fenelon Falls, Ontario).

This week we’ve had the pleasure of meeting a virtuoso violinist, Stanislav Pronin, who is only 23. This prodigy was brought into the Toronto Recording Studio by a professional composer by the name of Brian Christian who came in all the way from Virginia to feature this young man’s violin in his latest composition.

It’s rare that people travel to other countries to collaborate with other artists, but it’s no surprise that Brian made the trip after hearing Stanislav play his violin.

In the coming weeks you can expect to hear a sample recording of another composer who came in this week by the name of Robert Baker, also from south of border (Boston). We at Number 9 Recording Studio Toronto are grateful for having such a loyal clientele in Toronto and a growing number of clients coming in from abroad.

Our network of industry professionals has been on a rapid rise and dates back as far as 25 years. Therein lies one of the most lucrative asset at Number 9… the network. Whether you are looking for a producer, session musician, engineer, composer, etc. we are confident that your match can be found in our Toronto Recording Studio recording network.

So take that into consideration when you’re booking your next recording project. If clients are coming in from the United States, even Europe to use the Number 9 recording school and studio… we must be doing something right.
