SAD Entertainment Highest rated recording studio in the history of Calgary.

11/03/2025

We opened our first location with (not a dollar) & a dream, and when we got the word the space was being eyed for other reasons, we had to tear down what we could not afford in the first place.

So, we built another studio. At the time of us opening, we called around to other locations that were strictly one genre, inflexible hours, unable to meet modern creative demands, etc., and it felt like us staying down was a disservice to the city that raised us.

This video showcases some moments from our first commercial buildout, the demolishing of the location for supplies retrieval, the demolishing of what stood in our current location pre move - to the final buildout we’re in today.

It feels important, to us, in the arts, to make at times sacrificial decisions in hopes to at a MINIMUM demonstrate that willpower in the creative industry has the ability to overpower societal boundaries as well as to inspire others to KEEP BUILDING.

We put our heads together on this at seventeen years of age. It has been so, so, so many sleepless nights & ramen dinners to get to where we are today. Working on hundreds if not thousands of projects since has been absolutely life changing for us, and has made it all the more worth it.

Never stop creating Calgary. We as a community alone are all we’ve got. We must continue to legitimize our post production industry, fight to make art something we can live off of, and continue to look to eachother for inspiration, advice & support. This city has changed so much since we’ve been open alone. All for the better. We were nervous to even throw hip hop drums on our ads! (had to anyway 🙂‍↕️)

Thank you to all who have been there for us, believed in Calgary as while, and who continue to support our industry.

We opened our doors commercially near a half decade ago. We are so grateful our city supported our dream to this point. We were all kids at conception of this company, so we’ve pretty well grown up in the industry here! We are excited to continue working with Calgary, and have many exciting updates 2026 and beyond!

PS: our day rate remains well under hourly - and we are very happy to work with indie filmmakers and musical artists in ensuring prices are fair. DM us. ALL creatives deserve accessibly professional results.

we recently had a client (.ca) gift us the guitar he learned how to play on, as a thank you for the work we’ve done on his record.

custom painted, gifted forward with the pick scrapes of artistically formative days passed, stuffed with handwritten notes - this is one of the most meaningful things ever done for us.

thank you, hayden, for allowing us to work on your art, as your care is evident and contagious, and beyond the grind of creating this with you, the memories over coffee and all nighters will forever live in our hearts.

with love, and hopes of creating many more 🫂

Feel like your track is missing a theremin patched into a tube eq into a 303 out into a 404 mk2 out into an SLL compressor out into a lexicon PCM 80?

It is

Snagged some new gear, rewired the whole space so YOU can use analog and ATMOS with ease!

Now featuring an Apollo x16 Gen 2 linked to our x8p, fully optimized patchbay setup, new API pre & TubeTech pultec, and soon to be studio cheat sheet, booking with us allows you to achieve the flavour of your favourite records without the stress of wiring the patchbay yourself (😭😭)

Atmos is fully calibrated and runs natively off our new interface as well!

We love YYC artists - and make every step with them in mind.
