The studio is located in Vancouver, Canada, 15 minutes from downtown in the artistic Cedar Cottage / Commercial Drive neighbourhood. The studio is across the street from a cafe, and just blocks away from many great restaurants and a cold beer and wine store.

DIRECTIONS

Front: When coming from the front on Commercial Street, look for the black door with the butterfly logo and a white 3702 on it located between Britannia Food Equipment and a grey house. The front entrance is set back from the street by approximately 40 feet.

Back: When coming from the alley, (best choice if you have much gear to load in), look for the blueish-grey concrete block building, also with a black door with the butterfly logo and a white 3702 on it. There are parking stalls at the back that you are welcome to use.

Transit: Monarch Studios is easily accessible by transit. We are a short walk from either the Commercial or Nanaimo skytrain stations. We are also close to the #99, #9, #20, #22, and #25 busses.

Monarch Studios occasionally takes on interns. If the following describes you, feel free to write us at intern@monarchstudios.com. Please do not call or drop by the studio as a session is likely in progress. Thank you.

The audio industry is a demanding one, and we are looking for the following in our interns. You have to want to be the first one at the studio in the morning and last one to leave at night. You will need access to a vehicle. You go out of your way to make sure clients are comfortable, the studio is clean, and that sessions go as smoothly as possible. You have a good attitude, good people skills, and can be upbeat even when you are tired. Our goal is to raise up interns to become paid engineers and future clients of the studio. For that reason, to be considered you must be interested in interning for at least 3, preferably 6 months. Because of the large number of audio school graduates applying, we do not accept applications from people without at least one year completed at an accredited audio school, or the equivalent experience in a commercial studio.

The studio is brilliantly maintained by technical guru Corey Dixon at Big Valley Audio.

And finally, a huge thank you to the incredible team of people who between February and October, 2012, helped to build Monarch Studios. It really wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing effort of everyone involved. Thank you all!
