Fang Recording is a professional recording facility located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Formerly known as The New Scotland Yard, the studio was opened in 2013 by local musician and producer, Joel Plaskett, and managed until 2026 by engineer turned fireman, Thomas Stajcer. The studio is currently run by head engineer, Alex Burris, and manager, Talon Beek.
The studio was designed to create a comfortable and open environment where musicians, engineer, and producer can work together in the same room. The 950 square foot main room has a 13 foot ceiling, hardwood flooring and 2″ cork covering the walls, creating a very balanced and controlled room for both tracking and mixing. The 550 square foot lobby is wired to record in as well, offering isolation for vocalists, amps wor drums when needed.
Equipped to record digitally with Pro Tools and 32 channels of Universal Audio Apollo converters, we can also record and mix entirely analog using our stellar Rupert Neve 5088 console, Studer tape machines, classic microphones, pre amps, compressors and analog effects. Furthermore, we have the ability to merge the digital and analog worlds seamlessly using the Endless Analog CLASP system, allowing the artists to hit tape while simultaneously tracking into Protools, providing analog warmth and digital convenience. We have a large selection of vintage drums, amps, guitars and keyboards.
Since it’s inception, the studio has recorded and mixed projects for hundreds of artists and musicians - from AquaKultre, Jimmy Rankin, The Skydiggers, Jah’Mila, Alan Syliboy and the Thundermakers to Jeremy Dutcher Mo Kenney, Erin Costelo, Boy Golden, Alasdair Roberts and Joel Plaskett - the list goes on. Footage of studio can be seen in the videos featured here at The Window Inn.
Fang is located at 45 Portland Street in downtown Dartmouth, in the same building as Morley’s Coffee, Taz Records and Friction Books. Just a few minutes from the waterfront and ferry to Halifax, the neighbourhood features some great restaurants, shops and bars.
