Greater Vancouver
Greater Vancouver, also known as Metro Vancouver, is the metropolitan area with its major urban centre being the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The term "Greater Vancouver" is roughly coterminous with the geographic area governed by the Metro Vancouver Regional District, though it predates the 1966 creation of the regional district. It is often used to include areas beyond the boundaries of the regional district but does not generally include wilderness and agricultural areas within that regional district. Usage of the term "Greater Vancouver" is not consistent. In local use it tends to refer to urban and suburban areas only, and does not include parts of the regional district such as Bowen Island, although industries such as the film industry even include Squamish, Whistler and Hope as being in "the Vancouver area" or "in Greater Vancouver". The business community often includes adjoining towns and cities such as Mission, Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Squamish wit ...

Click Track
A click track is a series of audio cues used to synchronize sound recordings, sometimes for synchronization to a moving image. The click track originated in early sound movies, where optical marks were made on the film to indicate precise timings for musical accompaniment. It can also serve a purpose similar to a metronome, as in the music industry, where it is often used during recording sessions and live performances.Gavin Harrison (August 2003).Creating Click Tracks For Drummers. Sound on Sound. Retrieved 8 June 2011. History The first known usage of "precise timing-aid" in movies may have been by Walt Disney’s team when recording music and sound effects for their early cartoons. Since the cartoons didn't have any speech yet, the gags and jokes that were seen on the screen relied heavily on the precision of the sound impact, e.g., hitting someone with a frying pan on the head is the funniest when the attached "boing" is precisely timed, as if it was "real". When the tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

When the building next door became available, it was incorporated into the operation, and Studio 1 became a standalone studio. Two edit suites were added for post-production work. A penthouse studio and warehouse studio were added in the 1990s. When the studio moved to downtown Vancouver in the early 2000s, a large tracking room, overdub studio and mix room were added.
