Le Studio (later renamed Studio Morin Heights) was a residential recording studio in the Laurentian Mountains near the town of Morin-Heights, Quebec, Canada built in 1972 by recording engineer and producer André Perry, Nick Blagona and Yaël Brandeis. The studio with a Trident console where artists recorded and stayed, was the venue for many notable Canadian and international artists, including Rush (it was nicknamed "Rush's Abbey Road"),[1] The Police, Bee Gees, Chicago, David Bowie, April Wine and Cat Stevens and Vain. Perry described the facility as "like the United Nations. I had people from London, New York, Quebec, all over the world."[2]

Renowned for its retreat-like location as well as its state-of-the-art equipment,[3] it was one of the earliest studios to install a Solid State Logic SL 4000 B mixing console and RADAR digital-recording equipment.[4] Perry sold the studio in 1988. In 2008 the studio had gone out of business, and as of 2015 the property was up for sale.[5] On 11 August 2017, the building was partially destroyed by "a suspicious" fire.[2] The entirety of the complex was demolished in 2020.[6] In 2020, the recording area was demolished, and in 2021, the entire property was cleared and put up for sale for $850,000.[7]
