Studio Mouse is a vibey, artist-focused recording studio located in Toronto’s vibrant Greektown. Established in 2025, the studio supports a wide range of audio services, including live-off-the-floor sessions for small ensembles, overdubs, film scoring, ADR/VO, and post-production work such as mixing, music editing, producing, and mastering. Operated by Music Editor and Freelance Drummer Simon Miminis, Studio Mouse reflects his vision for an equitable, accessible space where musicians, composers, and songwriters can bring their artistic ideas to life.
More than just a recording space, Studio Mouse connects artists with top professionals across Toronto’s world-class music industry. Through Simon’s extensive 25-year network of vetted freelance musicians, orchestrators, arrangers, composers, producers, music directors, and engineers, the studio can assemble the perfect team for any creative project. Over time, this has seen Studio Mouse grow into a collaborative hub where emerging talent and seasoned professionals work side by side, forming new relationships and expanding artistic possibilities. This community-driven environment ensures that every artist who walks through the door has access not only to exceptional resources, but also to a supportive, interconnected creative ecosystem.
The studio’s workflow is designed for both efficiency and flexibility. With seamless Pro Tools integration, high-end preamps and converters, a curated selection of boutique drums and instruments, and an array of world-class microphones, Studio Mouse adapts to the unique needs of any recording or post-production process. The beautiful live room and treated control room provide an inspiring sonic environment ideal for everything from delicate acoustic textures to polished, modern production.
Simon’s 25-year career in film, television, live performance, and studio work informs every aspect of the Studio Mouse experience. His deep understanding of both the creative and technical sides of storytelling allows him to anticipate needs, solve challenges quickly, and support artists in achieving their best work. As an accomplished Music Editor and Freelance Drummer, Simon brings a unique hybrid skill set that makes Studio Mouse especially well-suited for film composers needing small ensemble recordings to picture, as well as composers and songwriters seeking custom professional drum tracks.
