LVL UP Studios vs. That Toronto Podcast Studio: Why the Right Studio Matters for Your Podcast

If you’re evaluating podcast studios in Toronto, you’ll likely encounter LVL UP Studios — a creative, loft-style production facility promising a high-end shoot environment. On its surface it looks like a strong choice. But when your goal is to record, edit, publish and scale your podcast efficiently, you’ll want a studio built specifically for that workflow. That’s where That Toronto Podcast Studio pulls ahead.

Focus & Service Model

LVL UP Studios bills itself as a multi-purpose production space: “podcasting & live streaming services” among its offerings. They highlight a 2,000 sq ft loft space, high-end lighting, 3× Sony FX3 cameras and professional sound gear. 

However, they position themselves as a broad creative production house (photo, video, events, podcasting) rather than a studio optimized exclusively for podcast creation.

In contrast, That Toronto Podcast Studio is purpose-built for podcasters: the branding, workflow, gear and deliverables all centre on podcast production (audio + video + editing + guest flow). If creating a podcast is your focus, that specialization matters.

Workflow & Ease of Use

When you book LVL UP Studios you’re renting a very capable space — but the process appears more like booking a commercial shoot: you get the space, gear, maybe crew, and you’re responsible for capturing content and coordinating post. Their services do include podcasts, but their primary offering is space + gear + event-style production. 

By contrast, at That Toronto Podcast Studio you show up, start recording, and the studio’s team handles tech, editing, post and delivery. For creators doing recurring episodes, working with guests, and needing consistent turnaround, that “podcast-first” workflow is significantly more efficient.

Pricing & Fit for Regular Series

LVL UP Studios, given its multi-use design and event capability, works well if you’re doing big shoots, video-heavy content, or want to treat each episode like a major production. But that often means higher cost, more planning and less predictable scheduling for a weekly or bi-weekly podcast.

That Toronto Podcast Studio is built around the rhythm of podcast production — creators who publish regularly, bring guests, want quick social clip output, and prefer the studio handles the heavy lifting. The simpler model means fewer surprises, less overhead, and more ‘just do your show’ comfort.

Video/Audio Capabilities vs. Delivery Focus

LVL UP Studios has impressive specs: multi-camera setups, professional lighting, large space and full service for video, audio and live streaming.  But what it doesn’t emphasize as clearly is the delivery pipeline for podcast episodes — guest management, multi-camera editing, podcast-specific workflows and fast turnaround.

That Toronto Podcast Studio emphasizes not only audio + video capture, but full post-production — so your episode is ready to publish, with social clips, editing, and minimal extra work from you. If you’re producing a show commercially or on brand, the delivery piece is where you really benefit.

The Bottom Line

LVL UP Studios is undeniably a strong production space — great if you want a big loft, flexibility for many types of creative shoots, and you have the budget, time and production resources. But if you’re focused on building or scaling a podcast, and want a studio that makes the process easy, consistent and reliable — That Toronto Podcast Studio is the better, smarter fit.

If you want to record your next episode like a pro — no tech hassle, no complicated bookings, no long waits — then That Toronto Podcast Studio is where you should be.
