PRECISE MONITORING

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

We use a Mac coupled to its own audio hard drive which guarantees plenty of memory and speed. Logic Pro X is our chosen DAW with many WAVES plugins as well as Melodyne and various instruments as well. A Presonus Quantum 4848 provides plenty of quality AD/DA conversion channels.

The TLA VTC console is a large format design with valve stages on all inputs and groups. This gives a very warm and open sound. 24 inputs and 48 faders available when mixing. The EQ is very musical sounding and the console offers all the facilities you would expect from a large format design.

KRK V8 monitors along with a KRK sub provide accurate monitoring. A number of headphones are available that include the industry standard Beyer Dynamic DT770 for recording.
