As we know… mixing is a key element to the recording process. It can make or break a great performance & recording.
Our music studio’s centre piece is the 48 input Neve Genesys, hand-built in the UK. It combines the best analogue design and true Neve preamp circuitry with hands-on DAW control and MADI connectivity for Pro Tools Ultimate HDX, Logic Pro X, Cubase/Nuendo etc.
We have the 24 fader configuration of mic/line preamps plus 24 channels of DAW mixing and 48-channel analogue summing when mixing, eight auxiliary buses, and eight group buses and Dolby calibrated Atmos monitoring.
