Scrub postproduction specialist Scrub has configured and installed a 24-fader Avid S6 M10 control surface and Pro Tools upgrades for Angell Sound’s Dolby-certified and 5.1-equipped Studio 2 on Wardour Street in Soho, London.

Angell Sound Designer Dave Robinson reports a huge enhancement in workflow speed and power: ‘Efficiency is ever more important in my day-to-day managing of sessions,’ he says. ‘Whether it be a simple radio campaign or a full-blown cinema mix, the more easily I can move around the console the more I can focus on the mix. So when deciding on a new control surface, I wanted something that was going to be a complete extension of the Pro Tools system and that’s exactly what I have found in the Avid S6.’

He finds the S6’s use of colour coding and its ability to spill plug-in parameters and VCA fader groups across the console surface to be powerful features: ‘The colour coding of tracks and plug-ins across the surface means that you know exactly where you are within a mix at a glance and gives you total control over all of the parameters in an instant. Also, being able to adjust the same function from several different places is a nice feature too, whether it is on the control modules or touchscreen.

‘HHB/Scrub have been a great help in getting me up to speed,’ he adds. ‘The installation was both quick and seamless and I was up and running in no time. As well as the support and advice I received during set-up, the after-sales support has been there to help me fine-tune any queries I had following the installation.’

‘Angell Sound has been creating high-quality work for the world’s biggest brands and clients for decades and they are highly respected in the industry,’ says Head of Scrub Sales, Ben Scully. ‘Dave is doing some very unique and interesting things with the S6 that highlights his creativity and the versatility of the S6 platform.’
