Audient’s Long Island mix

Long Island Recording

Long Island Recording serves the musical community for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and as of January this year, they do so with the help of an Audient ASP8024 Heritage Edition analogue mixing console – one of the first from the British manufacturer to be installed in the US.

Comprising a commercial studio and the only licenced audio engineering school in the Kentucky region (the Lexington School for Recording Arts), the set-up is overseen by owner and president, Wil Freebody. ‘The students and staff love it,’ he says of his new desk. ‘There is something about touching a knob and being directly connected to the sound source as opposed to manipulating the sound on a computer screen.

‘It’s been like switching from flying an aircraft with a mouse and keyboard to flying it from within a real cockpit,’ says Fredo Gevaert, owner of Belgian studio Temple of Tune. He is referring to the move from in-the-box Nuendo working to assigning control to a Yamaha Nuage postproduction system.

The migration began in 2014 with the installation of the studio’s first Nuage and is brought up to date with a second Nuage system that has recently been added.

Full Sail on course with RND

Full Sail’s RND Shelford Edition 5088 console

The latest addition to Full Sail University’s flagship studio is a Rupert Neve Designs 48-channel Shelford Edition 5088 console, loaded with 48 Shelford 5052 micpreamp/EQ modules and 9x Portico 5043 dual compressor/limiter modules. The studio serves a wide variety of purposes ranging from student projects to professional releases with notable artists.

‘We have had Rupert Neve Designs products in our studios from the time they came out on the market,’ says Full Sail University Director of Advanced Recording, Darren Schneider, a multi-award-winning recording engineer and mixer. After years of using the rack line of RND products, it was a natural progression for us to move into the 5088.’

Fly Open Air Festival

Fly Open Air Festival

Having successfully  Edinburgh’s first open-air dance festival for the Fly Club in the city centre’s Princes Street Gardens, alongside sister company Creation Live, Martin Audio partner VME moved to the 6,500-acre Hopetoun House Estate the outskirts of the Scottish capital for the second Fly Open Air Festival.

Unlike the fixed Princes Street bandstand, a festival infrastructure needed to be created in the grounds of the 17th century mansion and sound levels observed – a challenge that Martin Audio’s MLA loudspeaker system was equal to. ‘The scaffolding structure didn’t help us – we couldn’t get the height we wanted, which created a number of physical challenges,’ admits VME Head of Sound, Mark Cleator. ‘This required some late changes to the loudspeaker array.’

Chilis’ Getaway with Avid

Sean ‘Sully’ Sullivan

FOH engineer Sean ‘Sully’ Sullivan chose an Avid Venue S6L, to mix front of house for the Red Hot Chili Peppers The Getaway World Tour – the first time the band have not relied on an analogue console.

Sound provider Rat Sound assisted Sully in the move to the Avid digital live sound system. A second S6L system is used backstage by recording engineer Jason Gossman, who mixes the recordings the next day before uploading them to the band’s website to be sold as MP3s.
