Grand Bay chooses Genelec
Grand Bay Recording Studios is the newest jewel in Florida’s west coast audio-production community. The three-room, 5,700sq-ft facility occupies its own building in the Ybor City Historic District of East Tampa. Momnitoring is taken care of by Genelec 8361AP Smart Active Monitors.
Studio owner and founder Alex Romero and wife Lorena Romero, the studio’s CFO, opened Grand Bay Recording Studios after operating studios in other areas of the city since 2018. In this time, they have built up a thriving business serving the region’s music and commercial recording, mixing and mastering clients, as well as students of the Master the Bounce audio engineering course taught here.
MG-Sound installs Duality
A multi-room music recording, film and postproduction facility in Vienna, MG-Sound Studios has marked its 35th anniversary with the installation of a Solid State Logic Duality SuperAnalogue 48-channel mixing console.
Established in a band’s basement rehearsal room in 1988, the facility has a history of SSL consoles, the new Duality having gone into operation in January 2023 replacing an SSL 9000K in MG-Sound’s Control A, the flagship studio in the seven-room facility, where it had been is use for more than two decades.
The Continuum Project
The French IRCAM Research Centre and partners Amadeus, Holophonix and Vrtuoz are exploring a new concept for the production and dissemination of live performances – ‘a continuum between real and virtual stages, artists and spectators, viewers, and listeners – and between French technological innovation and cultural production’.
An ambitious €1.2m research project that is set to run until Q4 2025, the Continuum research programme aims to develop a comprehensive production chain, from capture to playback, to create and transmit augmented spatial content to spectators in both a range of shared spaces (theatres, cinemas, public or private spaces) and in individual listening situations in virtual reality or binaural rendering with headphones.
Adlib and L-Acoustics ride out with the Gold Rush Kid
Having undertaken a UK arena tour in support of his third album, Gold Rush Kid, at the end of 2022 George Ezra hit the road again in 2023, playing in Europe and closing at The O2 in London. Event technology partner Adlib designed and supplied the PA system, which relied on L-Acoustics’ K Series, including K1 and K2.
Adlib Systems Engineer James Coghlan worked with Ezra’s FOH engineer, Mike Timm, on system design, and throughout the tour. ‘L-Acoustics has always been the go-to touring solution for George Ezra,’ Coghlan says. ‘As Mike has had great experiences with L-Acoustics sound systems, he likes to work with them whenever possible.’
Solotech trials L-Acoustics’ new L Series technology
German singer Helene Fischer kicked off her 71-date Live 2023 tour in April at Barclays Arena Hamburg for a 15-city run through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands using the newly announced L Series line array system from L-Acoustics.
Although Solotech has long provided technological solutions globally, this is among the first times the company’s Live Productions Division in Europe has provided a full 360° solution in Germany.
