July 2007: Montreal International Jazz Festival

The Montreal International Jazz Festival is over, it was a enormous success in every respect. Le Studio Mobile was in charge of all audio recordings for television: Wynton Marsalis, Kurt Elling, Sophie Milman, Molly Johnson (all at Place des Arts), Randy Bachman (at Le Spectrum) and Rachid Taha (the big closing party, in front of one hundred thousand spectators on Ste-Catherine Street). The producer was Amerimage-Spectra.

Technically, all shows were recorded for future 5.1 mixdown in 24-bit 48 tracks. For the first time, no tape was used for the redundant 48-track recording. More about that soon.

 

 

June 2007: New Reverb

Le Studio Mobile is proud to announce that it has a new piece of equipment: a TC Electronic 6000 Reverb.

From TC Electronic:

Containing the entire Reverb and Delay palette of TC Electronic, Reverb 6000 is a four engine monster for professional film and music production. It delivers the finest, wildest and most research-intensive spatial effects of the audio industry today. Reverb 6000 contains the entire family of award winning VSS reverbs for mono, stereo, LtRt, 5.1 and 6.1 formats, the best algorithms and presets from M3000 and M5000 plus unique Reverb 6000 preset banks such as Halls of Fame and the Skywalker Sound Collection. Presets can be further adjusted with numerous parameters to make them just the right fit for any sound image you may be working on.
