News from Le Studio Mobile and
elsewhere, updated regularly.
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.
April 2007: Juno Awards
The 2007 Juno Awards were held this year in Saskatoon
and we were there, of course. Le Studio Mobile
has been recording and mixing the Junos broadcast every year (except
for 2001, to be precise) since 1986. Simon Bowers mixed Billy
Talent, Three Days Grace, The Tragically Hip, Alexis on Fire and
DJ Champion. Doug McClement in his Livewire truck handled Nelly
Furtado, K-OS, Patrick Watson and Gregory Charles.
Many thanks to John Brunton and Insight Productions,
Joan Tosoni, director, Karel Noordover, technical producer, as
