The Studio
Duane "Midilord" Summers always had a belief that "less is more". Following this mantra, the studio was designed with a minimalistic approach.
The Room and Monitors
The Studio has a well thought out combination custom built porous absorbers, Helmholtz absorbers, as well as Limp Mass Membrane Bass Traps, specifically built to address the rooms acoustic abnormalities.
Amphion Two15's, and Amphion Flexbass25 powered by Amphion Amp700 and Flexamp1200 were chosen for monitoring. Amphion speakers are well known for their tonal balance, clarity, and accurate phase response.
The Equipment
Monitoring is done through a Dolby ATMOS 7.1.4 system with Amphion TWO15 speakers for LCR and IK Multimedia MTM's for the surrounds. Stereo monitoring is controlled by the Imperium by 2400 Audio. Metering is done using TC Electronic's Clarity M. Avid HD I/O and The Lynx Hilo Converters were chosen for their transparency and routing flexibility. The Manley Massive Passive and Variable-Mu are used when there is equalization, and dynamic processing with tube saturation and color needed. The Studio's library of plugins include Fab Filter, Soft Tube, Sonnox, UAD, and Waves.
