techno babble
It may look modest, but thanks to the marvels of digital technology, there is incredible power and flexibility lurking under the hood of this system! You can simultaneously record up to 18 tracks, direct to hard disk.

The Spirit Digital 328 board is incredible - every single parameter that you can tweak can be fully automated via MIDI. You can record all of your fader and knob movements into Sonar when mixing, and it repeats them during playback.

This opens the door for all kinds of fun, like creating mix moves that wouldn't otherwise be humanly possible. It also means that you can quickly go from one project to next, in only the time it takes to recall a snapshot.

Is everything perfect in that mix from four months ago, except the vocals are a bit too quiet in one spot? No problem! Since the automation data is recorded, you can come back to a project even years later and it will playback exactly the same way. Then you can edit or retake any of the tracks or automation data, until it is exactly what you want.

The board also has 2 Lexicon stereo effects processors and 2 Lexicon dynamics processors built right in - so everything from reverb to compression can be automated too.

The onboard signal routing possibilities are endless, without the need for any patchbays. To top it off, it provides 32 channels of digital "lightpipe" I/O, and 2 channels of S/PDIF, which all goes directly to the Frontier Dakota card, providing a nice solid interface to the computer.



studio history
After years of acquiring and upgrading equipment, we finally completed our recording studio and opened our doors to the public in July 2003.

So far, we have done recording projects for two a.m., Matt Hargett of the Blue James Band, Elephant, 56 Font, and of course the latest releases from UltraViolet Uforia :-)
