Three recording control rooms surround our expansive live room and isolation booths. Control Room A features a large-format 4040E/G+ console by Solid State Logic. Tracking is done to either Studer 827 24-track two-inch tape machine, IZ Technology Radar, a Pro Tools® HD system, or an Otari MTR100 24-track two-inch tape machine. Numerous industry standard outboard effects and microphone pre-amplifiers are featured in Control Room A. At the heart of MMI’s Studio B are a 40-input Trident 80C console and a 24-track IZ Radar hard-disk recorder. The Trident console and Radar recorder offer a unique combination of exceptional sound quality and simplicity of operation, which make them perfect for students as they start to learn the art of multi-track recording. Studio B is also fully equipped with the signal-processing equipment that is the stock-in-trade of the recording professional, featuring six DBX 160x compressors, two Urei 1176 compressors, two Empirical Labs Distressors, and a Teletronix LA-2A vacuum tube limiter. Engineers who desire a different sonic flavor can turn to our Focusrite Red 6 or Rupert Neve Portico 5012 Microphone preamps. Rounding out the list are multi-effect processor units from Eventide, Lexicon and TC electronic for those echoes, reverbs and special effects. The studios at MMI feature an array of top-notch monitors for Genelec® , Adam Audio®, Tannoy®, Yamaha®, Hafler®, Mackie®, and Event®, and Ikon®.
