STUDIO  •  TWENTY  •  SIX   ARCHITECTS

 
 

The studio setup:

The core of Studio Twenty Six Studio is managed on an iMac (Thank you Steven Jobs~!)  Two additional video monitors are connected via a Matrox video splitter.


The recording software is Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) Digital Performer 7 running through two RME 24-bit/192 khz firewire audio interfaces.  Master clock is a Black Lion Audio micro clock II.


The software is controlled via Euphonix control surfaces housed in an Argosy Console. 


24 channels of outboard analogue summing is handled via Dangerous Music summing boxes.  Outboard hardware includes a Dangerous Music Bax eq, UBK Fatso Compressor and a UBK Clariphonic EQ.

The hardware synths are run through a Rane SM 82S line mixer that has a Jim Williams Audio Upgrade.   MIDI control is via a 360 systems Midi Patcher.


Many other pieces of equipment adorn the main studio (as well as the closet next door~!)   ...outdated keyboards, samplers, analogue mixers, recorders, outboard gear and drum machines too numerous to list but all still functional; they are all remnants (and casualties~!) of a musical journey spanning too many years to mention and probably too dear to my heart to ever get rid of...
