The studio at BAM is something out of the ordinary. When most studios, at least in Sweden, move towards small production booths, BAM include a 100sq m live room with complete audio-video link to the studio control room. This can be used in a number of interesting ways.
| • |
|
as a fantastic drum room with a great natural
ambience, perfect for ambience microphone setups |
| • |
|
as a session recording room when you want to
nail those rhythm tracks as a group with a genuine live feel |
| • |
|
as a big session room for recording strings,
choir or other that require lots of space |
| • |
|
as a iso booth when doing sessions in the studio
upstairs |
| • |
|
as a pre-production and rehearsal room with
recording possibilities |
| • |
|
as a film/video or photo session studio. There's
even room for a club size audience! |
| • |
|
as a live recording studio for "live at
the BBC"-style audio/video recording for broadcast or
DVD-release |
Second floor
The studio on the second floor is built around a large, airy control
room with daylight and non-fatiguing acoustic characteristics.
There are two 8 sqm iso-booths and a machine room which can double
as a third iso-booth for a guitar amp or such.
Top quality recording
The recording is made exclusively through on-board SSL Super Analogue
pre-amps and a number of outboard pre-amps. Technically the studio
offers the best of both worlds with a 72 input 24-bit hard disk
recording system with hi-end converters and a 2' analog 24-track
tape machine. Monitor speakers include 4 separate stereo systems
and a full range 5.1 set-up with bass managment.
Mixing
BAM is a great place to mix with the ultimate combination of hi-end
analogue equipment paired with the best of todays digital processing
and control. The SSL AWS900+SE console doubles as a 24 channel hi-end
analogue console and as a control surface for either Nuendo 5 or
Pro Tools 9. The console is fitted with total recall, classic SSL
automation and the latest version 4 software including the A-FADA
utility which lets the DAW control also the analogue faders and
cuts of the AWS900. The SSL Logictivity browser ensures total control
over mix passes, total recall and project specific information from
the DAW. A number of classic outboard hardware signal processors
in combination with the Universal Audio UAD-line, Melodyne, Drumagog
and other plug-ins, makes just about any mixing task possible.
The TV screen can be used for mixing to picture, to watch the session
downstairs, as a second computer monitor, and for showing reference
DVD's with audio through the 5.1 system. |
