Many
studios say they do digital recording, but 95% of the signal
path is analog. The main problem in digital recording is
changing the signal from analog to digital and back to
analog too many times. All of these conversions make the
sound dull and lifeless. Studios that use equipment with low
cost internal converters frequently have this problem. At
Paradoxx Sound when we say digital, we mean it! The analog
signal from our microphones and direct boxes goes through
high quality microphone preamps or channel boxes with EQ and
compression. From there we go directly to our Prism
analog-to-digital converters. After conversion, we record
your sound, the “digital bit stream”, to one of the
following formats:
-Pyramix hard disk recording system 28 tracks, 24 bit/96K
-SADiE 24-96 hard disk recorders, 24 tracks, 24 bit/48K
-Genex 8000 MO recorders, 24 tracks, 24 bit/48K
-ADAT XT 24 tracks, 16 bit
After
recording, all mixing is done using our Soundtracs D4
digital mixer that has 80 channels @ 24 bit/96K all with 6
band EQ, compression and gating. The D4 mixer also has total
recall and full automation. Digital EFX processing is
provided by the following equipment:
-Lexicon
960L 8 channels
-TC M6000 8 channels
-TC M5000 4 channels
-Analog processes can also be used with Prism D to A and A
to D converters.
The
final mix is sample-rate converted and saved as a 24
bit/44.1K, two-track recording ready for mastering
to CD.
