| Toronto Fandango Recording
equipment is a combination of the analog and the
digital worlds. Fandango uses only high-end quality equipment, to
ensure a pristine and warm sound. The heart of the studio is an Intel advanced
workstation with Lynx AES 16 sixteen channels AES/EBU Digital I/O with Lynx Syncrolock
Jitter Attenuation Technology connected to Aurora 16 -
Simultaneous 16 Channel
Analog I/O and 16 Channel AES/EBU I/O
24bit/192 kHz AD/DA Mastering A/D and D/A
convertors, with three
UAD1 PCI cards and two TC Electronics Powercore
MKII DSP cards. Recording is performed at 24bit
resolution and
the whole sound processing- mixing, mixdown, mastering or sound restoration- is
done in 24/32 bit resolution. For demo / beat creation we sometime use also the latest MacBook Pro with an Apogee duet card. |
