The main audio studio at MidiMagic is equipped to do just about anything you could dream. We will be mixing on a 24x8 Studiomaster mixer that has midi muting on all channels. This is great for muting all tracks or effects not used at mixdown, for less noise as well as using this feature to comp tracks, such as using two of the track parts to make one good take, etc., etc. Also your gonna just love that yummy British EQ on this board. You hear it when you move any EQ knob.

That brings us to another way to do the same thing, since the whole studio is based around midi. We use a J.L. Cooper Fadermaster to automate the 8 tracks of Alesis ADAT. These are connected to a Power Mac computer, through a Mark Of The Unicorn Midi Timepiece AV. This connection ties everything in the whole studio together, including video. We are able to control the ADAT with Digital Performer, which adds more tracks in sync with its hard disk recording. Now everything in the studio is automated, audio tracks as well as all of the midi tracks. This can save you time and money! We mixdown to DAT and can burn and master a CD on the Mac, with your choice of near-field monitors to choose from, which include both the Tannoy PBM 8"s and 6"s for reference. For live jamming, large studio 15's with horns are also available, backed up by more power than you will ever need. With a rack full of goodies for processing, you can go digital with the multi-processing Alesis Q2 digitally to the ADAT. Then enhance your vocals with full four part harmonies coming out of the Digitech Studio Harmonizer, which also has pitch correction for vocal tracks that need it. Then there's that great Lexicon reverb from the MXP-1, which is unparalleled. You can add more multi effects from the Boss SE-70, if needed. The Aphex Expressor is so great for compression that we have two of them. We also use a BBE exciter and a Rocktron exciter/imager for sonic enhancement with another Hush II and DBX 463X, to get rid of all that unwanted noise that may be caused from instruments or amplification.

For drums we have a full 12 piece pad and cymbal electronic kit that triggers an Alesis D4 and a Roland TR707. For keyboards there's a Korg M1, Ensoniq ESQ1, Ensoniq Mirage and a Proteus 1XR from E-MU. For you bass guitar players, we trigger a Peavey Spectrum Bass module from a Peavey midibass. And for guitar we have the Roland GR-1 guitar synthesizer triggered by a Yamaha guitar w/midi interface. We also have an electric/acoustic guitar standing by in case you need it. We even have a Heil Talkbox and an original Crybaby Wah Wah! Plus we have access to the latest modeling technology for guitar from Roland.

And for all the rest of your audio needs, there's a good choice of microphones including SM 57's, 58's, AKG 1000, EV-PL80, CAD Equitek E-300, and the old "Elvis" Shure PE 55. The CAD mic is really inspiring to all vocalist. You have to hear it to believe it! Add to this the comfortable, down home atmosphere of MidiMagic's unique, intimate recording environment, and you will take home a CD of your dreams!

This should be enough to entice you into the MidiMagic Studios for your audio recording needs. To make you feel right at home and express your innermost artisitic desires.
