Mixing Consoles: Yamaha AW4416 [2], Behringer Eurorack MX2004A keyboard submixer. The Yamaha AW4416 combines the mixing power of the multiple Grammy (TM) award winning 02R console along with a 16 track 24 bit hard disk recorder - without the data compression that reduces the sound quality potential of other hardware Digital Audio Workstations. The AW4416 features moving fader automation, and every setting on the board is totally recallable and fully automated. Each AW4416 has 44 mixer channels, and each mixer channel has a four band, fully parametric EQ, and a compressor / limiter / gate. In addition, each AW4416 also has two built in effects processors. According to Yamaha, we were the first studio to sync and digitally cascade two of these units for a powerhouse 88 channel, 32 track recording and mixing system, and Sound Sanctuary's staff is literally recognized around the world as being among the foremost experts on these amazing digital audio workstations. | ||||

Recorders: Alesis ADAT LX20 [2] with BRC remote, Sony PCM-R300 DAT, Tascam 202 mk III cassette, Otari MX5050 B II reel to reel The 20 bit ADAT machines offer significant improvements over the sonics and operational speed of the earlier 16 bit models, and give us compatability with the thousands of professional and personal studios that use ADAT format recorders. Most of our clients prefer to have their rough mixes and final masters on CD-R disks that can be played on standard CD players, but we also have high quality cassette and DAT recorders for those clients who need to transfer earlier projects or who prefer these formats. The Otari - well, the Otari's special. Not only does it allow us to record half track analog mixdowns, or play back quarter track reel to reel tapes, but it also allows us to add true analog tape "tone" to any - or all, of the digital multitrack parts. Sure, there's computer "plug ins" that simulate the effect of analog tape (and we've got those too), but nothing quite matches the real thing. For those who love the sound of analog, we can give it to you - using a high quality deck that uses the same track width as a 2" 16 track recorder. And don't forget, our two Yamaha AW4416's give us 32 track recording (256 virtual tracks), while our computer DAW software can provide 32 tracks (or more) on top of that... We're not lacking for tracks or recording formats around here! | ||||

Effects: Waves Y56K card, Ensoniq DP/4+, DP/4, Lexicon LXP-15, Yamaha SPX900 Sound Sanctuary was one of the pre-release / development Beta testers for the Waves Y56K card and the Yamaha AW4416 2.0 software. This powerful effects card offers up to eight effects chains which can be accessed and controlled from within the AW4416. Such popular Waves effects as Trueverb, Ren Comp, Ren EQ, Supertap, De-esser and the ever popular L1 Ultramaximizer are all included. Combine the Waves Y56K card with the two internal effects processors in each of the AW4416's, the four processors in each of the Ensoniq DP/4's, the outboard Yamaha and Lexicon units, as well as all of the "plug in" effects available via the computer, and you can see why we've never run short of effects processing power on a project yet. | ||||

Microphones: Telefunken ELA M251 E [2], AKG C-414EB [Stephen Paul mod], C-414EB P48, C-535 [2], D-1000E [2], D-190 [2], CAD Equitek II [2], Oktava MC-012 [3] with M3 LOMO, Altec 626a, Shure SM57 [5], 315 ribbon, SM58, Beyer M160 ribbon, Audix D2 [4], Audio-Technica ATM25 [2], Electro-Voice RE20, V1-A ribbon, Sennheiser MD421, RCA DX 74B ribbon [2], Rode NTK A great recording starts with a great performer, with a great instrument, in a great acoustical environment... the first, and in many ways, the most important item of equipment after all that is the microphone. Get all of that right, but use the wrong mic and mic technique, and you've just lessened the quality of the whole recording - no matter what equipment comes later in the signal chain. That's why we have such a extensive, expensive and varied microphone collection, including two of the Telefunken ELA M 251 E - probably the most expensive, rarest and most sought after "vintage" microphones in the world today. | ||||

Microphone Preamps: Vintech Neve 1272, Presonus MP20 with Jensen transformers and OPA627 op amp upgrade, 4 channel Cohen designed custom built preamp, Bellari MP110 [2], Joemeek VC3Q [2] The two AW4416 consoles have a total of 16 very nice, accurate, "neutral" sounding microphone preamplifiers, but sometimes you're looking for a different "sound", and matching the right mic with a great outboard preamp is a good place to start. The vintage Neve consoles are world famous for their big, brash and beefy sonics - and their real estate sized price tags (a vintage Neve mixing console can cost more than a home in an upscale neighborhood). Vintech Audio builds preamps to the original Neve specifications out of vintage Neve parts and gives us that classic Neve tone for considerably less money. Our Joemeek preamps are actually outboard "channel strips" that have EQ and vintage style "El Op" compressors in addition to the mic preamps. Like microphones, different preamps are useful in different situations and give different sounds - that's why we have several different units available. | ||||

Our main computer is running a variety of powerful digital audio and MIDI sequencing programs, and is connected to, and can be controlled by the Yamaha AW4416 workstations. | ||||
