Zoo Audio has its own 36 track digital recording studio in Cambridge. It's been used for everything from voice-overs, through demos to some successful commercially released albums. Location recording is a speciality. Digital recording in the studio is direct to hard disk, giving maximum ease of editing. Tracks can be cut and pasted, processed and re-tuned, and all mixing operations can be saved so that projects can be recreated instantly, months or even years after the original recording was made. The desk is a 32-channel Studiomaster P7, giving 72 inputs on mixdown. Outboard equipment includes Lexicon, TC Electronics, Alesis and TLA processors, with Mackie HR624 and Yamaha NS10M monitors. Gibson, Fender and Takamine guitars and basses can be used, as well as Fender and Marshall amps, and a Pearl drum kit. Top end equipment includes a Neumann U87 microphone, a Lexicon PCM90 digital reverb and a TC Electronics Finalizer. A master from any format can be used as the source, and can be recorded to CD, MiniDisc or DAT. The studio is situated on the edge of Cambridge, within walking distance of shops, a bakery, various take-aways, four pubs and a park. For more details of available equipment go to the gear page. |
