Ex Assistant William Spong (touching desk) now freelance and in the last year of his sound recording degree at university and my current assistant Tom Stubbs (holding SPL meter) calibrating a hired in genelec 1031A + Sub system at The Library (my studio)
William is mixing a demo he recorded of Toms band in 5.1 over the next 2 days for his final degree work entry.
Pro tools Mix + has a built in 5.1 panning option on its mixer and the ProControl monitor outs can be configured to operate as a 'one knob' volume control for 5.1... (you lose use of the alt monitors in this set up)
Now decking the studio out in Star Trek gear would be great a Pair of spock ears will probably do more harm. I would like the comic book guy from the simpsons
I could always leave the Control24 on vegas mode permantly....
