The Intonator
Dedicated to the professional vocal recording engineer, the Intonator is aimed at reducing
tedious engineering time spent on doing vocal re-takes. Not only does it provide you with
the ultimate solution to vocal pitch correction, but it offers various valuable processing
tools as well, including a De-esser, and a special Adaptive Locut filter designed specially for
vocal processing. Based on TC's world-renowned
DARCATM-chip technology,
the Intonator preserves the vocalist's personal touch by allowing
vibrato, initial intonation and limited correction individually, all at 96 kHz internal
processing and true 24 bit resolution. A unique "Do-not-process-anything-but-this-note" setting
can be achieved via an internal custom scale feature. A Pitch Window allows you to specify when
a note will be considered out of tune, whereas the Amount control limits the level of Pitch
correction added to the audio. Analog Dual I/O's (ADIOSTM)
enable simultaneous recording of
processed and un-processed vocal signals as an additional feature.
Mackie 24/96 hard disk recorder/editor
It is a combined 192 track HD recorder and non linear editing system. Clients
enjoy slipping tracks, copy/paste, and computer control of their digital audio during their
tracking sessions! View your wave files instantly on the screen as you record.
Unlimited nonstop 24 track recording is on inexpensive removable hard drives.
The cost of multi track recording media has never been lower,and plug and play
convenience means access has never been faster.
Studio B: We now feature two classic RCA BA6 variable Mu tube compressors modified for stereo. These rare compressors are classic true variable tube voltage compression, with design similar to the classic Fairchild. It will warm up the coldest of musical hearts, and add a little bit of magic to any project.
