![]() I have the Intonato 24, Red4Pre and BluDA in a rack cabinet under the desk along with network switch, power supplies and HDMI switching for the projector and booth. ![]() I can now hit a button and stand up and carry on mixing. As this was only a base unit, I upcycled my old desk worktop using the same fabric I used on the ceiling. I built my favourite part of the studio – my Sit Stand Desk! This is a game-changer for middle-aged dubbing mixers who have sat down for the past 20 years. but they were keen to demonstrate the room’s potential) and I started to get the vibe again…Īt this stage, I had a choice of doing nothing or do a temporary set up and start testing and that’s what I did. In the meantime, I had been looking into using Dante and learned a lot more about using the renderer whilst mixing a film at VoiceOver Soho who had recently opened their Atmos Theatre (I was mixing 5.1. So I downed tools for more than a year and when I came back to it there were a few more options on the market (and more importantly I’d earned a bit more cash). I couldn’t use the monitor section in my C24 as it only went up to 5.1 and I even looked at ganging two 5.1 SPL wedges together!?! I contacted Focusrite to see if it was possible to implement in their software and use the main o/p knob on 18i20 to control all outputs which apparently is theoretically possible but was told that they had no intention of doing so…. Although the Dolby Atmos software technology was cheap to implement (250GBP) the only monitor controllers available were the likes of DADMon (5000GBP) which was way too much for me to end up with a glorified volume control and mute button. The biggest problem was the lack of available monitor controllers. It was at this point when I started to discover a number of limitations regarding available technology. This was a fairly early version and there was a big learning curve as the workflow was still being refined. Early Experiments In Dolby AtmosĪfter attending several lectures and demo’s by Dolby and HHB/Scrub regarding the new Dolby Atmos Home Theatre Certification I decided I was going to start experimenting with the format and technology, purchased Dolby Atmos Production Suite and set up a 7.1.4 rig using a Focusrite 18i20 and 4i2 together in my temporary studio. As I had a fairly constant flow of work I had to get up and running quickly so built a temp setup for 5.1 using the C24. Based around an Avid C24, this didn’t leave a lot of space so when we came to move out of London and settle in Norfolk, I decided it was time to take on a commercial property and found myself at Epic Studios (formerly ITV Anglia Studios in Norwich) amongst a lot of broadcast equipment and like-minded people. After leaving full-time employment at Silverglade in London and going freelance, to get me going as a freelancer, I set up a studio in our spare room in West London.
