	Axis Sound :: The Studio OVERVIEW (See below for equipment list. Click on thumbnails at right for closeups. NOTE: Not all the gear listed below is reflected in the pictures on the right!) STUDIO OVERVIEW The heart of the studio is Pro Tools Mix3 (cubed) v5.1.1 running on a G4 / 933 with literally dozens of plugins. The Mix3 system means you can have 64-tracks of audio in any session, and run many more plugins than lower end Pro Tools systems. In any digital system, perhaps the most critical component are the A/D converters you use. Our two brand new Apogee Rosetta 800's are top of the line, providing 16 channels of superior Apogee I/O and clocking. Everything is monitored through a 32-channel Soundcraft Ghost console, which has warm, juicy sound, and is vastly superior to comparable Mackie consoles. Finally, at mix time, our extensive collection of outboard processing and effects, combined with Pro Tools built-in mix capabilities, make it entirely possible to produce "radio ready", professional tracks here at Axis Sound.
