The never-ending sweep of our studio spotlight today lands in the English West Midlands where at Birmingham’s Summerfield Recording Studios there have been plenty of exciting equipment additions, with plenty more on the way too!
Summerfield has announced these numerous upgrades in a joint collaboration with Musical Director Marcus Byrne. A new Pro Tools HD Thunderbolt system and Mac Pro are in addition to a substantial list of gear installed as a fixture brought in by Marcus who will be moving all his projects to the studio as a permanent base. The complete list of Summerfield Studios’ new gear can be viewed at the top of its equipment spec here, but some of the highlights include outboard from Avalon, DBX, Eventide and Focusrite; microphones by Neumann, AKG, Rode and more; and lots of great synths, guitars, amps and other backline.
Currently tracking and mixing at the studio for The Saturdays Greatest Hits Tour, Marcus reveals how the simple interfacing is a real game changer. “I can bring in projects on my MacBook Pro and with Thunderbolt connection, I can be in full control of the studios 48 analogue Pro Tools I/O, the console and all the outboard with just 1 thunderbolt cable. All my patches, samples, plugs and projects all in one place”.
