Dog Is Dead Debut Album ‘All Our Favourite Stories’

The debut album from Dog is Dead, ‘All Our Favourtie Stories’ was released on the 8th October by Atlantic Records UK. Mixed for the major part in our Studios, with mixers Such as Dan Grech and Charlie Hugall (Gotham Producers) in The Engine Room and Assault & Battery 2 and Craig Silvey in The Garden.

Released October 8th

‘Hands Down’

The Killers – Battle Born, album tracks ‘Runaways’, ‘Battle Born’ and ‘A Matter Of Time’ mixed by Alan Moulder

The newly released fourth album ‘Battle Born’, from The Killers had three tracks mixed by Alan Moulder at our Assault and Battery studio. The title track ‘Battle Born’, ‘Runaways’ and ‘A Matter Of Time’.

The album explores love, families and broken homes all tied together with big choruses and uplifting ‘Killers’ sing a long anthems, making the album seem a lot less bleak than the themes would suggest. This time round the sound takes Brandon’s previous label as, ‘indie kid floor fillers’ right to the doorstep of arena rock and stadium fillers. That could well be something to do with the U2 influences coming from Steve Lillywhite who part produced the album.

Album Out Now

Lucy Rose – ‘Like I Used To’, produced by Charlie Hugall

The debut album ‘Like I Used To’ from Lucy Rose was produced in full by Charlie Hugall, previous work; Florence and The Machine, Delilah and Ed Sheeran.

The album is clearly a diary of emotions Lucy went through in what seems a rocky relationship. She expresses herself through her lyrics and gentle folk vocals, accompanied by softly perfect production and simple guitars. Hints of early Laura Marling definitely shine through, which can only be a compliment. Of course, there’s a strong sense of Bombay Bicycle club, but that may just be due to Lucy being used on a number of their tracks before now.

Album best listened too when curled up on a sofa whilst the wet and windy weather continues to soak the UK outside. A definite, relaxing set of melodies.

Album released on the 24th September.

Mumford And Sons – ‘Babel’

Recorded in part at Angelic Studios and The Pool the second album ‘Babel’ from Mumford And Sons released 24th September.

A natural progression second album, still for the majority dominated by banjos, barn dance melodies and anthems. The album is almost sure to be a nostalgic crowd pleaser at somewhere like Glastonbury 2013.

Here’s a video to their first single from the album, ‘I Will Wait’ :

We can’t wait to witness this live in some muddy British Fields! A large cider in hand, of course!

‘Beacon’ was released on September 3rd

Brand New SSL XPanda console at 123 Studios, Shoreditch

123 Studios in Shoreditch has acquired a brand new SSL Xpanda console, meaning you can now have up to 40 channels of SSL on mix down.

Taken from www.kmraudio.com/…

Building on the success of the highly acclaimed X-Desk, ‘X-Panda’ is a new small format analogue mixer aimed at project studio owners and it packs a versatile feature set into its compact frame. As a standalone product it serves as a high quality 24 input mixer that can be used for tracking (in conjunction with external mic pres) or master mix summing. In conjunction with an SSL X-Desk, X-Panda introduces 24 additional channels, which via the ‘X-Desk Link’ connection, feed directly into the X-Desk Master Buss, Cue and Aux Send/Return system. In conjunction with an X-Rack summing system fitted with a Master Module, X-Panda adds faders and additional inputs to create a versatile mixer. X-Panda can also be used with any other mixer to expand available channel count.

X-Panda provides 8 mono channels (each with Main and Alt inputs giving 16 mono inputs) and 4 stereo channels, giving a total of 24 channels at mix down. All channels feature an input Level Trim with a centre détente at Unity Gain, tri-colour signal indicator LEDs, Phase Invert, an Insert and a Direct Channel Output (which can be switched post fader). Each channel has a Stereo Cue section with dedicated Level and Pan controls. When tracking this is traditionally used to create a monitor feed to the Stereo Cue Buss Output but on mono channels Alt buttons flip the Stereo Cue section controls to adjusting the Alt input Level & Pan for mix down. Each channel features independent FX1 and FX2 send level controls (globally switched Pre/Post fader). Self illuminated heavy duty Solo and Cut buttons, Pan/Balance controls and precision 100mm faders complete the channel strip.

-Panda features a stereo Mix Buss, Stereo Cue Buss and Solo Buss. When linked to an X-Desk using the ‘X-Desk Link’ connection, the X-Panda Mix Buss and Stereo Cue Buss feed into the respective Busses on the X-Desk. The Solo systems are also linked so that Soloing any channel mutes all other channels on all Linked units. Similarly when an X-Panda is Linked to an X-Desk with a Master Module fitted the Mix, Cue and Solo Busses are also Linked. It is possible to cascade up to 8 X-Desk and X-Panda units using the ‘X-Desk Link’ system, enabling very high channel count systems to be configured.

When used as a standalone product the X-Panda main Mix Buss and FX Busses are set to sum at unity gain enabling it to act as a summing mixer without the need for Master Level controls.
