This week we have upgraded a couple of our plug-ins on our Musikbox rig. The Soundtoys TDM FX bundle has gone up to version 4 adding two new great plug-ins – Decapitator and PanMan to the rig. We have also upgraded Autotune to the latest version – Autotune Evo. Now you too can warble like X Factor (or tweak your already perfect artists). For a full up to date check of the specification at Musikbox and to find out why this is such a great VR mix room click here.
After the first few sessions in the Engine Room, we firmly believe we have created one of the best mix rooms in London. After installing the Ex-Olympic Studios SSL G Series console a few weeks ago and a few sessionsdown the line, the feedback has been nothing but positive. However there was one thing missing, a good A/D convertor. So after a few days of listening tests and putting the best convertors on trial head to head, we unanimously decided that the Lavry Gold, courtesy of the fantastic KMR, was the one to go for. The Engine Room now has the very best convertors to mix you tracks through. The Lavry Gold is only found in the best rooms around the world by the best mix engineers and therefore it was a must for us. For further details on this incredible sounding piece of kit read here.

This is another gem of a microphone added to an already bulging spec at the Motor Museum. For a full Motor Museum Spec. click here:
