Gear List
Deep Blue is the truly ultimate hybrid recording and mixing studio.
With a classic vintage Neve 8128 console and 24 track MCI 2” tape machine DBS combines highly sought after analog outboard gear with the latest Pro Tools HD3 PCIe operating system. We have loads of plug-ins from waves to UAD-2 and a digital automation control surface. DBS is not only set up for 100% analog mixdowns but for HW inserts to be used on anything you can point a stick at - including individual Neve desk channel strips. Summing options are available with choices to sum through the Neve 8128 or through the external summing mixer. The machine room houses the most powerful Apple MacPro and AD/DA converters available.
