CREATIVE COMMUNITY NEWS => Roy Hendrickson Installs New Yamaha DM2000 in Studio R Roy Hendrickson has a new Yamaha DM 2000 96-input console in his Studio R on the 4th floor. The new Yamaha console is interfaced with a fully loaded Pro Tools HD3 rig complete with 48 I/O. Hendrickson frequently utilizes the Pro Tools layer and locator on the DM 2000, allowing him to mix much faster and without having to look at the computer screen at all during mixing. This allows him to stay and mix in the sweet spot all day. The P2 interface is used to control the collection of analog machines located in Studio R. Now fully capable of 96K digital surround mixing, Studio R has a full complement of multitrack and 2-track analog recorders including Ampex and Studer machines. Other equipment includes an Urei LA3A, Pultec equalizers, Neve 1073 channel modules, Eventide SP2016, and an Ampex ATR-102. The room is also tied into analog reverb units, EMT 140ST, located in the basement. Roy, and his 23 years of experience, is available for your engineering / mixing needs.
