So, to make a long story short, I'm partners with a few guys building a studio in Chicago, a few blocks from Johhny K's GrooveMaster Studios. It's a beautiful old building with an amazing live room, but...The unique bit will be in the control room.
On of the guys building the studio doesn't want to deal with moving his huge mixing console into the new studio at the moment, so he has ordered a custom 48 inch touch screen that will act is the "console." It's base off of the same technology that the iPhone uses, so imagine a 48" iPhone. We will be running PTHD3, Nuendo and Sequoia (PT for tracking, Nuendo for mixing and Sequoia for mastering and CD authoring). This is more than likely going to be placed in a custom desk, and the mix window from any of the programs will be run on it. Above, as in a normal studio situation, will be the "edit view" monitors. The options for editing via stylus and hand are pretty cool as well!
There will also be a PT8LE rig on a cart strictly for editing, so you can have a few guys going at the same time. Couple this with some amazing outboard gear and mics (EDIT: my bad, that mic was a 1950 Neumann M49, #52 if I remember correctly now). We think it's going to be an amazing coupling of old and new technology.
It opens on the 15th of January, and you better believe I'll have pictures up!
