Systems Descriptions

Digital Audio

We work on both PC and Mac platforms, with multiple workstations and software that helps translate among a wide variety of programs. Each computer is equipped with up to a 24-channel digital interface.

Analog Audio

Every analog point in the studio is accessible via a 480-point TT patchbay, which ties the recording booth, converters, machine room, analog recorders and all analog outboard gear together. Additional signals from equipment brought into the studio may also be integrated via a 48-point TRS patchbay.

MIDI

MIDI is accessible via an Emagic Unitor 8, with MIDI cabling available in any room.

Video

Each workstation is equipped with two large monitors. There is a 40-inch monitor in the recording booth for ADR work.

Recording Front End

OSR has built a vast array of high-end microphones, preamps, compressors, EQ’s and converters. Our collection allows for any approach to recording, from minimalist and true to highly processed and colored. Because so much mixing is done entirely in the digital domain, we find that it is often desirable to capture, during recording, the unique sonic character certain analog gear can impart.

Mixing

Mixing is done entirely in-the-box using our powerful workstations, with full automation for extremely detailed mixes and long-term recallability. A plethora of classic and current processing and effects plugins provides a wide variety of approaches, from complete transparency to over-the-top color.
