Audio Equipment

My System

The equipment I use allows me to move projects seamlessly in and out of both large and small audio facilities.

Pro Tools

I'm currently running Pro Tools Version 8.4 which seems to be very solid.

Desk - Mix Automation

Using the Digidesign 003 with motorised faders  makes life very simple. All the automation written using this desk is replicated instantly by the audio mixing consoles in large facilities running Pro Tools, which these days has to be 99% of them.

Audio Monitoring

I have for years used Genelec monitors as I believe the sound they produce allows me to mix very accurately for TV. I use Genelec 1029A and 8030A.

A small pair of Sony TV speakers provide me with a very realistic check that the mix will stand up on a domestic set.

Meters

PPM meters are absolutely essential when mixing for TV as all the broadcasters seem to live by them, so I use them all the time.
