The hybrid facility, combining analog and digital workflows, supports music production in any monitoring format, from stereo to immersive 7.1.4. Daniel Reis of Sennheiser and Neumann Brasil, provided technical design for the Jasmin Music studio, which is named for Bacelar’s company and record label. Reis and his team also integrated all of the equipment.
“When I started working with Daniel,” Bacelar says, “he came up with a very interesting proposal to build a studio that could transit between analog and digital.” The SSL Duality Delta offers a hybrid workflow by combining an automated analog mixing desk with the capability to fully control a DAW from the console surface and is an appropriate centerpiece of the studio.
“It’s almost as if Duality were two devices in one,” Bacelar says. “It has a modern architecture, combining analog components with all the characteristics of equalization, preamps, compressors, etcetera, and it works as a controller for Pro Tools and other software. It has plug-in and parameter controls, so you don't even have to use the mouse very often.”
