Los Angeles, CA, October 12, 2021 — As a seven-time Grammy winner who has worked in top commercial facilities with the likes of Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Metallica and more recently the late Chick Corea, Brian Vibberts now does the vast majority of work out of his personal hybrid studio just outside LA. His path to become 'The Man with the Golden Ears' began in the early '90s, where he cut his teeth on a host of state-of-the-art, large-format recording consoles at legendary studios like Right Track, The Hit Factory and Record One, among others. Over the course of his journey, Vibberts became intimately familiar with several classic SSL consoles, including the 4000, 6000, 8000 and 9000 series desks.
This depth of tactile, hands-on experience and production knowledge acquired over three decades has given Vibberts a fully-formed perspective when it comes to identifying the key building blocks necessary for his own hybrid studio. The most recent additions to his production toolkit include an SSL UC1 plug-in controller, along with several SSL Native plug-ins. The UC1 controller, whose tactile functions and ergonomics carry the DNA of the SSL consoles he's worked on in the past, has become an indispensable element in Vibberts' mixing workflow.
