![]() ![]() We’d seen nothing but great reviews about Audient’s design, engineering, build quality and, most importantly, pre-amps and now we’ve experienced all that first hand, plus their amazing customer service, we are incredibly happy with our choice. We initially pitched the idea of having 72 channels and it seemed everyone immediately got behind our vision and fully supported us throughout the whole process which was really refreshing. The deal was sealed when we visited Leeds Beckett University to demo the console they have there and we instantly fell in love with the great sound and workflow.įinally, there’s the fact that because it’s a new-build console, we won’t be forking out thousands more each year on maintenance or restoration but we still get that classic analogue sound and feel.įrom the moment we made an enquiry, we received such a high standard of customer service from Audient. ![]() “there’s no escaping the fact that Audient products are much more competitively priced than many other brands”Īlso, there’s no escaping the fact that Audient products are much more competitively priced than many other brands in the same market yet, as we’ve discovered, you don’t compromise on quality and you get an incredible amount of bang for your buck with each product. We have a lot of other products from vintage and contemporary UK brands in the studio and it feels good to be supporting the thriving local pro audio industry. The fact you’re a innovative company that’s based in the UK appealed to us. There were a number of contributing factors really. What was the motivation to go for Audient initially? It’s as if the room was designed around the console. Now that it’s in the control room too we can’t imagine any other size or configuration of desk looking so good. Anyone familiar with analogue consoles will know that the recall (or lack thereof!) can make revisiting sessions time consuming and frustrating, but with 72 channels, we can actually split a few projects that are all in progress at the same time across the desk and leave settings in place – very useful! ![]() It’s also helpful having that many channels for the band/artist orientated work we do. We’re lucky enough to have one of the largest live rooms outside of London and as such can facilitate larger ensembles such as brass bands, choirs and orchestras, all of which require significant amounts of channels, so now we know we’re prepared for almost any recording scenario. Touching on a range of topics, including the Isle Of Wight festival and ‘in the box’ mixing, to advice for budding audio people, Audient started by asking why The Foundry Studio wanted quite so many channels on their mixing console. As owners of the largest Audient desk ever built, Sam and Chris have equally big plans for the newly-launched Sheffield studio – as Audient found out recently, when we caught up with them both for a chat. The Foundry Studio co-owners, Sam Craggs and Chris Palmer are just catching their breath after completing the mammoth task of installing 72 channels of Audient ASP8024 in Studio 1. ![]()
