NEW YORK - LA Digital Post (www.ladigital.com) has added an
audio post suite to its list of rooms available for hire. The Manhattan
facility, which has more than 35 Avid systems available for rent in-house or on
location, recently acquired additional space at its 42nd St. location and added
production and logging facilities, as well as the new 5.1 surround sound mixing
suite.
The room is based around Digidesign’s Pro Tools|HD3 system,
with V.7 software, running on a Power Mac G5 Quad 2.7GHz. A Digidesign Control
24 is used for mixing. The room incorporates Blue Sky 5.1 monitors with bass
management, a Sony 50-inch plasma monitor and two 23-inch Apple Cinema
Displays. Two Sony 14-inch NTSC monitors are also available.
The room is connected to all of the facility’s Avid editing
bays through the Unity storage system, creating a tapeless environment. A
voiceover booth on the same floor is linked to the audio suite through video
cameras and monitors.
Since the room came on line it has been host to several
audio post sessions, including mixing for VH1’s Rap School and ABC’s Wife Swap,
both for RDF Media.
