Manufactüra Studios announce their partnership with nlinear Studios, the new mastering facilities located in Portugal. nlinear are very well equipped for this sort of task, owning an impressive array of top the range dynamics processors.
The mighty Korg Wavestation EX. This dream machine has been used extensively for film. It is a robust piece of gear. I've owned mine for 10 years and it just carries on delivering. Nice key weight, superb quality of internal FX, balanced outputs, big LCD screen for tweak-heads like myself who like to build sounds from scratch. Can't get enough of it. It is an unusual module capable of unusual sounds.
The Genelec 8030A are perfect for a small project studio as near-fields. I like their clarity and rugged construction. I would have chosen the Dynaudio BM5A or 6A over these, but they a bit more expensive and require a bit more care when moving. Still, Genelec is Genelec.
The first release of the Digidesign Mbox features two extremely clean Focusrite preamps. I have used it to record on location straight into the laptop before I got my Tascam HD-P2. However, I still use it a lot for editing in Pro Tools with RTAS plug-ins. For tracking bands, I have access to the TDM systems.
At the core of Manufactüra Studios, a G4 MDD provides the hardware platform for running Pro Tools. This was the last G4 model capable of running Mac OS 9, still useful if you have a Mix Plus 888/24 digidesign system.
What a life saver when you are out there in the field! The Tascam HD-P2 might not be as rugged as a Sound Devices field recorder, but I can't complain about the solid performance and sound quality of this toy. Its plastic body makes it very light to carry around in its protective case.
The revised XL series of the industry-standard AKG 414 range provides even more features over its predecessors. You can hear it as an ambient mic in our "Bleak Hill" documentary, connected to the HD-P2. This XLII model has a bit more brightness than the XLS around 3Khz. I simply adore the versatility of this condenser and its solid body. Dare I ask: Who needs EQ with this mic?
This is another versatile mic with its built-in bass roll-off and attenuation pad. Very flat frequency response. Its cardioid pattern makes it useful for many applications. I like it for instruments but I have used it also on location for picking up environment / dialogue at close distances. I was surprised with the bass response and low self-noise.

The Scotia Bar is one of the oldest hostelries in Glasgow having been established in 1792. Owned by Belhaven this Glasgow institution is largely unchanged inside, with it's low ceiling, wooden beams and collection of vintage photographs of the city, it does a good job at transporting you back in time.
Serving great value lunches and a variety of draft beers The Scotia is a great night off in a switched on atmosphere, where people aren..t allowed to just spectate.
There are live bands from Thursday through to Sunday but if you fancy a song yourself, guitars can be provided.
Bands wanted to play at the Scotia. If you're interested phone 0141 552 8681 and ask for Mary, alternatively email The Scotia for details

how's the pond 'o evil editing going??
i;m still waiting for spring,,, smoking more than i probably should and missing london dearly...
Hi Nishal...The new tracks are sounding atmospheric, beautifully crafted little gems, kitchen goddess made me smile, and I never tire of listening to Bleak Hill... hope you continue feeling the inspiration, sarah xx
