Chris Lord-Alge Tapeless Workflow with Focusrite Rednet

·0 comments·

Multi-GRAMMY Award-winning producer/mixer, Chris Lord-Alge, whose resume includes recordings for Muse, Pink, Foo Fighters, Avril Lavigne, Green Day, Daughtry, Paramore and Black Eyed Peas, to name a few, has stayed with the trusted Sony 48-track tape format for over two decades, interfacing it with his equally vintage workhorse SSL 4000 E/G+ analogue console as well as an incredible amount of mostly vintage outboard gear. It’s been Lord-Alge’s signature sound all that time, and it continues to stand up for hit after hit.

Interview Phil Dudderidge – Chairman Focusrite Audio Engineering

·0 comments·

Just a few months ago we got the opportunity for doing an interview with the current CEO of Focusrite (and Novation) Phil Dudderidge. After doing some reasearch we found that mr. Dudderidge is quite a remarkable man. In his early years he worked as a sound engineer. For a while he was even the live sound engineer of Led Zeppelin. From here on his path lead to developing and customizing PA systems and live mixing consoles and eventually in founding Soundcraft. Short after Soundcraft got sold to Harmann Industries, mr. Dudderidge bought the assets of Focusrite from, initial founder, Rupert Neve. And that’s where this journey began.
