Well we’ve gone and done it- We just had a massive upgrade here at Sweetsounds and we now feature some new gear from Manley Labs, Crane Song, Rascal Audio and Apogee. What does this all really mean? It means that your music and your mix just got elevated big time at our studio. Here is the breakdown:

Crane Song Avocet: Unsurpassed monitor controls now giving you the best in a professional listening experience.

Manley Labs: Variable MU Stereo Limiter Compressor and limiter- The classic Tube sound- This gives you the awesome tube sound to gel on top of your mixes.

Rascal Audio Tonebuss: Analog Summing now giving your mixes the sound of a vintage console.

Apogee Converters: Pristine AD and DA 24 bit audio conversion with our Apogee Rosetta. This just stepped everything one notch for Sweetsounds.

Special thanks to our friend Jason Finkel in helping setup and advising us with our studio upgrade. Look out for hot new mixing and mastering capabilities from our engineers. Lots more good things to come in 2012. New mixes posted coming soon…

Happy new year!

Dinesh, Cid and Patrick.

Blank City Official Trailer from Celine Danhier on Vimeo.

While we typically don’t get into talking about films, this film ‘Blank City’ looks too cool to not get excited about. It’s a documentary directed by one of our friends and it covers New York filmmakers in it’s heyday of creativity in the 70′s and 80′s. Lots of great artists, musicians and actors (now very famous) are in the film. It’s from a time in New York that inspires us to make things and create a whole new community from our own creative work. It’s at the IFC and we’re definitely seeing this one.

Our very own Sweetsounds engineer extraordinaire and all around super cool Patrick Billard has been making and performing some heavy weight dance music sounds under the name Trap.Avoid. Along with a friend and collaborator in this project, Patrick was just featured on RCRD.LBL’s site and also has music available online released by Brooklyn label Dither Down records. Congrats to Patrick on his project and we hope you get a chance to work with him at Sweetsounds!
