Isocronous Workshop

Its not very often we have an opportunity to do something a little out of the ordinary, but more so here at Sound & Motion Studios. At the end of every year our staff from all branches congregate in Cape town main branch to have a week of collaboration, workshops on recording, surround mixing, and a annual general meeting, oh and don't forget the staff party!

At the end of last year, for the recording workshop we invited ISOCHRONOUS, a talented and diverse band from Pretoria, to come and be our guinea pigs, and record a single called OXYGEN in our studio, the band jumped at the chance, having worked with Sound and Motion in Cape town and Johannesburg on their recent acoustic album.

Another interesting piece of the opportunity was that I (Matt James) arranged to travel to Vancouver, Canada in December '09 for a holiday, I booked a day in a renowned studio called Vogville studios, where mixed the single on a mint SSL 4000 series console using some of the most expensive and pristine outboard gear I have ever laid eyes on! ( Teletronix, API, Emperical Labs, Tubetech, Avalon etc. etc.) It was an amazing experience, and I am stoked with the result, it sounds great!
