CHARLOTTE, NC - Jay Howard Production Audio recently performed a three-studio overhaul that includes the addition of three Fairlight DREAM Satellite digital audio workstations. Satellite is a 16-, 32- or 48-track digital audio workstation with a choice of analog and/or digital inputs and outputs, compatible with both QDC-based and MFX3plus-based project formats and with 96kHz/24-bit audio quality. As with all members of the DREAM range, Satellite incorporates Binnacle Editing, a new editing model designed to enhance the speed and ease of editing beyond Fairlight's MFX3.48.
"We've been with Fairlight since the early 90's, but we needed to upgrade our MFXs," notes general manager Jason Hausman. "We looked around at a lot of different systems and had several companies demo their DAWs here and we realized that still, nothing touches Fairlight. Unlike other products we demo'd, which crashed and took two hours to get running, the Fairlight workstations just worked. Nothing out there touches the editing prowess of the Fairlight DREAM systems and they are built like tanks - indestructible."
Jay Howard Production Audio runs their systems on a Mac network, as a virtual PC network rather than a regular PC net. The studio's list of clients includes film ADR; music recording; and voiceovers for TV, radio and corporate work.
