#Repost @oceanwayaudio The birth of the Focusrite Console began in 1985 when Sir George Martin, otherwise known as the fifth Beatle, approached Rupert Neve to inquire about custom modules for AIR Montserrat. His studio regularly saw everyone from Paul McCartney, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and countless others. George discussed with Rupert a design for a top of the line microphone preamp and an EQ with low noise and an extra wide bandwidth with th...e main goal of it being as musical as possible. What came out of this vision was the ISA-110, featuring a transformer-coupled mic preamp with a four band EQ and highpass and lowpass filters. Word travelled fast and these standalone units could soon be found in studios across the planet. With the massive success achieved by the ISA-110 and the companion ISA-130 compressor/limiter/de-esser module, a ton of orders quickly emerged. In the late 80’s Focusrite spared no expense when working on their ambitious studio desk, but as costs rapidly reached astronomical levels, the rights to the console were acquired by Phil Dudderidge of Soundcraft Electronics. The Focusrite Studio Console was finally completed by his team. From the work on ISA-110 and ISA-130, Phil’s engineers crafted equally successful designs, the ISA-215, 220 and 430. Since then, the Focusrite Studio Console has gained an enviable reputation for dynamic punch and clinical equalisation and firmly established itself as the recording and mixing desk of choice in select studios all over the world. The list of records made on this desk includes everyone from Green Day, No Doubt and tons of others. It is no surprise that one of the greatest studio pictures of all time comes from some of the greatest studios of all time. This picture (which has made its rounds on instagram) was taken in Studio A at Ocean Way Hollywood. . . . . . . . . #studio #studiolife #recording #recordingstudio #studioflow #studiosetup #homestudios #geartalk #musicstudio #musicproduction #studios #brainworxaudio #console #wearefocusrite #brainworx #brainworxaudio #pluginalliance #oceanway #oceanwayaudio #studioporn #recordingstudio #oceanwaystudios
