Chuck Ainlay & George
Massenburg
Masterclass Seminars May 26 - 29,
2010. LONDON.
Grammy Award winning US
producer/engineers and founding members of the METAlliance, Chuck Ainlay &
George Massenburg, are to jointly host two recording masterclass seminars in
London, directly after the forthcoming AES convention. The two-day sessions,
to be held at British Grove Studios in West London on May 26-29 2010, will
cover aspects of the entire recording process: preproduction session planning,
studio set-up for tracking, mic placement, overdubs, mixing, delivery, and
archiving. They will also cover effective use of tools: microphones, analogue
& digital equipment, outboard effects and plug-ins, in-the-box as well as
analogue console mixing, plus detailed stereo & multichannel mixing
techniques.
British Grove is a state of the art facility and widely recognised as one of
the finest recording studios in Europe. The seminars will not be private
events but delegate numbers will be strictly limited. The event is being
managed by Sable Marketing, UK distributors for Manley Labs & George
Massenburg's GML range of equipment.
Engineers, producers, musicians and audio engineering students wishing to
register their interest in attending can find more information here.
The High Pass Side Chain option
is now a STANDARD OPTION on all Mastering Versions or Normal
Variable Mu® limiters for no additional charge. This
feature adds two switches to the front
panel, one for each channel, so that when engaged, the side
chain will not respond to frequencies lower than 100Hz. (We
standardly use 100Hz as the -3dB point. Other frequencies can
be custom ordered.) This HP SC Mod can be used with music with
heavy bass lines or bass-heavy mixes where you don't want the
bass driving the whole action of the compressor.
The filter is a very gentle 6db per octave 1 pole filter, and will
typically be down 1-3db at 100 Hz, and down 4-6db at 50Hz. As you decrease
the frequency the amount of limiting will decrease also. At the extreme LF
(<20hz) there should be very little gain reduction going on. The whole
intent of the filter was to keep very LF stuff (like a heavy kick drum)
from activating the compression/limiting so that the overall level didn't
duck with every drumbeat.

TWO new STINGRAY integrated amplifiers:
<-- 2009: Manley presents TWO brand new Stingray amplifiers. Both
models feature the same classic all-tube signal path that made the classic
Stingray so revered with audiophiles around the world for over the last
decade. Same beefy and ballsy output transformers, wound in-house at
Manley Labs, same tube compliment featuring 12AT7 input tubes, 6414 driver
tubes, and 8 x super strong Russian EL84. The B+ capacity has been largely
increased which results in an even more tighter bottom end. Boom without
bloat. Triode to UltraLinear switching is now standard. Flexible routing
for recording and subwoofer outputs are provided.
The remote control transmits via RF (Radio Frequency) and IR
(Infrared). The RF mode allows transmission through cabinets and through
walls -- control your Stingray from anywhere in the house! Inclusion of IR
capability allows universal learning remotes to be used with the system.
The Stingray II has four sets of stereo analog inputs. The 4th input is
on a stereo 1/8" jack for easy interface with portable devices and
computers. The Stingray iTube® has an iPod dock as the 4th
audio input which will charge and play your iPod, iPhone, or iTouch
device. Track advance, back and volume control can be commanded from the
Stingray iTube's remote control. The iPod's video output can be ported to
a monitor via the S-Video output. The Stingray iTube® has been licensed
from Apple as a Made for iPod approved device.
Note: the original Stingray has been discontinued.
