API 1608 CONSOLE A POWERFUL SOLUTION FOR CHT ESTUDIOS IN CHILE

SANTIAGO, CHILE:

With sound quality a top priority, mix and mastering engineer Gonzalo GonzA¡lez E. wanted to expand his studio offerings, while maintaining the high quality of recording for which his clients are accustomed. With all the needs of his growing studio in mind, GonzA¡lez was advised by 57 Pro Audio, API’s Chilean distributor, to add a standard 1608 console.

The 1608 is a perfect match for the size of CHT Estudios, as well as both the independent and bigger international label clients that it works with. “We usually record bands of rock, pop, hip-hop, reggae, and folk music of Chile,” said GonzA¡lez. “Many people in Chile receive this new console as good news for the recording industry.”

Along with the 1608, CHT Estudios has a pair of 3124 preamps, which GonzA¡lez says he uses on everything. He also uses a 527 compressor in his API lunchboxA®. “With the 1608, we can now use the preamps and EQ, and send to record in DAW, and at the same time. We can also use faders of the same channels to listen to tracks from DAW, which is very useful. My favorite feature is the ability to use EQs as an insert for gear outside the console. We can also sum thirty-two channels of DAW using sixteen channels on faders, with eight stereo returns and eight program bus ins.”

Coming up in the next few months, the studio will continue recording and mixing for an array of recognized artists. “All of the features make the console a powerful solution for a studio like ours,” said GonzA¡lez. “It is a good inspiration for us, and for everybody who likes music with a very good quality of recording.”
