WORLD CLASS NUAGE 7.1 STUDIO WITH REDNET UNVEILED SeamEdu School of Pro-Expressionism The Mission is to provide holistic, experiential and globally relevant learning & standing true to unveil the Nuage 7.1 Recording & Mixing Studio. This studio is a perfect case study for futuristic technology like Network audio, latest mixing surface, working with 2 DAWs like Pro Tools & Nuendo simultaneously. Think about the vast knowledge that can be acquired in this studio. Incorporating network audio in education for the first time in India. This time Seamedu did it with Focusrite Rednet. What is Nuage? Nuage is a DAW controller by Yamaha. It is the heart of the studio where all the signals are controlled. It’s a wonderful control surface that can control multiple DAWs simultaneously. It has multiple user assignable switches. This gives the students flexibility to use their custom keys & commands. The touch screen display and associated knobs with Nuage Master Control does a great job for setting cues and monitors. We will be using Nuage to work primarily with DAWs like Pro Tools HD & Nuendo. Students will get a chance to work in this studio for the Multitrack recording project, Post-production, 5.1/7.1 mixing projects or even their own personal projects. What is Rednet & Dante protocol? Rednet has been designed keeping in mind latest studios with multi-recording rooms, live sound, broadcast & other applications. Completely digital so no running cables to record & transfer audio from 1 room to the other. RedNet is a step above its I/O competition, providing some of the most transparent and pristine audio quality available – with the added benefit of the systems revolutionary networking capabilities. Dante, developed by Australian company Audinate, is a tried and tested ultra-low-latency digital audio networking system based on Ethernet and IP technology – implementations of internationally agreed standards. Dante networks have been used in the live sound industry for several years. Audio can be made available anywhere it is required, capturing or relaying a live performance or distributing audio to previously hard-to-reach or prohibitively expensive locations. Students will now get a chance to record music over Dante protocol using the Focusrite Rednet hardware. This gives them flexibility to sit in any of our recording rooms, music production lab, classroom, or anywhere in the building using a single CAT6 cable & start recording. Apart from Nuage & Rednet systems Seamedu also acquired industry standard Mackie HR824MK2 7.1 monitoring system. These speakers are mind blowing for film mixing. Apart from 7.1 monitoring system, student will also get a chance to mix & master their music on the latest Neumann KH120 monitoring system. The Score Magazine www.thescoremagazine.com 43
