: : : : THE HELM : : : : The interface at Woodcrest's helm is hybrid. Woodcrest features a boutique analogue front end into mastering grade analogue to digital converters. This enables us to capture the sought after analogue sound with no typical artifacts associated with digital recording. Thereafter, automation is written via the control surfaces. Stems and solo tracks are piped back out to analogue devices for their glue and character, and digital processing is done as well using top plugins like Universal Audio and Sonnox. Woodcrest also has gigs of sample libraries for use midi devices and midi material. Click the image for a closer look and details of the setup.

There are over 40 microphones in our closet for matching a source's sound properties to what we want to hear coming out of the speakers in a mix. This microphone selection allows us to sculpt the overall tonal quality of any source's sound like an EQ but without the smearing and phase shifts EQs impart on sound.
