Digital Transition = Analog Opportunity
For the last few years, commercial production facilities throughout the world have been switching from analog to digital platforms for the added flexibility of serving several clients needs at one time - Digital consoles, routing matrixes, effects, recording platforms all add to the flexibility/session recall-ability needed to accomplish tighter booking schedules for world class commercial post production rooms costing several hundred dollars per hour. Some technical directors estimate as much as a 20% higher project throughput capability.
The analog equipment that is being de-commissioned from these rooms is becoming available to the music recording community at very attractive pricing, which, in turn, is creating opportunities for music recording studios to own some of the best equipment ever manufactured at a fraction of the original invoice price.
Examples:
Solid State Logic consoles costing 250,000.00 - over 1,000,000,00 are now available used for 20 - 25% of original invoice.
Neve V series consoles costing 200,000.00 - over 1,000,000.00 are now available for 15 - 20% of original invoice.
Euphonix consoles costing 150,000.00 - over 500,000.00 are now available for 10 - 20% of original invoice.
Media Canada has an extensive network of contacts in the commercial production venues throughout the world, allowing us to help you source a console that - in the past - would have been financially impractical. Imagine - a world class recording platform at a fraction of what this would have cost just a few years ago!
