Project Studios & Radio Production

It’s not uncommon for larger commercial record- ing studios and radio production facilities to offer one or more smaller rooms for projects that don’t require as large an area to produce. One of the limiting factors in choosing gear for such a room is space, since fitting a large console, multitrack recorder, outboard signal processing, DAW-style editing, mixdown tools and MIDI sequencing can take up more room than a 10 x 10 area can provide. But the SX-1LE offers all of these abilities and more, in a compact package that’s slightly over 3 feet

wide by 2 feet deep.

In addition to powerful recording, mixing and editing capabilities, the SX-1LE has a professional- quality 128-track MIDI sequencer. Integrated with the recording engine, MIDI events can be controlled

down to sample-accurate precision and scrubbed along with the audio. The four MIDI outputs pro- vide access to 64 channels of MIDI tone genera- tors, lighting controllers, effects processors, or any other equipment using the MIDI communication standard.

For multimedia projects, the SX-1LE can be syn- chronized using MIDI or SMPTE timecode. There’s

also a word clock input and output for digital audio routing, in addition to two sets of S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs and ADAT optical digital I/O. As your studio expands, you can add another 24 digital or analog inputs and outputs using the three expansion slots.

Each of the SX-1LE’s components offer the fea- ture set and audio quality expected for high-end music and audio production, making it an attrac- tive choice for smaller yet commercially viable recording environments.
