“We’ve literally rebuilt the studio around Red systems, and it’s made a huge difference.” —

Rebuilding With Red
“We had decided that we wanted to have Dolby Atmos® mixing capability at Heiga Studios, but the infrastructure needed for that seemed to mean that we'd have to buy a lot more equipment to manage it," he recalls. “I realized that with the R1, we would be able to, for instance, easily switch between stereo and Atmos mix monitoring at the press of a single button. And the Red 16Line does a lot of things from a single unit, including letting us move between multiple DAWs and also act as a hub for Dante which we are regularly investing in more of in the studio.
“With both DigiLink and Thunderbolt connections on the Red 16Line, it's easy to switch from Pro Tools | HD to a second DAW without the need to reconfigure option cards in the interface. We just change the host mode either in the RedNet Control software or on the device front panel and change DAWs. We've literally rebuilt the studio around Red systems, and it's made a huge difference."
Cost- And Time-Efficient Right Out Of The Box
“All of this is accomplished at the push of a button, instead of having to re-patch every time," he says. But just as important are the benefits for business. Malury remarks, “Being in charge of Heiga Studios as a CEO, my priority is to provide not only the tools our team needs but also a cost- and time-efficient workflow. Coming from an audio engineer background, I would also never sacrifice quality — I understand the trust artists give us when they are here to capture their art.
