AMEK Recall 56 Console
-
The Recall 56 console by AMEK, a UK company, was originally introduced back in 1993 as a computer-assisted live performance console. With Recall, AMEK had the first dedicated cue-based automation system that provided live performance engineers the innovative features and benefits previously only available to the studio environment.
-
AMEK mixing consoles are one of the top professional analog mixing consoles ever produced. Many of the top albums heard on radio stations, CDs, and cassettes from all genres from the 1970s to the present day have been recorded on AMEK mixing consoles.
-
Wye Mountain Studios acquired the console in 2015 and it is the centerpiece of our recording studio.

Pro Tools
We record, edit, and do "cleanups" using Pro Tools. We do a final mix using the analog console creating a final stereo track in a wave file format.
Edit Station
-
Besides editing musical recordings, we currently edit a weekly church service to upload on the church website.
-
We use Cool Edit Pro to edit a wave file, which we then convert to an mp3 format so it can be published on the web.
-
We use the iZotope RX restoration program to minimize unwanted noise in copying old vinyl or tape to disk.
