MURLYN MUSIC produced the following on their Raindirk console: 98 Degrees: "Because of You". This song was Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100 for twelve weeks - top position No: 3. The single has sold 1,700,000 copies and the album ("98 Degrees and Rising"), over 1,500,000 copies in the USA. The CD release has topped 4 million sales. __________________________________________ ROMMARO STUDIO, one-hour south of Stockholm at Trosa, have received their extra 12 modules for the LN2 surround sound console. Raindirk Audio stripped out the console frame in order to relocate surround VU meters and move the central master modules to locate a conveniently placed Tascam control keyboard. Auxiliary and cue VU meters were replaced by track VUs 33-48. Opportunity was taken to add a sleep facility which switches off all channel incandescent lamps, VU illumination and the DK audioscope. A second control added, switches all channels 'on' ready for the next pass with the Audiomate moving fader system. Headphone amplifier outlets were added around the console and control room. A delightful studio, good accommodation, excellent food - recommended! | ||
