Tierra Studios this month became the first music recording studio in Houston to install a Solid State Logic Duality, a highly sought-after mixing console that produces music with the sound that fans expect from world-class artists.
The studio will record its first project on the new console during the first week of June.
“This will enhance the production value of our work and it will be an attraction for various artists who look for studios with SSL Consoles,” said Tierra Studios Sound Engineer Glenn Wheeler. “It means a higher level of quality, and it offers features that accommodate today’s workflow in audio production.”
In the past, sound engineers recorded music as analog waveforms, the natural format processed by the human ear. Now they work with computer software that digitally records unlimited numbers of tracks. The new SSL Duality console blends both worlds by integrating fully with Tierra Studios’ digital system, while simultaneously enabling audio producers to work in the analog format. This changes the sound dramatically and allows engineers to make powerful enhancements.
Tierra Studios will christen on the new console during the week of June 1 while recording country singer-songwriter Bryan Harkness, who recently signed a recording contract with Tierra Records. Harkness releases his debut album this fall.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to really make Bryan’s music pop,” Wheeler said. “The console will add a lot of weight and strength to his music, and many shades of tonal color.”
