Peter Manning Robinson at Chaton

Today Dan and Mike joined Otto D’Agnolo at his Chaton Studios in Phoenix Arizona for a recording session with Composer Peter Manning Robinson.

Robinson has had a good deal of success as a composer for film and TV, most notably for his work on “With out a Trace”. Today was the first of two sessions at Chaton, involving a 16 member string section as well as a small brass and wood wind section under the direction of Warren Coen, who was also the conductor for the Arnell Symphonies project last year.

For the tracking session, we used:
Royer SF-24 Stereo Ribbon Microphone
Royer R-122 (Pair) Ribbon Microphones
DPA 4021 (Pair) Condencer Microphones
Beyer Dynamic M-160 (Pair) Ribbon Microphones
Neumann U87 (Pair) Condenser Microphone
Neumann U89 Condenser Microphone
Millenia Media HV-3D-8DC Pre-Amplifiers
True Systems P2 Analog Pre-Amplifiers
API 512 Pre-Amplifiers
Pro-Tools HD @ 192kHz

The session ran extremely smooth with Dan taking care of the microphones, placement and pre-amps, Otto taking care of the control room, tracking and pro-tools and Mike……well….taking care of EVERYTHING else.

Well be back again tomorrow to finish up.
