We recently updated our audio control room to better service the demand of our clients requiring custom music scoring, sound-for-picture, foley recording, and general audio mixing services.
From the outward appearance, our audio control room looks the same. It's what you can't see that has been greatly updated!
Our audio control room at a glance:
- Pro Tools HD|3 Version 10 (Updated)
- ProControl mixing console with 40 physical channels and 5.1 surround sound Edit Pack control section (Same as before)
- MacPro with 32GB RAM, 16TB sound library (Updated)
- Dozens of software synth packs and effects plugin packs (Updated)

Our audio control room is based on Avid/Digidesign Pro Tools HD|3 version 10, controlled by a spacious ProControl control surface desk with 40 dedicated channel strips and an Edit Pack section for added control and surround sound support. Our ever-growing list of software synths and effects plugins really help each project sound creative, unique, and fresh. The room is also equipped for sound-for-picture with LCD monitoring as well as projector monitoring with an electronically operated screen that comes down for each use. The audio control room can fit at least seven people comfortably.
Looking to the rear of the audio control room at OneRiver Media.
Our sound booth is big enough for at least three people and plenty of I/O for discreet micing and monitoring. We normally pick from our Neumann microphones, but have several others to choose from as well (AKG, Sennheiser, EV, Sony, CAD, Shure, Crown). All of the audio hardware (computers, hard drive arrays, expansion units, fans, etc.) is isolated in our machine room to keep the audio control room quiet and noise free. A few minor updates have been installed in the sound booth as well, including better timecode monitoring integration.
