Evolving to inspire
\n<\/strong>Initially opened in 2007, Sweetwater Studios has built its reputation as an artist-friendly creative clubhouse due to its unique mixture of old-school feel and new-school appointments. Its versatile staff of skilled engineers and session musicians and vast treasure trove of musical equipment have made it the studio of choice for a diverse collection of big-name artists including Bootsy Collins, Anthrax, Jared James Nichols, Will Lee, Billy Cobham, Russ Taff, Eric Johnson, Beth Hart, Vinnie Colaiuta, JD Simo and We Came As Romans. The studio is expanding the expressive feel of the complex, without losing what made them special to begin with.\u00a0 \u201cWe wanted to find ways to continue doing what we\u2019ve always done \u2014 but better!\u201d says Sweetwater Studios Producer\/Engineer Shawn Dealey. \u201cWhat that means for us in a practical sense is making upgrades that will enhance the studio and make it an even more creative and inspiring place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the center of these upgrades is Studio A\u2019s new Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Analog Mixing Console. The 32-input console, fully-loaded with Rupert Neve Designs 5052 Mic Preamp & Inductor EQ and 5051 Inductor EQ & Compressor modules, brings high-end analog sound and hands-on control to the recording experience \u2014\u00a0 elements that have been signatures of Sweetwater Studios\u2019 artist-focused workflow since its inception. \u201cHaving a tactile experience means that we can grab an EQ or fader and stay focused on the music and the creative process,\u201d explained Dealey. \u201cMost people associate digital with convenience, but this analog workflow actually makes mixes come together much faster. The sheer musicality of the console makes our job much easier and more enjoyable, and the results more meaningful for the artists that we work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

The studio staff took the opportunity to upgrade the entire wiring infrastructure of the studio. With the help of JUMPERZ AUDIO, all of Sweetwater\u2019s studios were outfitted with new wall plates and all new mic, line speaker and instrument cabling from the Pontiac, Michigan-based company. \u201cThis allowed us to create a streamlined workflow to access and connect all our spaces and equipment in Studios A, B and C.\u00a0 Utilizing Avid MTRX converters in all three rooms gives us unrivaled connectivity and expansion. This was a great opportunity to evolve how we do things at Sweetwater Studios,\u201d said Dealey. \u201cBy having all of our most inspirational pieces of equipment seamlessly integrated, we can focus entirely on making music with the finest possible ingredients at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

With additional upgrades on the way, including a Dolby ATMOS 9.1.4 system in Studio B for immersive audio production, Sweetwater Studios continues to grow its production capabilities and looks to inspire the next generation of artists. \u201cWe believe in the power of music, and understand how important the feel of the studio is to the creative process,\u201d said Dealey. \u201cGiven that, we\u2019re always looking towards the horizon of how we can make the studios more welcoming, creative, and comfortable for the artists that we love to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSweetwater Studios is a place where musical creativity has no boundaries,\u201d he concluded. \u201cWhere the only limit is the artist\u2019s imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n
