Creative Sound order first SSL C300 digital production console

Leading post production company Creative Sound has become the first facility in Europe to order Solid State Logic’s (SSL) new C300 digital production console, which was launched in September at IBC Amsterdam.
Since its formation five years ago, Creative Sound has been providing post production services to a range of television and DVD clients from its studio complex in the 15th Arrondissement. For the last three years the facility has been using SSL’s Avant Plus technology in its main Dolby and DTS approved Theatre A.
Facility owner Cristinel Sirli says the decision to order a new C300 console was taken in response to the competitive and challenging nature of the French post production industry.
The C300 destined for Creative Sound’s Studio C has 152 inputs and outputs and is equipped with SSL’s revolutionary new Timefreeze™ automation, along with a powerful 128x8. monitoring matrix. It will be installed in January 2006.
The C300 Master Studio System integrates DAW control using techniques successfully pioneered with the AWS 900 console. This brings the workstation into the console allowing unparalleled interaction between console and DAW. Automation developed from the C200 console provides complete real and non-real time control over the console’s powerful signal processing. This allows operators to slow down fast moves to a more manageable pace, or even set-up whole scenes with the press of a locate key. This saves massive amounts of time and yet also delivers the subtle control required to satisfy the most demanding producers or directors. The C300 completes a family of digital production consoles with its sister C100 and C200 models.
The family of products encompasses a wide range of audio broadcast production solutions, e.g. on-air, live-to-tape and post production. All of these products scale to handle the largest productions and can be configured to fit tight budgets.
