For those of you who have been following our three year journey to build a new studio and upgrade our gear, we are pleased to announce that we have finally reached the last item on our list.

TC Electronic Mastering 6000 Debuts At Silverbirch:
Anyone who has worked in pro studios have seen TC Electronic units. Our recently purchased TC Electronic System 6000 is the flagship unit of the company. It has the best sound and the best, most complex algorithms of all the companies’ units. The TC 6000 is a “mainframe” computer, i.e., an outboard unit and therefore, like our other digital units (both Weiss units, the K-Stereo Processor and the Waves L2), operates at full capacity without depending on the power of the computer which runs our audio program.
Silverbirch has gutted its space and has built a new studio.
2003 was a really good year for our studio. Besides keeping busy serving our indie clientele, we worked on more major label projects than in past years.
