Studio Equipment:

Recording System:
The Millstream operates with a Pro Tools 9 HD system in conjunction with  a Ramsa DA7 digital console with 16 inputs, 32 channels, 6 aux sends with full four-band parametric EQ and dynamics (compressor, limiter, gate) on each channel.  The board is fully automated with moving faders. Automation covers faders, mutes, EQ, sends, & dynamics. All recording and some mixing is done in the Pro Tools system, but final mixes are done through the digital console leading to a more open sound than mixes done entirely "in the box".
Monitors:
Yamaha MSP10 powered monitors, Yamaha NS10 monitors, Realistic bookshelf monitors
Microphones:
Neumann TLM103  Neumann KM184 (2)  AKG C414 B-TLII AKG C414 B-ULS AKG C1000 AKG C480B (2) AKG D112 AT 4050 AT 4060 tube mic AT 4041 ATM 25 SM57 Peavy 535 Astatic dynamic	PLUS access to a wide array of vintage microphones
Preamps:
Our main mic preamps are in an eight-channel unit, the Yamaha HA8.  This unit has been completely refurbished with premium capacitors and op-amps and yields a smooth, transparent sound with incredible depth.  The Ramsa DA7 is also equipped with 8 high-quality mic pre-amps		We also have an Avalon VT737sp mic preamp equipped with compressor and 4-band EQ.  To put it simply - this unit sounds GREAT.  It's used to great effect on vocals in particular!
		The True Systems P2analog two-channel mic preamp features wonderful transparent sound with great depth and enhanced features for stereo micing.
Signal Processors:
T.C. Electronic M2000 Studio Effects Processor (great sounding hall and room reverbs!)
