When it opened its doors recently, Made In Memphis Entertainment (MIME) opened them on a music venture backed by Stax Records songwriter David Porter to serve not only as a studio, but also a music label, production company and publishing group. At the heart of Studio A is a 32-channel AXS analogue mixing console.
As CEO, Porter aims to revitalise the Memphis music scene by incorporating the creative principles that drove the city’s golden era of music in the 1960s-70s. The business is off to a strong start, with state of the art studios and a dedicated team.
‘The AXS has been a fantastic addition to our studio and has been a joy to track and mix on,’ says MIME Chief Engineer, Kerry Kernan. ‘I really like the way the AXS has remained truly analogue, yet the automation features can still integrate well with the modern DAW workflow. We are still discovering all of its capabilities.’
‘The legendary API sound combined with the AXS’s feature set made for an unbeatable combination for Studio A,’ Porter adds. ‘We couldn’t be happier with our new console.’
