Pinch Recording has installed a fully-loaded, automated 32-channel API desk at its New York City studio space – the first studio in NYC to purchase and install a 2448 console.
With the sale facilitated by Vintage King, the new console joins the studio’s Avid Pro Tools 12 HDX and Logic Pro X recording systems, Barefoot Sound MM27 Gen 2 and Focal CMS40 monitoring, and extensive collection of vintage and modern outboard and mics.
‘The API 2448 does not disappoint,’ reports studio owner and engineer, Scott Lindner. ‘The console provides exactly what you are after with API products – punchy low end and a beautiful, smooth texture that wraps you up in a warm sonic blanket of goodness. It provides such routing flexibility with the eight buses, four stereo returns, and small fader paths that it is the perfect console for the modern age.’
‘As a company, API is gratified by the continuing success of the 2448 console,’ says API President, Larry Droppa. ‘Commercial studios like Pinch Recording deserve the best in analogue gear, and API is happy to provide it.’
