Moving into Film 

We've just started ADR work on "The Fear of Dreaming", a great independent film.

It's an exciting new avenue for us and we're looking forward to watching the finished product. Working with the audio attached to moving images lets us stretch our knowledge and techniques in a new direction, which always keeps us striving for new levels of quality in our productions.

 

Jazz For Life hits iTunes 

Jazz For Life, a CD Oakstone helped create with Tom and Marie Lott to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis research has made its way onto iTunes!

Gear Upgrades 

We've recently upgraded our I/O system to include a second HD192 unit. That means that we can handle 24 tracks of simultaneous I/O and mix through either our DP7 box or our Ghost console.

The change opens up some options for people who want to do mixes on our analog console, which provides different tonal characteristics from mixing "in the box".
