Hybrid Studios

This is how I'd describe the way the studio is set up. At one end of the spectrum of studio design is an all-analogue set-up which is the classic appearance seen in virtually all commercial studios, starting in the 60's.

At the other (more contemporary) end of the spectrum the studio is totally digital, with all operations conducted within the computer.

A hybrid set up, as in this studio, combines the two. This combines the convenience and benefits of the digital computer domain with the musicality, convenience and analogue loveliness of the analogue world. The hybrid studio, as here, will have various analogue outboard gear which are physical bits of kit in racks. These complement the software plugins of the computer. Best of both worlds!
