The SSL300 and C10 consoles, driving force in Creative Sound post-production projects

Creative Sound accomplishes all your recording dialogue, sound effects, Foley and music for projects in 7.1, 5.1, Dolby surround and stereo with ease through SSL consoles.

The Parisian post-producer Creative Sound, focused on the film and television production markets, has increased its facilities with three Solid State Logic C300 HD Master Studio Systems y una C10 HD.

Creative Sound is a large-scale, multi-suite, full-service post production facility equipped to rival any in the world. The studio and its team have won numerous awards at Cannes and other European film festivals for European film projects and enjoy a long history of creating French-language versions of international films, including such recent projects as The King's Speech, Diana, Homefront and August: Osage County, as well as upcoming releases Selfie y Gemma Boveri. Creative Sound accomplishes all your recording dialogue, sound effects, Foley and music for projects in 7.1, 5.1, Dolby surround and stereo with ease through SSL consoles.

“We've been using SSL consoles with great success since we opened,” says Cristinel Sirli, owner/engineer at Creative Sound. "We continue to install several SSL consoles because they are reliable, offer innovative technology and have the best sound quality in the industry. The after-sales service has also been great. SSL fully stands behind their products with immediate support, and that is essential for an operation as busy as Creative Sound. As soon as our customers see the SSL name, they know that we deliver a superior product."

Creative Sound has recently installed its third C300 HD, using the console line in its two Auditorio Cinema studios, which have Dolby Digital Cinema 7.1 capability as well as the Auditorio B studio, which focuses on fiction and documentary production for television. “Creative Sound chose the C300 HD because the platform offers the audio fidelity and processing power of an SSL digital audio console along with the comprehensive multi-format monitoring and multi-system machine control we need,” says Sirli.

"The C300 gives us advanced integration with our Pyramix and Pro Tools systems right on the console surface, allowing us to focus our energy on the project and not the technology. Running a major post production facility that attracts several of the largest film and television projects is always a challenge. The C300 offers a level of quality and workflow enhancement that is simply not available on other consoles or control surfaces, and we use it as a creative tool to exceed our clients' expectations and meet our customers' expectations. project deadlines,” says Sirli.

A C10 HD has become the console of choice for Creative Sound's new era of Foley and ADR, representing the first application of its kind for the compact broadcast console. Once again, the sound signature played a part in the decision, as did the physical size of the C10. “SSL's C10 HD was the perfect console for its ergonomics, audio quality and efficiency in our new Foley/ADR scenario,” Sirli continues. "We've built a new facility for the C10, and while we love the AWS 900 we have for our existing ADR room, we liked the idea of ​​a digital console, and that led us to the C10. The console fits our size requirements and can be expanded if needed."
