‘A Place Called World’ Selects Avid S3L-X for On-Set PA Mixing and Broadcast Recording

Call & Play, proveedor de servicios de audio para el programa ‘Un lugar llamado mundo’, ha apostado por un sistema de mezcla Avid S3L-X y Pro Tools 11 para la mezcla de sonido en plató, así como para la grabación de audio para emisión de este popular programa, emitido por Canal+ y LaSexta.

The binomial Avid S3L-X and Pro Tools, systems that Neotecnica markets in Spain, have shown excellent quality and maximum versatility in the program A place called world, broadcast by Canal+ and LaSexta in Spain, which Call & Play has been selected as a sound mixing system on set and for audio recording for broadcast.

The format, which has become the musical phenomenon of the moment due to its quality programming, has been created by San Miguel and has the musician and producer Javier Limón as presenter.

The recording of each program has an audience that watches the performances live, enjoying a rich and dynamic sound thanks to the live mix carried out with the S3L-X system, which in turn is connected to a computer with Pro Tools 11 through a simple Ethernet cable, and is responsible for recording the audio for the subsequent broadcast of the program, with a high level of quality.

A second Engine E3 connects to the system, also via Ethernet, forming a redundant ring and allowing the connection of a second computer with Pro Tools for backup recording.

Como explica José de la Torre, responsable de Call & Play Pro Audio, empresa proveedora de servicios de sonido y backline para el programa, “el sistema S3L-X es en cada momento lo que el usuario quiere que sea. Si uno necesita una solución de mezcla de pequeño formato, con 16 entradas remotas, basta llevar un Engine E3, una superficie de control S3 y un módulo de escenario Stage 16, todo ello fácilmente transportable por una persona. Si hacen falta más entradas remotas, hasta un total de 64, se añaden más módulos Stage16. Si uno quiere grabar la actuación, sólo se necesita un ordenador portátil con un Pro Tools 11 Native y conectarlo a la S3L-X con un cable Ethernet, sin interfaces ni módulos adicionales. Todo esto, además, con una calidad de sonido propia de mesas de gran formato, e incluso con las mezclas más complejas”.

In addition, after the performance, it is possible to edit and mix the recorded material using the S3 surface, separate from the rest of the elements of the S3L-X system, as it is also an advanced Eucon controller for Pro Tools and major audio workstations.
