Midas Studios in Brazil, one of the first to install the Duality Delta SSL

Duality provides new control possibilities, improving performance and accelerating all aspects of recording and mixing.

Midas Studios in São Paulo, owned by Rick Bonadio, has become one of the first studios to install Solid State Logic's new Duality Delta console.

The console will be used for large-scale audio production in Studio 2 and will join two other SSL consoles; an AWS 948 Analog System workstation and a classic 4048 G+ Special Edition.

Midas has recorded albums by Latin American artists such as multi-platinum rock bands Mamonas Assassinas, Titãs, NX Zero and Charlie Brown Jr.; the pop singer Luiza Possi; the sertanejo duo Fernando e Sorocaba; guitarist and composer Andreas Kisser; as well as the young musician and actor Mika Borges.

Bonadio, a longtime music executive with the Virgin Records and Universal Music labels, as well as a producer, engineer and songwriter, uses the Duality for the recording and mixing projects of his label, Midas Music, as well as for commercial purposes by all clients of the four-room facility. “I wanted to have another great SSL,” he says of the Duality, which replaced a console from another manufacturer. “I love the SSL sound: I've been using the 4048 G+ for almost 20 years, so the Duality was the logical choice.”
