Frei Audio Tonstudio Celebrates 15 Years With New Nuage System
After 15 years of success in the Austrian post-production industry, Frei Audio Tonstudio has celebrated by making a major investment in a brand new mixing system. The studio’s existing system was centred on a Yamaha DM2000 digital mixer and Steinberg’s Nuendo DAW, so a Yamaha Nuage system was the obvious upgrade.
Based in Klagenfurt, Frei Audio is a full service studio that has built an excellent reputation as a post-production facility for film and TV production, as well as composing and producing music for commercials and movies. With recent projects including highly acclaimed documentary features Bauer Unser and Streif - One Hell Of A Ride, as well as the film Mount St. Elias, the studio features exceptional acoustics, surround monitoring, ADR facilities, audio over ISDN / IP and many years of combines expertise in all aspects of audio production.
The Yamaha DM2000 mixer had given flawless service since the studio opened, but after 15 years studio owner Andreas Frei was keen to upgrade the facilities.
“As well as using the DM2000, we have centred our work around Steinberg Nuendo for a number of years,” he says. “Nuage was on our watch list from the day it was released, because we knew it would be a logical step when the time came to upgrade.”
Supplied by Toni Kindler of Yamaha’s Austrian Nuage partner KS-Music, the system comprises a master and fader unit for delivering Frei Audio’s full range of services. The installation was overseen by Peter Moritz of professional media specialists Pomtec.
“Working with Nuage is a pleasure. It feels like a real console, you can make artistic decisions intuitively while using it and it definitely improves our sound,” Andreas continues. “We are really looking forward to using the system on forthcoming projects in our 16th year and beyond."
