THE OFFICES AND STUDIOS OF
INTEGRITY MUSIC

Studio

Integrity Music's recording studios were established in 1992 to help Integrity with the production of its many products. The Studio's main focus has been post production. Since most of Integrity's projects are live praise and worship events, we don't do a lot of the actual recording here. Instead, the recordings are done at the actual live event or at studios near the event. We take the tapes and mix them down to a digital stereo format. They are then mastered and sent to the duplicators, who then mass produce them and package them in the final form.

Integrity currently has two rooms that are full mixing suites. Studio A houses an SSL 6000E 48 with G+ automation, a Studer A827 analog 24-track machine, Genelec 1031A monitor speakers, 32 tracks of ADAT digital tape recorders, Protools III, and out board processing equipment by Summit, Tube Tech, Urei, DBX, Aphex, Lexicon, Roland, API, GML, Yamaha, Eventide, AMS, T.C. Electronics, and Alesis.

Studio B is similarly equipped except that the console is a Euphonix C2000 with 56 faders and the 24-track machine is an Otari MX90II.

Both rooms are state of the art and fully equipped. However, the Euphonix console is our main focus in terms of building for the future. Its full featured automation, sonic quality, and flexible architecture make it a superior mixing form with room to grow.

In both rooms, we have the option of mixing to analog two track with Dolby SR or to DAT through Lexicon 20/20 A to D converters.

We've also been expanding our Protools systems over the past two years. We have several plugins, including D-Verb, L-1, and Q-10. In conjunction with Sound Designer II and Master List, we now burn our own PMCD masters on a Yamaha CD recorder. These are used to press the CD glass masters.

We also have a third room that has several functions. It contains a bank of Panasonic 3900 DAT machines that we use to make dubs of masters for our international distributors. It also contains a small midi studio with Studio Vision, Protools, Sample Cell, a Kurzweill PC88 and several sound modules. With the ADAT Protools interface, we can do drum replacement, pitch correction, and keyboard overdubs, which can greatly service the mixes going on in the other rooms.

Another useful addition for us this year has been the installation of ISDN lines and a codec by Telos called a Zypher. With it we can send digital audio signals in real time over the phone lines to other studios. One of our producers in Nashville also has one, and this has enabled us to remain involved with our projects while they are in production. For example, while Alicia's album, The Rescue, was being mixed in Nashville, the producer was able to mix a song, and then send the mix via ISDN, which we recorded on DAT. Our A&R guy could listen to the song, then make comments on the spot, and changes could be made immediately. No more overnight packages and waiting days for everyone to hear a mix---it's like being able to FAX a mix.

Integrity Music has been very involved with video in the past few years. In light of that, we are planning to expand our facilities to include video post production. We have done some audio post production for several of our video projects here. In 1997, we also hope to add a non linear on line edit suite.

Some of the artists we have been able to record and/or mix here are Don Moen, Marty Nystrom, John Chisum, TRUTH, 4Him, Jodi Benson and Chris Christensen.
