Pepper’s Recorder Finds Fame Studer has loaned an original J37 multi-track recorder used on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band for a Fab Four exhibit in The Rock & Roll Hal l of Fame and Museum in NYC. www.studer.ch NEW PRODUCT Waves The Jack Joseph Puig Collection Waves has collaborated with GRAMMY award-winning producer Jack Joseph Puig (U2, Sheryl Crow, Rolling Stones) to produce The Jack Joseph Puig Collection of plug-ins based on some of the most sought-after vintage pieces of outboard gear around. Working in Puig’s personal recording space within Los Angeles’ legendary Ocean Way Recording Studios, Waves’ R&D team painstakingly analysed and modelled each processor’s attributes, replicating its sound to the point where the software is virtually indistinguishable from hardware – according to Waves. The resulting PuigChild 660 & 670 Compressor/Limiter purportedly captures every nuance of Puig’s Fairchild 670, featuring Lateral Vertical Mode for Optimal Stereo Imaging; Linked and Unlinked modes; ICON support; (up to) 24-bit/192kHz resolution; plus TDM, RTAS, VST, and AU support. The PuigTec EQP-1A represents a recreation of Puig’s handcrafted Pultec EQP-1A, featuring resonant low-shelf boost; Digidesign ICON support; up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution; mono and stereo components; plus TDM, RTAS, VST, and AU support. Finally, the midrange PuigTec MEQ-5 also includes Digidesign ICON support; up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution; mono and stereo components; plus TDM, RTAS, VST, and AU support. For his part, Puig concluded: “There are fewer and fewer examples of these heirloom processors for artists, engineers, or producers to have access to; now, through the Waves Puig Collection, users around the world have the beautiful benefit of actually being able to use a piece of equipment that they might never have had the opportunity to work with. In a way, we are helping to preserve a piece of audio history.” Sonic Distribution +44 (0)845 500 2500 www.sonicdistribution.com Waves +1 865 909 9200 www.waves.com PRODUCT UPDATE Lynx AES16e, AES16e-SRC Lynx Studio Technology is shipping its AES16e and AES16e-SRC PCI Express PCI Express digital audio interfaces, the former providing 16 channels of 24-bit AES/EBU digital audio at 192kHz sample rate in both single-wire and dual-wire AES modes, while the latter provides 16 channels of sample rate conversion.
