They’re especially helpful in fine-tuning my style of music. I’ve used them on virtually everything I’ve done – especially vocals, and the master bus.” Sonnox Plugins +44 (0)1608 638102 www.sonnoxplugins.com CALIFORNIA Universal Audio Listens To Focal Universal Audio recently installed Focal Professional Solo6 Be monitors and an accompanying Sub6 Be in its new Scotts Valley-sited recording studio, used by the Californian high-quality audio hardware and vintage audio DSP modelling specialist as a critical listening environment for analogue hardware development, as well as regular recording duties. “I rely on our Focal system every day that a new plug-in is in development,” stated Product Manager Will Shanks. “The Focals give me instant feedback from which I can clearly show my algorithm designer firsthand where a subtle difference between the device modelled and the plug-in exists, and gives us a tangible point of reference.” SCV London +44 (0)20 8418 0778 www.scvlondon.co.uk Audio Plus Services +1 800 663 9352 www.audioplusservices.com NEW PRODUCTS Digidesign MassivePack 7, MassivePack Pro 7 Digidesign has announced availability of specially-priced MassivePack 7 (£710) and MassivePack Pro 7 (£1,920) mixing and sound processing plugin bundles for Pro Tools|HD owners, offering significant savings on eight in-demand Digidesign Development Partners’ plug-ins, plus a choice of eight more Digidesign plug-ins.
