A hardware interface between your 24-track analog recorder and A/D converters, it incorporates a VST plugin for controlling the recorder to follow your DAW tracking operations. Audio recorded through the record-repro loop of the recorder is returned to the DAW with the correct time stamp so that the ‘analog’ tracks line up accurately in the project.” Fairlight Pyxis Multitrack Recorder/HD VTR www.fairlightau.com “Powered by Fairlight’s CC-1 Crystal Core technology, the Pyxis-MT records to 96 tracks of Josephson C720 Variable Pattern Condenser Microphone Josephson C720 www.josephson.com Variable Pattern “This latest Series Condenser Microphone Seven microphone by Josephson offers very nice capsules in one mic with separate outputs.
