Soundcraft Studer has announced that Mike Stock, one of television’s most successful audio engineers, will be on hand at the Harman booth (#C2619) at the NAB show on Wednesday, April 14 from 10 AM to 6 PM. NAB attendees are encouraged to visit the Harman booth to meet with Stock, and to see Soundcraft Studer’s latest product offerings for the broadcast industry. Stock’s visit is part of Soundcraft Studer’s “Mixing With Professionals� program, which centers around many of the industry’s most accomplished audio engineers and their experiences with Soundcraft and Studer consoles.
Stock has served as production sound mixer on a variety of television programs, including “Dr. Phil,� “The Doctors,� “The NFL on FOX,� “The Bachelor� and “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,� as well as numerous live events on the TV Guide Channel.
For “Dr. Phil,� “The Doctors� and “The NFL on FOX,� Stock mixes
the audio using a Studer Vista 8 console. “I love mixing on the Vista 8,� Stock says. “It has a very easy learning curve for such a sophisticated desk.�
According to Stock, the Vista 8’s flexibility is one of its most valuable assets. “I use the Vista 8 at Paramount Studios to mix ‘Dr. Phil’ Monday through Wednesday and mix ‘The Doctors’ on Thursday and Friday,� Stock says. “I don’t have to patch a thing when making the transition between the two shows, I simply change a title on the desk.�
The Studer Vista 8 combines powerful broadcast features with dynamic automation to offer a highly sophisticated and flexible multipurpose live broadcast desk. The Control Bay design offers 10 faders in a small footprint, making it ideal for both fixed install broadcast and OB van applications. In addition, a sophisticated snapshot system and dedicated mute groups make this also the perfect choice for fixed install live applications. The Vista 8 also incorporates the worldwide acclaimed Vistonicsâ„¢ user interface.
