Sonnox and METAlliance Rock Avatar Studios in NYC

Free Native Sonnox Essential at “In Session with The Guys”

Sonnox is supporting the METAlliance (Music Engineering and Technical Alliance) in presenting the second In Session event, February 19-20, 2011 in NYC at famed Avatar Studios. Sonnox plug-ins will be provided for sessions and attendees who register by January 18 will be eligible to win a Native Sonnox Essential bundle, an approximately $900 value.

METAlliance co-founder George Massenburg commented, “Sonnox plugs combine innovative engineering and design and flawless execution. They go to extraordinary lengths to provide plugs that are always reliable.”

METAlliance co-founder Ed Cherney added, “I won’t go into a mixing session without my Sonnox plugs. The Inflator let’s me make loud refs for my clients, without ruining my hard fought balances. The reverbs are rich, deep and clear. The EQ is always pristine and

phase coherent. Great tools that I always rely on.”

“In Session with The Guys” attendees will participate and interact with the METAlliance founders in live recording and mixing sessions. The first artist announced for the Avatar sessions is jazz luminary Kat Edmonson.

The inaugural 2010 METAlliance event in Hollywood at the historic studios in the Capitol Records tower gave participants a close-up look at basic tracking and mic techniques; in separate mixing sessions they were presented with the processes in significant detail and experienced in-depth critical listening.

Sonnox Ltd. evolved out of Sony Oxford, designer of the famed OXF-R3 Digital Mixing Console, commonly called ‘the Oxford Console’. The Native Sonnox Essential bundle includes Oxford EQ, Oxford Dynamics, Oxford Reverb, and Oxford DeEsser.
