NATICK, MA, May 24, 2010 — New York-based production and broadcast service provider Metrovision’s HD-1 remote production truck has recently been a fixture for the audio production of high-profile events. In just the first few months of 2010, it has been a key part of the sound production for numerous events. Highlights have included comedian/commentator Bill Maher’s recent HBO special; Yoko Ono’s “We Are Plastic Ono Band” 77th birthday celebration concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (featuring Eric Clapton); the Winter Olympics in Vancouver; on site in Tampa Bay, Florida, for the New York Yankees’ spring training season broadcast on the YES network; the Yankees in Boston playing against the Red Sox, for a Japanese NHK broadcast; the 2010 NBC Upfront presentation; and NYU’s graduation ceremony at Yankee Stadium. Aboard the HD-1, all reference audio is done via 8020A Bi-Amplified Active Monitors from Genelec, the pioneer in Active Monitoring technology for three decades. More...

NATICK, MA, May 18, 2010 — Eric Silver shows just how global a Nashville music professional can go. Silver is well known in Music City as a producer and multi-instrumentalist – guitar, mandolin, violin, banjo, bass and piano – on tour and on tracks for artists including Keith Urban, Cyndi Lauper, Shania Twain and Victor Wooten, and as an award-winning composer on over 15 million albums sold, penning hits for artists like The Dixie Chicks, Diamond Rio and Michelle Wright. But he has also created a parallel career as a solo artist and music producer in Brazil, where his forthcoming album is set to join his international discography, which already encompasses over 70 of his songs cut by Brazilian artists, including the million-selling acts Rouge and Nathália Siqueiria, and recording projects with pop-rock sensations NXO and Titas and Brazilian rapper Tulio Dek. With such a diverse skill set and workload, Silver needed monitors that would give his personal studio the ultimate degree of accuracy. He found exactly what he was looking for in the award-winning Genelec 8250A Bi-Amplified DSP Active Monitoring System. Genelec’s acclaimed AutoCal™ automated calibration system and Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™) control network allowed Silver to tune his room like never before. More...

Brighton-based three-piece The Qemists began working together in a touring rock band in the late 90s, but developed a taste for drum n bass, touring and playing rock by day, while producing drum n bass and DJing by night. The trio were given their first break when Ninja Tune released their remix of Coldcut’s Everything Is Under Control.
The raucous blending of rock riffs with drum n bass brought the group to the attention of international DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Andy C and resulted in Pendulum adding the group to their Radio 1 Essential Mix.

Liam Black, one third of The Qemists, has recently added a pair of Genelec 6010A Active Loudspeakers to his home studio setup, along with a 5040A subwoofer: “We’ve got a complex of two studios, in a big industrial unit, but we’re used to having our home setups and I realised I needed something to monitor with at home,” says Liam.
