FUTURE PERFECT — MOLINARE & HHB ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
Atmos Sound Stage 1
without the cognitive barriers that different light sources create. Critically it makes the sign off and turn-around as efficient as possible when audio and picture can be worked on together at the same time.
INSIDER KNOWLEDGE JD Having the Avid integrated approach to workflow - when bringing in pre-mixing, final mixing and deliverables across different shows – is a priority. We have to be able to open up sessions in different rooms. Everything is done in Avid ProTools so it makes sense to have the Avid S Series consoles as an extension of that system with a continuity of development across hardware and software. When we’re running at speed with late nights and weekends to turn projects around, it reduces the margin for workflow error. It’s mission critical. Added to which, the familiarity with the Avid layout and the labelling is universal (‘preview, punch preview, capture…’). It’s all cognitively in tune. We scoped the room from
scratch. HHB always has its finger on the pulse of the latest industry trends. John Johnson, HHB’s CTO (JJ) showcased the kit and
monitoring, discussed the room set up and gave us a preview of what was coming out to support Atmos from Avid, including how it could improve our workflow. When JJ recommends something, we always listen. It only takes a few months to be out of date, so we always listen to the experts. For example, we have a small
sound design room where we also do QC work on the main mix metadata. We don’t want to take up a finishing suite for this work. JJ showed us the Dolby Vision Atmos Mastering Plug In before release. It made a critical difference in our planning and allowed us to fulfil QC and sound design in the smaller room and be able to accurately translate the work into the main room. This is a major benefit. Another example is the new
module risers we have on the Avid S6 console. Before you couldn’t clearly see the values. With the risers, the information’s visible and you don’t have to keep on leaning forward. In terms of ergonomics and efficiencies, the mixers love them. We had the first ones installed in in the UK. Everyone’s very impressed. HHB are the go-to industry experts. Everyone in high-end
audio respects HHB; nothing is ever an issue and in terms of knowledge base, they are by far the best informed. You can go to the HHB Tech Support Team with any challenge or problem, it’s as if they act as an extension of our engineering team. It is never just price. When you’re getting everything supplied, it’s good to have a company to reach out to and solve any issues.
BEST IN CLASS JD To be best in class, you need best in class advice and you need best in class technology support. We’re delivering some of the

very best drama in the world to top-end studios. The streamers want the best content on their platforms and the only way they can do that is by having the best creative staff on hand. The only way we can be consistent in our delivery is by having the very best rooms and best workflow possible. We’ve just built two of the best mixing rooms anywhere in the world. The support and advice we’ve had from HHB has
installing it, turning it on and then disappearing, but the knowledge that HHB are on call when we’re turning a final mix pass and knowing we have the support, should we need, it is invaluable. We have a great in-house engineering team, but from a manager’s perspective,
sometimes I need that additional knowledge and support. I need the best engineers to come in and give us a steer. Having invested in the best possible rooms, it would be a shame not to fully support it going forward. You need the best support. You can’t have a BAFTA-winning director waiting for a fix. HHB are vital in our endeavour to be the best.
