l. a., CA, August 24, 2021 – On learning about Flock Audio's PATCH at the 2020 NAMM exhibit ultimate 12 months, Grammy Award successful producer / engineer Tony Maserati (Gwen Stefani, Andra Day, Selena Gomez, Danna Paola), instantly noticed the capabilities of a digitally managed analog patchbay that alleviates the need for actual patching, while an providing intelligent, UI-based workflow. "as soon as I discovered that Flock Audio's device had a totally an alog sign path but is digitally managed by the computing device, i was automatically offered," he recollects. due to the fact that then, he and his team have obtained two PATCH units — both of which might be used each day in his mix classes.
For Maserati, who bounces between as many as five in growth or track begins per day, PATCH helps him immediately don't forget the selected sign chains used on each and every music: "when I open my session in seasoned equipment, provided that I've loaded it into my PATCH APP, my remember could be seamless. I in no way need to touch a patchbay or rewire," he says. This deploy increases the flexibleness of his workflow, while guaranteeing his sign chains are safely organized, says Maserati: "I on no account have to agonize. The setup in PATCH APP has the same tune-file identify as the pro-equipment ptx file. it all immediately comes up, and all I must set is the outboard apparatus. I don't compromise sonic nice nor do I spend greater than just a few mins resetting any tune don't forget within my hybrid combine device."
expanding obtainable hardwarePATCH has additionally allowed Maserati to increase the quantity of hardware he is capable of use, whereas working within the limitations of his 32-channel audio interface. "And the massive benefit is I've brought greater cool analogue apparatus to my installation, as a result of Flock Audio PATCH potential there's no everlasting chain. i will be able to create new chains with different apparatus, for every music! My 32 hardware inserts, gets accelerated by means of the variety of 'facets' I even have on my Flock PATCH community. The greater PATCH 'bays' I even have the extra gear i will include. Genius!"
whereas Flock Audio's PATCH has been a welcome addition within Maserati's workflow, it has additionally fostered advancements to his equipment infrastructure: "it is a game changer," he enthuses. "For one element, it has allowed me to do away with two 96-element patchbays, whereas enabling me so as to add machine devoid of acquiring extra traditional patchbays."
Like many others, Maserati is eagerly waiting for the coming near near PATCH XT, for you to function not less than 192 patch elements in a rugged 3U kit. "The PATCH XT will allow me to cast off all my analog patchbays, apart from the bay i exploit for my Neve sidecar which i could at last do away with as well," he says. "this fashion, all of my equipment — together with keyboards, preamps, EQs and everything else — should be on the PATCH system.
on account that his existing DAW limits his interface expansion past 32 channels and he didn't are looking to need to purchase one more interface, the addition of PATCH has ushered in a palette of routing possibilities. "I only had these 32 hardware inserts, however PATCH permits me to entry greater gear and that i can route every little thing in the PATCH APP. So now i will use a bit of equipment that probably I haven't used in several years, simply because I just didn't have a way to patch it," Maserati says.
elevated interface efficiency"With the Flock, i can now get away with having one interface," he continues. "With PATCH, clients can retailer money by means of no longer having to have one other interface, whereas nevertheless retaining all of that patchability and equipment within their present system.
Maserati's device infrastructure is extraordinarily high excellent, and he says the PATCH device's fits in seamlessly and transparently: "We integrated Neve EQs from a Neve rack, Chandler hardware together with a Zener limiter and Curve Bender, Pendulum compressors and limiters, D.W. Fearn stuff and loads of different equipment. this is all extremely wonderful apparatus going during the PATCH and all of it sounds ultimate."
ultimately, whereas traditional patchbays require an ongoing activities of disposing of dust and cleansing patch elements, all of the routing on PATCH occurs internally and is software managed. "during the past, you might ought to clear the patch facets and give the patchbay sonic bathtub every couple of years. We don't should do any of that anymore, and this kind of upkeep is not any longer required," observes Maserati.
If there is one standout advantage to Maserati for the reason that he has been using PATCH, it is corporation: "Flock Audio has gifts a modernization of an analog device that gives me stronger flexibility and a complete digital cataloging of all my projects — via song and by using equipment. The energy of this type of cataloging alone is horrifying. The PATCH device is super cool, and there are only too many decent things about it to point out."
