Lucid Studio Sync Generator At ZAC Recording Studios

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: With the recent addition of a Lucid GENx6-96 studio sync generator to the ProTools setup in ZAC Digital Room A, ZAC Recording Studios has considerably improved the sound of their system - and "considerably" might be an understatement. Located in bustling Atlanta, Georgia, ZAC boasts equipment rental, mastering, analog and digital recording services and is "home away from home" for some of Atlanta's most respected artists.

ZAC's owner, Jim Zumpano, had no intention of upgrading his clock generator. Like most, he had read all the articles on the advantages of this or that clock and had heard the arguments between tech-obsessed engineers. But like so much of the technical mumbo jumbo out there, he felt clock quality wouldn't amount to much in the grand scheme of things. Better to spend his day recording bands than A/B'ing digital clocks!

Based on the heartfelt conviction of a close friend however, Zumpano arranged to put a Lucid GENx6-96 up against the major competition. "We noticed an immediate difference," he reported. "It wasn't subtle at all. Everyone in the room instantly knew that the GENx6 was a vast improvement over the other leading brand. I've worked with a lot of digital audio workstations and was never convinced they could reach their potential, but with the GENx6 I think we're finally reaching that plateau." The Lucid GENx6 drives ZAC's three Digidesign 888|24 ProTools interfaces, and the USD via Digidesign's superclock format; it's one of the few synchronization devices on the market to feature superclock. The ProTools system runs 5.01 software on a Mac G4 with MixPlus24 audio cards.

"Now that I have two ProTools rooms that I'm trying to book, every sonic edge that I can provide gives me an edge," noted Zumpano. "It gets customers coming back. When asked, I tell them the GENx6 is affordable and absolutely necessary!" Atlanta production guru Rusty Cobb is one of those return customers who are enjoying the Lucid GENx6 difference. He's recorded area upstarts Grasshopper, and Cloud 10 with the new GENx6-96. Other recent users include Arrested Development's founder Speech who recently powered it up for his forth solo release on EMI/Japan.
