Hardstudios, located in the historic buildings of a former spinning mill on the banks of the river Töss in Winterthur and one of the largest and most renowned recording studios in Switzerland, recently added a Studer Vista 8 digital console to Studio A.
The facility includes three fully equipped control rooms and studios, a minivan for mobile recordings, the HardMobil, and many other facilities have been used for productions with artists such as Züri West, Francine Jordi, Pepe Lienhard and the finalists of the Swiss TV production “Musicstars”, who have been regular visitors to the studios.
In 2006 a Vista 5 console was installed in the mobile minivan, and has shown excellent results ever since, so another Vista was chosen for installation in the largest studio. The Vistonics user concept, ergonomics, comfort, reliability and quality had been convincing factors from the start.
Sound engineers and owners Ron Kurz and Moritz Wetter report, “It’s a pleasure working with the Vista 8, not to mention the new possibilities resulting from the compatibility of the mobile Vista 5 and the installed Vista 8. With such a start, the future looks bright for more stars to come to the Hardstudios for their recordings, and their accompanying sound engineers will be just as enthusiastic.”
