Rock Legend Peter Framptonís New DVD/HDTV Project For Image Entertainment

Rock legend Peter Frampton is set to explode onto the DVD and HDTV scene with a new live concert project for Image Entertainment. The mix for this project was performed on the 96-channel Solid State Logic Axiom-MT digital multitrack console recently installed at Backstage at Sound Stage Studios. The MT streamlined the mix to accommodate the various release formats planned for this project. ""The MT is an amazing piece of equipment,"" says Frampton. ""The console sounds great, has incredible flexibility, but, most of all, the instant reset function, allowing the entire board to be reconfigured with the push of a button, is the best feature. We had ten days to turn this project around and it could not have reached this level of excellence without the MT."" The project, recorded live at Detroit's Pine Knob Amphitheater, was captured in HDTV format for picture with multitrack audio. From there, releases were prepared for audio CD with a stereo track, DTS DVD with a 5.1 surround track only, DVD with picture and 5.1 surround track, and VHS.
