Timbaland is a single of the most significant names in 21st-century pop production, owning worked with an all-star cast of artists that incorporates everybody from Drake and Jay-Z to Björk, Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Beyoncé.
We picture that the everyday living of a globe-renowned super-producer is a really chaotic a single, so probably it should not arrive as a surprise that Timbaland wants to be in a position to make songs although on the move. For most of us, that might suggest using an OP-1 and a pair of headphones on the coach, but Timbaland is getting cell audio-generating to a complete new stage.
His $1.3million tour bus is entirely kitted out with a professional-quality recording studio, pictured below. Developed by Vulcan Coaches and Pro Audio Nerds, the bus-primarily based studio features customized-built, soffit-mounted Augspurger monitors (engineered and equipped with the supervision of George Augspurger himself, we’re instructed) and two Genelec 7380A subwoofers, together with a humble pair of KRK VXT4s for extra light-weight mixing duties.
The totally soundproofed, home-within-a-home cell studio is centred close to an SSL Matrix console, which is hooked up to an SSL 24-in/24-out interface and 7 SSL XLogic X-Racks populated by SSL pre-amp, EQ and compressor modules. You can find also a soundproofed vocal booth on board, equipped with a gold-plated Neumann U87 microphone. All of this is working into Professional Tools. We are unable to very make out exactly what the three synths/controllers are on possibly side – if you imagine you’ve got received an plan, drop us an e mail.
As you can see in the movie higher than, the bus is outfitted with headphone controls and mic inputs equipped immediately adjacent to the passenger seat, so Timbo can quite practically history on-the-go.
