• b. The Team

The basic team of studio19 is a production group based on new technologies using the infrastructure of their place as their basic instrument. They also use a versatile, portable digital sound & multimedia system. This system can be transferred easily outside the studio for meeting the needs of various creative applications. The basic idea of the way the studio19st functions is not to be restricted to the tools of the Studio, nor to specific technologies. The sound system as a whole in combination with the equipment (hardware & software) used for multimedia is considered as a special instrument, which creates the capability to produce in many different ways allowing experimentation and productivity in a well balanced situation.

Basic description Practically there are three totally independent-parallel workspaces, based on digital workstations with multi-level orientation of applications. Control Room No1 is mainly

• rientated towards music and sound production for several uses. Control Room No2 is mainly
• rientated to Digital Video in co-operation with the "creative production of sound" and multi-
• media. Room No3 is mainly orientated for the use of recording from the two control rooms as

well as the installation of the portable digital sound system, which converts it into a fully functional Project Studio (& Control Room). This room can be used of course for special audio & multimedia-installations rehearsals.

Sound system of control room No1 The sound system of control room No1 is the main system for sound control in Studio 19. Its design and its construction meet the specifications required for providing optimal conditions for auditions even on a 24 hour basis. The soundproofing construction (room-into-room construction) allows loud auditions even at late hours. Its acoustics provide good conditions for sound engineering & for mixing sound materials. The main design for the tasks that can be carried out, comprises all activities besides the standart ones i.e. sound engineering, montage, mix and mastering. Therefore, it can be used as a project studio and as search & development lab in various sound applications. The basic idea of the way the space functions is not to be restricted on the tools of the Studio, nor on specific technologies. The sound system as a whole is considered as musical multi- instrument providing the opportunity of creating in many and different ways sounds-music. The basic aim of design regarding the production of sound is to comprise as many different ways as possible as well as working techniques.

Control Room No2 Video & Multimedia system In this room is placed the intranet-internet equipment: Server,ISDN Router,modem,fast ethernet switch,Lan P.B. Four computers: One Main PC, two Apple computers and one server PC. Digital Video Station:Based on Apple Mac with USB & Firewire ports, Monitors, with PCI card transcoder “Digital Media Press” witch converts DV to MPEG2 & MPEG2 to DV with firewire I/O & high speed transfers. Two video decks:JVC HR DVS1(double player with DV-SVHS-VHS format) & JVC HR8500 Two digital video cameras JVC DV1(mini DV) & Sony digital Hi8 One DVD Player Pioneer DV-626D with Dolby digital & Dts decoder (96kHz-24bit convertor) One Audio-Video Sony Amplifier with multi channel-surround decoder & digital sound processing Two Syncronizers: Unitor 8 (with LTC,VITC.MIDI Sync) & dataMaster (ADAT-MIDI-LTC Sync) Multichannel Audio Systems:ADAT(8track) One DAT audio DAP-1 Tascam,Cassete recorder Teac V377 Analog Mixer (20-4(+4)-2) Mac Software:Final cut, Premier,imovie,Media cleaner,Digital Media Press,iDVD,Final Cut Pro,DVD Studio Pro Main PC Multimedia station:Web Deesign,Flash,Dream weaver,Fireworks,Photoshop,Ilustrator,Director Sound System of Control Room No2 The sound system of control room No2 can function autonomously like a control room based

• n a digital workstation Mac (or PC) with an analog sound console. Its basic use is

multimedia production in relation to sound. The overall design for the tasks that can be carried out includes tasks besides the standard ones. It can also be used as a project studio in various designs in combination with multimedia and video. The existing equipment supports basically the digital sound technology. The space communicates in terms of sound with control room No1 and No2 allowing the use of other sound systems, which are not in the same space. There is also the possibility to monitor the sound of this system in control room No1, which has good acoustics. Besides the digital workstation in Mac there are two more computer systems, which can either autonomously or in combination function like Digital Audio work stations (DAW). The

• ne system is based on the main PC of sound and another Mac.

The basic idea of the way the space functions is not to be restricted to the tools of the Studio, nor to specific technologies. The sound system as a whole in combination with the equipment used for digital video is considered as a multi-media instrument, which creates the capability to produce in many different ways material for providing the opportunity of creating complex materials –audio & video- which their synthesis allows experimentation and more specific results.

Room No3 This space is used for different working tasks: Recordings from both control rooms (1&2),monitor of image and sound (surround),working tasks in the portable sound system, which are located in this space, rehearsals, trials. In this room there is a big tv set and a video projector used for video monitor. There is also a series of loud speakers (X12) for different uses. There are also storage spaces and there has been an effort, after the last reconstruction, to enhance the acoustics with the addition of a series of mobile panels, which on the one side are reflexive and on the other hand

• soundproofing. There are also from previous constructions, pending roof panels, which can

be placed in any place of the room to create soundproofing areas. There is also a special place and infrastructure for the installation of the portable sound

• system. This consists of a working place from the one side of the room, on which the system

can be installed both physically and electronically, creating a "light" control room. This room can be used for recording purposes, using as a recording room control room No1 &N4. Furthermore, it can be used as a project studio, for pre-production or in combination with the rest of the spaces as it communicates in terms of sound, electronically and through the local intranet.

Studio 19 Portable system of sound (or Studio 19 Sound Projection System) This system could be described as a portable multi-instrument which can be used for the production and execution of sound installations-performances-concerts. This system is classified in two Modes 1) Mode of creation of sounds and syntheses. 2) Mode of "Installation" & performance of materials - "live" in public places. Basically, it could be said that this means the communication of Studio19 production line with performance spaces. The materialization of this plan is based on new technologies which give us the

• pportunity to design a "light", versatile & portable system of relatively low cost, which

can be combined with other systems, too, either in concerts or in installations or in external recordings, or even like a small portable studio, which can undertake a whole production on its own. This idea of course is not limited in the various tools it consists of, nor of particular tech’ but on the possibility of utilising capabilities in combination with knowledge and clear perception of purpose and goals.
