In The Future
We plan on installing an alternate stereo monitoring system using dynaudio speakers. These would be used for music sessions or when alternating to Stereo monitoring for checking 5.1mixes in stereo format. The dynaudio speakers are very high quality so they will be a great addition to the studio.
Additionally sometime this year we would like to upgrade our computer to a M1/M2 Mac as software/hardware is slowly being made obsolete for our 10 year old MacPro!
