Sonic Sorcery Sounds Vol.1: Bea 5
The sounds for this volume where produced in studio Bea5, the voltage controlled studio at the Institute for Sonology in The Hague, Netherlands, a modular studio with great historical value. It is fully operational, and accessible only to sonology students and sonologists. The sound of the modules in the studio is unique and many modules were built within the institute itself.
The material was recorded from the studio's patch board using an ADDA 2402 converter by Digital Audio Danmark into Protools. The results were edited and processed with a digidesign TDM mix system, and various DSP plugins.
