Equipment News
To better serve our orchestral clients, Ocean Way Nashville has recently added new orchestra chairs that are a wonderful improvement over the old folding (squeaky)ones.
Additionally , we recently acquired a pair of Sennheiser MKH800 microphones that are a staple among scoring engineers.
New baffles are in design stages and we think they will be a great reinvention of this often overlooked but very important element in large format studios.
The new Ocean Way cue boxes are now in service, created by our own Sal Greco and built in-house. Paired with the Crown D series amps, our cue system boasts unparalleled performance and clarity. We believe that if a musician can be inspired by what they hear in the phones, they will play inspired parts.
Also added to studio A, a pair of JBL JRX 100 speakers for studio playback.

Michael W Smith Brings Stars To Ocean Way for Haiti

The morning started with a 220 voice children’s choir. Throughout the day artists came and went as they added their parts to the recording. In the evening an adult choir was assembled for more overdubs. The song entitled “Come Together Now” was done with all services donated and all proceeds to go to two relief efforts in Haiti.
