I’ve always taken clocking technology very seriously. Two years ago I installed the Trinity in my mobile recording system based on DiCiGo SD8 with D-rack, a 96 I/O ProTools-system and a collection of the greatest microphones of all time.
Earlier this year Antelope and SLSX gave me the 10M to test. My first reaction was: “what the **** is happening!!!” I had no EQ’s and the sound was noticeably more “open”. I took the 10M unit on three separate occasions to evaluate different sessions, and every time the conclusion was same – Less EQ processing needed. After the last test, I took the 10M/Trinity to my mixing setup. I changed the system clock in the middle of the mixing session. The difference was very audible; the sound was more detailed, transparent and three-dimensional. Mixing is much easier with this clock – especially vocals are more “in your face”. I even made a blind test with my client and he told me exactly the same things that I first noticed.
Especially in classical music sessions, my setup sounds more transparent. A few weeks ago, a well-known Finnish conductor Okko Kamu came to the studio to listen to a 5.1-roughmix from a concert I recorded. He said, “the recording is done very well and the sound is great”. I said, “There is no EQ’s or any other processing in it; I haven’t done anything yet”, “Do not change anything, this is ready!” he commented.
Now I have a very accurate system, wherever I’m recording or mixing, the 10M/Trinity-combo is always there for me.
