He continued: "I took a big risk with the D5, because we are the first user in Japan. But it has many advantages such as fantastic sound quality, clear sound image, easy operation and a variety of dynamics that analogue consoles do not have - this made it an easy choice. After extensively using the D5 in many applications, I feel it is the number one digital mixing system. Its many mechanical, electronic and software features place it way ahead of anything else available today."
TryAudio also took delivery of a DiGiTracs hard disk multi-track recorder to develop a new market for live concert recording in Japan. "Not only does it make recording 56 tracks of live material easy and convenient by way of two BNC MADI cables," commented Azuma. "It also provides additional, and invaluable, audio reference points during system set up and sound check."
TryAudio provides services to major Japanese tours and festivals, and to major international artists such as Jamiroquai, Fat Boy Slim, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Oasis, amongst others.
