CHENNAI,
India – One of the world’s most respected composers, singer/songwriters,
musicians and music producers, AR Rahman recently added a HARMAN Studer Vista X
digital console to the studio of his YM Movies film production firm in Chennai,
India.
A GRAMMY®
and Academy Award® winner, AR Rahman is one of the world’s most
influential music professionals and is probably best known for his scores and
soundtracks in countless feature films, including Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours
and Jodhaa Akbar. Rahman’s
compositions are popular for their eclectic blend of musical styles and wide
range of instrumentation. To date, Rahman has sold more than 250 million albums
worldwide.
Rahman will
be using the Vista X to mix audio for the extensive variety of YM Movies
projects, as well as Rahman’s other works, including his own solo albums and
numerous humanitarian projects.
“The
console’s massive number of channels and outputs will speed up laying stems,
for big scores in particular,” Rahman said.
Speaking on
his decision to purchase the Vista X console, Rahman said it was love at first
sight. “I first saw the Vista 5 at the HARMAN store in New York City and I
loved the controls,” he noted. “I soon learned about the Vista X and had to have
it. It has a very user-friendly vibe and processing redundancy.”
In addition,
Rahman’s previous experience with other HARMAN audio equipment provided
reassurance that the Vista X would not disappoint. “When I started my
Panchathan Record Inn studios, the only speakers I had were JBL Control 5 and
4412,” Rahman said. “I am also a big fan of Lexicon reverbs as well.”
The Vista X offers an
unsurpassed intuitive user interface, retaining the patented Vistonics™ and
FaderGlow™user interface, providing control of 800 or more audio DSP
channels and more than 5,000 inputs and outputs.
At the heart of the system is the Infinity DSP core, which uses CPU-based processors to provide huge numbers of DSP channels for large-scale, high-resolution audio processing and mixing. Thanks to the Infinity core, this is the first time more than 800 audio channels have been processed in a CPU-based board. This offers significant advantages, as CPU processing provides a scalable system, faster development of new signal processing designs, huge channel counts, full system redundancy without a single point of failure and the possibility of running third-party algorithms.

“I’m using
the Vista X as a full-fledged post-production console,” he said. “Geoff Foster
from Air Studios is here mixing over 600 tracks of ProTools on it right now.”
