Studio Network Solutions “EVO”
Storage in the recording studios is provided by a Studio Network Solutions “EVO” system. This is a 32TB hardware RAID media grade storage system which allows us to provide each student with 30GB of storage. This storage space is available anywhere on the studio network, which means that it is not necessary to transfer projects between studios as they are always available from any control room you wish to use.
This storage is fast enough to work from, and so is used for all recording and playback tasks as well as providing access to lesson materials and sample material for mixing practice.
