ART Studio Tour
The ultimate aerial shot of the studios and consol - Gunter tells us that "this whole concept now fulfills Michael's dream of having the channel controls on both side of the consol". Gunter also adds that "this system was specially designed and tailored for Michael's production procedures, and contains no mechanical patch bays or visible cables". Cretu adds to these comments that "I was very impressed with how co-operative Mega Audio (the German AMEK DMS distributor) were, and of course the mixing desk was very important to me as a producer". "But as a musician I was asking them to add a master keyboard to there latest pride and joy, and I am sure that thought I was completely mad or something". Whether they did or not, matters none as you can see the finished product. Michael says "I can now quickly program and mix from the same place, and that's why I needed to have a built in master keyboard as 80% of what I do is keyboard based".
