SPLASH! – live from the magic grounds of Ferropolis.

Once again, we were responsible for the remote broadcast #magentamusik audio production of two main stages: the Telekom Main Stage and the River Stage.

The TV compound was nestled between four simultaneously active stages – an impressive but acoustically demanding setup. Even in near-perfectly insulated OB vans, audio trucks or control booths, the intense subwoofer presence from surrounding performances made the environment challenging for precise mixing.

No matter how well you’re isolated: if you’re physically in the middle of it, maintaining focus and critical listening becomes extremely difficult – no matter if you are working with FOH L/R, stems or multitrack signals.

It’s a bit like trying to color grade a multi-camera shoot... on an outdoor terrace in bright sunlight.

Not so with our ROME process.

Our engineers at #tonstudiokrauthausen in Cologne – remotely connected with just 12 ms latency – experienced none of the spill. No distractions. No acoustic compromises. Just music. And full concentration on the mix.

ROME lets you mix and master in optimal acoustic conditions, always. The result? Better sound. Better performance. And a process that saves travel, carbon, and mental energy – while making the artist, and your work, shine.

When The Prodigy took the stage at Hurricane Festival 2025, they weren’t the only Prodigy in action.

Their spectacular performance was streamed live on MagentaMusik – powered by four of our six DirectOut Prodigy units, supported by our custom-built mixing infrastructure and the ROME process.

This combination – advanced hardware, our flexible routing architecture, and the Remote Operated Mixing Experience – has become the new reality for hi-end concert recording and broadcast production across all formats.

ROME doesn’t replace audio trucks – it simply makes them the second choice.

Breaking news:
The world premiere of simultaneous remote mixing for Magenta Musik’s live stream of the Hurricane Festival’s Forest and River Stages.

Our first remote mixing and mastering session using our newly established MTI Teleport fibre connection was conducted with our brand-new gateway, achieving lightning-fast speeds between the Hurricane Festival site, the fibre node in Munich, and our remote mixing headquarters at Tonstudio Krauthausen in Cologne. The latency was just 12 ms — essentially real time.

We have set a new standard in terms of both sound quality and workflow efficiency.
In addition, our broadcast sound concept — which encourages musicians to send us files for pre-production, allowing us to prepare custom mixes that are recalled just before each performance — raises the quality of the Magenta Musik streams to an unparalleled level.

Our mixing and mastering engineers — Stefan Gienger, Ronald Trijber, and Erik Gierich — appreciated the excellent acoustics and the pleasant, quiet studio environment.

Stefan Gienger said, “This feels like producing a band album at a very high level.”

I would like to thank Michael Schuld for recognizing our potential a couple of years ago and supporting us in our early days, as well as Telekom Deutschland, Sinje Deiker, Holger Schrott, and Nils Buchholz for embracing our innovations and modern workflows.

And of course, a big thank you to Live Nation — represented by Lars Oliver Vogt and Björn Bäurle — for supporting our new approach to live stream audio production.

Projects · April 2025-Breaking News:

A new era of real-time remote mixing for the music industry.

We have connected Europe's main venues to our RemoteMixRoom in Cologne with ultra-low latency via the pan-European MTI Teleport München GmbH Ethernet Point To Point network.

Remote Recording Network GmbH with the Remote Operated Mixing Experience (ROME) is  delighted to announce that we are probably the world's first privately owned 9.2.4 Dolby Atmos, Sony 360, MPEG-H remote recording, mixing and mastering network with a direct connection to all major stadiums, indoor arenas and selected festival venues located along our Rome Ring Road. At our remote mixing and mastering headquarters at Tonstudio Krauthausen in Cologne, Germany, we produce real-time mixes in stereo, binaural, Dolby Atmos and many other formats for live, on-air and cinema broadcasts.

Picture this:

Your music notes and the sounds of your live performance travel ultrafast on our      Rome Ring Road (R3) between the stage and our RemoteMixRoom in Cologne only limited by the speed of light.

It´s just you, our mix control, communication and video  on the R3, no traffic jam, no traffic lights, no exits, no entrances, no road works, no suspension cracks on unmade road, no overtaking or braking manoeuvres.

Our engineers feel as if they are sitting in a recording truck on location or next to the monitor position on stage.

It is like being wired in, but with the huge advantage of actually enjoying a perfect studio acoustic environment, not to mention a reduced carbon footprint.

Projects · A contribution from the art department at Winland.

A Christmas Tradition at Winland: Blending Cultures Through Music.
At Winland, we organize a live Christmas concert each year, a tradition that embodies the harmony of cultures and the magic of music.
Together, these exceptional artists created an unforgettable evening of cultural exchange and artistic brilliance. With over 1000 guests in attendance, the concert brought people together to celebrate music’s unique ability to unite us all. It was a tribute not only to the spirit of Christmas but also to the enduring legacy of Notre Dame de Paris, as it recently reopened—a powerful symbol of resilience and beauty.
The concert featured a stellar lineup of international and Chinese talent, showcasing the incredible power of collaboration:  Singers: Kathryn Lewek , Li Nan, Julien Behr, and Song Fengrun Conductor: Philippe Auguin Orchestra: The China National Opera House Symphony Orchestra
At Winland, we believe in blending diverse talents and traditions to create something truly extraordinary. This year’s concert was a shining example of that vision, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us on this journey.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

7.1.4 and binaural remote immersive audio monitoring

Davina Michelle live at AHOY in Rotterdam

On 2 November we recorded Dutch megastar Davina Michelle for Rob Sannen Audio Consultancy at AHOY in Rotterdam, one of Europe's top concert venues.

Our goal was to stream internally, listen in and set up the microphones perfectly with high precision. The arrays of 23 audience microphones, spread across the catwalk, balconies and floor areas, would be used for a possible immersive mix at a later date.

3D audio specialist Erik Gierich remotely commented on the microphone positions during setup and soundcheck from our 7.1.4 immersive control room in Cologne. Using one of the world's most advanced immersive mixing rooms helped us achieve unparalleled precision in microphone setup and due diligence.

Connecting any remote concert or production location to our perfectly sounding reference mixing room is the ideal way to create an immersive audio experience for recording and live streaming in Dolby Atmos, Sony 360, Fraunhofer MPEG-H, Binaural and any other format without compromise.

This approach to production eliminates the need for audio trucks or less than ideal, compromised on-site monitor setups. It saves money and contributes to a better carbon footprint.

THAN EVER BEFORE… AT WACKEN

To pull this off, it needed highly skilled technical and creative engineers, some pairs of extraordinary ears, a big portion of good ´metal taste´…

… and the guts to go down new routes.

The audio for both the Wacken Faster and Harder Stages were not only mixed on site in one room, but also remotely mastered and quality-controlled from our Cologne based studio.

Selecting numerous DirectOut Technologies products, the RRN team used six fully-equipped PRODIGY.MCs and PRODIGY.MPs, a couple of MADI.SRCs, two EXBOX.RAV, SPLIT.CONVERTORs, an EXBOX.MD, two M.1K2 to distribute and switch it all and six AVID ProTools systems to mix and record all shows.

We freely switched engineers between the stages depending on their taste, individual experience and their mixing history with the performing artists. There was no fixed allocation to ´one truck` as in the past.

The sound was amazing and as a bonus… we saved 1.6 tons of carbon doing it the sized down and remote way.

Yes - faster, harder, better!

Projects · Inside the MixHub, we were using six ProTools systems to record, mix and master.

Two DirectOut M.1K2s served as central switching and distribution units and two PRODIGY.MPs in a redundant setup to connect with the RemoteMix/Mastering Room in Cologne and to distribute the transmission signals.

Projects · Our newly designed Stage Racks contain two fully-equipped PRODIGY.MCs that can take analogue, MADI, Dante, RAV and AVB signals.

Working very happily with DirectOut devices, Globcon simultaneously controlled production on stage, in the MixHub and to/from our studio in Cologne.

Backup recording was managed using Steinberg Nuendo Live 3 and the audience submix with a Yamaha DM3 which was also controlled via iPad from the Mix Room and same time with a second iPad in Cologne.

The Stage Rack is also designed to handle a 'worst case' back-up scenario, sending a reasonable stereo signal to the world should a catastrophe occur.

Projects · It was a great pleasure mixing the audio for the Telekom Live Stream alongside Robbie Williams' producer Richard Flack.

An extraordinary event - the artist's performance, the sound, the vision… a total work of art that will resonate with me for a long time.

Whilst we mixed live at the studio inside the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall with a spectacular view of the stage, Erik Gierich mastered 'live and remote' in the acoustically perfect, brand new Studio Krauthausen in Cologne. Recording and technical management by Sven Raff.

Projects · In Memory Of Tobias Lehmann.

Some years ago, this would have been my personal nightmare:

The scenario involves some of the best talent in the world playing Beethoven in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. It would be my job to deliver a live sound quality that represents the incredible ability of this orchestra. And I am controlling everything 250 kilometres away.

 Today, things have changed; ‘remote control' is a regular occurrence – as it allows for many more benefits in quality, technology and budget.

 I’m now sitting in the best possible environment; Teldex Studios in Berlin and I’m with my renowned colleague and multiple Grammy winner, Tonmeister Tobias Lehmann. We’re working live and remote, but together we craft a live sound that has an enhanced dynamic and detail.

 We produced Street Gig Classics for Telekom Magenta and mixed the whole show remotely.

The difference in quality was audible for everyone to hear. Once again, the Remote Recording workflow added to the production value whilst saving time, travel costs and reducing our carbon footprint.

Since we refined our remote tech stack, we were even able to produce the whole show using consumer level internet and a mix of 5G, DSL and fibre connection. I’m stoked to see what we can achieve next with our remote system. We’re just at the beginning!

And many thanks to Tobias and Team Teldex. It was an honour once again to have you in the crew! And thanks again to Telekom Deutschland and Live Nation for using our Remote Recording, Mixing and Mastering process again.

My team at Remote Recording Network and our fellow partners from Riedel Communications are so pleased to receive this award for the joint project.

Our team connected camera operators, lighting designers, video directors and sound engineers scattered across the globe, proving once and for all that it is possible to control an entire music event production remotely. I want to thank TV Skyline and Riedel and all of our supporting partners - video, lighting and sound directors and the forty piece crew around Europe and the US who made this happen," said Peter Brandt smiling proudly.

Dick Hobbs, chair of the IBC2021 Innovation Awards Judging panel, "We saw some outstanding innovation submitted for the awards this year. On behalf of my fellow judges, congratulations to the finalists and winners, for being very much the 'best of the best'!

Projects · On behalf of Telekom Deutschland and Live Nation, Remote Mixing recently produced the broadcast sound for the world premiere of the Beethoven KI Project and once again, set another milestone in remote control of high-quality production.

Whilst Dirk Kaftan conducted the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn performing movements three and four of the AI Project and the eighth Beethoven Symphony, we mixed the music streaming sound in real time in the ideal, acoustically calibrated control room of Tonstudio Boecker in the neighbouring city of Cologne.

Projects · Here's another remote audio production that we want to tell you about.

This time we were at The Opera House in Chemnitz recording The Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie with conductor Gordon Hamilton and soloists Max Herre, Sugar MMFK and Nura for the `Machiavelli Sessions`.

260km away, our 'remote' production team was based in Ballsaal Studio, Berlin and included Tonmeister Tobias Lehmann(Teldex), engineer Alexandre Sitnikov with technical director Peter Brandt producing. 

Despite the distance, it really felt as though we were sitting in the room next door to the orchestra as the studio's acoustic environment and monitoring was perfectly-suited for this orchestral application. This appears to be one of several new benefits to remote location productions.

The event was produced take by take with flawless communications and audio transmission and with zero latency on the click tracks.

From the 'Green' aspect, we saved three crew travel, 12 nights of hotel accommodation, sound truck travel and the time-consuming setup of a control room. As a bonus we saved an average 800kg of carbon dioxide compared to the conventional location recording process. This includes the saved electricity used in the sound truck and fuel for crew travel and tractor-trailer.

Thank you: Sven Raff, Sven Kallenbach from 360X Media, Sebastian `Bub´ Wolf, Dominik Opiela, Adapoe and the great crew from the Chemnitz Opera House, Jens Lahnor from 2Bild in Cologne and Karsten`Kasi`Heyn from Riedel Communications.

Riedel Communications and Remote Recording Network (RRN) today announced their collaboration on a unique remote mastering service for a live stream concert performed by Peter Maffay and local musicians from Steintor-Varietè in Halle, Germany.
 
The special acoustic concert, which took place on April 13th (Easter Monday), was mixed on location by Werner Schmidl and, using RRN's Remote Mixing facility, mastered remotely by Peter Brandt from Studio Boecker in Cologne. Both locations were connected through the Riedel ROC (Remote Operations Center) in Wuppertal, serving as the communications and signal transmission hub of the operation. From here, ROC engineers monitored communications, remotely configured all signals and transmitted all audio streams between venue and studio.
 
This method of communication and audio transmission was jointly developed by Riedel and Remote Music Productions, a subsidiary of RRN, and is setting standards in producing high quality, environmentally friendly and cost-effective audio transmissions.
 
“Together with our partners at RRN, we put together an extremely compact plug & play system that could be linked quickly and easily to our ROC via a WAN connection. Without having to worry about setup and communications, Peter and his team could fully concentrate on their task at hand – delivering the perfect sound experience to listeners all over Germany,” said Carsten Voßkühler, Project Manager at Riedel Communications. “We are happy to play a part in the development of this groundbreaking remote service, which is a both cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solution for live event recording, mixing and broadcasting.”
 
Peter Brandt commented, "Only 4U high, this system is ideal to get the maximum out of FOH mixes and is more than suitable for broadcast and streaming. It was a joint effort from the FOH engineers, Riedel technology and the RRN team. The result was extraordinary!"

A key feature of Sphereo 3D-audio is its use of ‘3rd order ambisonics to binaural’ and SPAT Revolution 3D-audio mixing engine, both in combination with a custom-built Sphereo position-tracking system.

The Sphereo audio mixes use precisely positioned instruments and soloists (in height and pan) which smoothly and accurately follow a moving 360 degree video picture in the Virtual Reality headset. This approach makes the VR live concert experience truly realistic.

This is a giant step forward in bringing high-quality 3D-audio and Virtual Reality to consumer devices such as mobile phones, tablets or VR Goggles.

Thanks to Sphereo for relying on Remote Recording Network’s music mixing expertise.

Projects · For the third year Remote Taxi was asked to record and mix the TV and radio live sound transmission for ‘Energy Stars for Free’ concert in Zurich. This event gets continually stronger; with this year’s artists including Ellie Goulding, James Arthur, Tinie Tempah and Leona Lewis. Engaged once again by our good friend Marc Schütrumpf from Neoxfilm, Remote Taxi’s Sven Raff took care of the event’s installation and recording whilst Peter Brandt mixed the music in TV Skyline’s OB-Van#5.  As with previous years we used the Taxi-Rocknet system to efficiently distribute all audio feeds. This time we also took full advantage of Remote Taxi’s flexibility and used the Taxi’s Flight Pack enabling us to set-up the recording equipment inside the “Hallenstadion” whilst maintaining the hi-end audio recording quality that Remote Taxi delivers.

Projects · RemoteTaxi recently buddied up with Remote Recording Mobile 5 where they handled the audio for bands like The Prodigy, Greenday and 30 Seconds to Mars at the Rock am Ring music festival at the Nürburgring racetrack.

Using 160 channels of Rocknet distribution through 3 MADI units, Mobile 5 multitracked and mixed the bands on centre stage whilst RemoteTaxi mainly acted as a switching unit for the audio splits for the 21 performing acts.

Projects · Fully loaded with audio visual gear, RemoteTaxi was in Berlin at The Astra Club at the end of April 2013 to take on a 5 camera, 56 audio track live web stream and recording.

Directed by Marc Schütrumpf for Telekom Streetgigs, Tobias Berbuer was video engineer, Gordon Reddy, music-mix engineer and Sven Raff audio engineer.
