Features · A live streaming feast – a total work of art in band performance, sound, and vision on MagentaMusik.

Once again, we remotely mixed the concert in real time from our main studio at Tonstudio Krauthausen in Cologne, while the band was performing live in Berlin. Kudos to engineer and producer Charlie Bauerfeind, who delivered an outstanding mix.

Our Remote Mixing setup has proven itself: it doesn’t get faster or more stable than working at the speed of light over a direct connection – unless the laws of physics change.

All our engineers and producers come from an over 40 year music production and recording studio background, with a deep cross-genre understanding, individual preferences, and a shared commitment to uncompromised sound.

For many years, our mission has been to bring music mixing back to its true home – the recording studio – where heart, soul, and emotion shape the sound, instead of compromising in broadcast or recording trucks.

„Es ist wirklich wahr – die kölsche Band  BAP steht auf der Faster Stage in Wacken!

Und wir sitzen hier in Köln-Mülheim auf der Schäl Sick und mischen ferngesteuert das Ganze live für den MagentaMusik-Stream –aus dem Tonstudio Krauthausen heraus.

„Weil mer han Ahnung vun dä Technik…“

.................................................................

“It’s really true – Cologne’s very own Band BAP is playing on the Faster Stage at Wacken!

And here we are, sitting in Cologne-Mülheim, mixing the entire MagentaMusik stream live and remotely from our Remote Mixing Headquarters at Tonstudio Krauthausen.

“Because we know the tools – inside out.”

...................................................................

Tech Specs

Wacken → Cologne latency: 16 ms via a direct fiber connection between the audio infrastructure at Wacken and the control rooms in Cologne.

In addition to the audio feeds from the Faster and Harder Stages, the connection also carried:

• video program signals
• intercom (comms)
• DAW data
• remote fader control

Faster. Harder. Better than any audio truck or on-site mixing solution.

Stay tuned.

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.

ROME – Remote Operated Mixing Experience

Stay tuned!
