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.

-14 channels of uncompressed 48k/24b streamed over the consumer internet, 7.1.4 plus binaural.
