Encore Plusä Automation
Encore is the most advanced
automation package used in
world class Feature Film Mixing
Studios, Telev is ion Post
Production Studios and Music
Studios.
Encore Plus is the lates t
generation of the acclaimed
Encore software. Along with a
number o f automat ion
enhancements, Encore Plus
delivers several major new features including Reconform, Automation in Stop,
Mix Audition and Star Command remote control of digital audio workstations.
Automation Reconform is a highly significant development. It is becoming
increasingly common for pictures to be re-cut right up to and beyond the last
possible moment. In the past this became frustrating as mixes had to be rerun
from change points. Now change lists can be taken into Encore
Plus and the mix automation cut and spliced automatically to reflect picture
changes. This significantly reduces the work load on the Mixer as pictures are
re-cut as well as allowing greater freedom to the Director who can now
continue to make creative changes right up to the dub without disrupting the
mixing process.
The Star Command control system enables automated control of connected
Pro Tools™ systems, including plug ins, from the console surface via HUI™.
The console can also control Nuendo™. Star Command also implements the
Oasis™ standard which gives tight and comprehensive control over Pyramix™
workstations. Multiple DAWs can be controlled from a single desk.
Encore Plus also incorporates Session Import which allows mix data from a Pro
Tools 5.0 Session™ to be imported into the console.
Encore Plus uses a combination of updated operating system, new software
and new connection to provide far greater speed. Saving and loading mixes,
autosave, mix audition and similar tasks are up to fifty times faster than in
Encore.
Encore Plus is supplied as standard on all new MMC12 consoles.
Desk Plug Ins
AMS Neve are offering a range of desk plug ins tailored to suit the needs of
mixers. An initial suite of three plug ins is available:
Neve Classic EQ offers a high class emulation of the formant spectral EQ
used on both the analogue V series consoles and the acclaimed Capricorn
digital consoles. It provides additional creative possibilities and is a perfect
compliment for the clarity and control of the standard AMS Neve EQ
algorithms.
Multi-band Dynamics provides compression and expansion controlled
across three independent frequency bands. Suitable for de-essing, detailed
voice and vocal processing and track mastering.
Bass Enhancement produces programme dependant low frequency
harmonics, an essential tool for creating sub-bass tracks in film mixing,
surround post-production and music for DVD. This removes the need for
outboard units and brings the whole process under Encore Plusä Automation
control.

MMC 12
Overview
Mix Buss
Mixes of many hundreds of channels can be performed with a quality equal or
superior to any comparable system in either the analogue or digital realm.
Layers
A simple layers system allows many hundreds of signal paths to be controlled
from a 12 fader surface. All faders are motorised and fully automatable.
Faders can control input channels, groups, stems or masters whether mono,
stereo, or surround.
Input Stage
Neve Mic Pre's are the most sought after in the world. The MMC gives the
recording engineer access to high fidelity pre-amplifiers capable of producing
the most exquisite recordings at that most important stage - the recording of a
performance.
DSP
The MMC DSP provides EQ and Dynamics to match the quality of the Mic
Pre's. 40 bit floating point resolution throughout ensures true professional
sound quality.
Machine Control
The machine control section is fully integrated into MMC12 giving complete
control over up to five other machines simultaneously. No need for expensive
external systems.
Neve User Interface
One or more workstations can be controlled from the MMC12 surface using
the faders and channel strips. These controls can be dynamically automated
giving a high level of integration.
Monitoring
Complete control of multiple surround sources, master and stems, external
sources, foldown monitoring, surround processor insert points, speaker
selection, calibration, bass management and encoder insertion.
Talkback
Full talkback package giving the engineer complete control over the
communication process during recording, tracking, re-record or voice over
sessions.
MMC 12 - The Heart of the Studio
The MMC remains the hub of the studio no
matter what workstation, recorder or
dubber is in use. Anything you throw at it - it
can handle! The flexibility and power of the
MMC ensure its longevity and return on
investment while fashions for digital editors
come and go.
The 12 fader MMC provides all the power of the fully professional
console scaled to meet the needs of the modern workstation mixer.
