Overview

Artisan Mobile has grown with a changing business, but our mission has stayed the same: to bring to your location the experience and reputation you deserve. 

We are transitioning from our beautiful mobile unit to a fully flight-pack system to offer better value to our customers. A stellar crew and meticulously designed system offer the very best in remote recording, broadcast, and audio post.  Our return clients include ABC, BMG, Disney, MTV, NBC, Sony, Telemundo, Universal, Univision, and Warner Brothers and have brought us dozens of gold and platinum recordings and a Record Of The Year Grammy.  We can hardly express our gratitude to the people who have enabled this success.

Artisan Mobile uses a state-of-the-art approach to capturing and broadcasting live music.  Dante and MADI are central to our stage interface.

In addition, our proprietary microphone preamplifier and splitter system, widely praised by those who have heard it at work, is available for the asking. The preamp design, in two identical 50 channel systems, is optimized for the rigors of the performance stage, engineered specifically for painless interference-free connections and to provide the most accurate reproduction of the microphone signal possible.  The two 50-channel integrated systems use industry-standard W4 connectors and line-level outputs can drive 1000’ cable lengths without degradation or interference, all in the analog domain. This is no longer our main stage interface, replaced by an all Dante system.

The stage signals received by the truck directly feed Pro Tools and are routable in both analog and digital domains.  This simple, hands-off approach results in a recording which is a channel by channel representation of the raw microphone pickups from the live stage, the ideal scenario for the post-production engineer and producer.

Live mixes are created in the ProTools Ultimate v2022.9 session format and mixed on our Focusrite/Avid Control|24 mixing surface.  The benefits to this approach: 

•   The combination of the ProTools software and controller allows for the setup and control of infinitely complex routings for television broadcast feeds with simultaneous multitrack recording.  Offline setup saves precious hours at the job site.

•   Use of virtually unlimited, industry standard, award-winning plug-ins for the ultimate in equalization, dynamics and reverb.  We maintain extensive, musically organized libraries.

•   Total, instant recall of soundcheck and rehearsals for multiple-act shows, and fine-tuned live mixes.
