Studio ForJam ATL

In July 2009 construction was completed  on a new control room-production suite in Atlanta, Georgia. Studio ForJam also had a recent conversion in December of last year from a large Pro Tools HD Accel system to an Apple Logic-Apogee Symphony 64 5.1 surroundsystem. The Logic-Apogee system along with a 5.1 surround monitoring system, is state of the art with virtually unlimited production capabilities. Studio ForJam is geared to more high end "music-for-picture" production. With Apple Logic and the Apogee Ableton LiveSymphony system, we have the most versatile digital audio workstation as well as world class digital  audio converters. Coupled with a state of the art NAS RAID hard drive array and the new control room environment, Studio ForJam is optimized for  rapid music composition and production; from creativity to final mixing and mastering. This studio is the private production facility for John Forbes.

The Studio

 

Pro Tools 9A new development in the studio has been the release of Pro Tools 9 from Avid. Pro Tools 9 has allowed me to maintain a workflow that is more compatible with other studios. Pro Tools 9  is probably the most important advancement in digital audio in the past eight to ten years. This complete redesign enables the current Apogee Symphony 64 system to operate as the I/O for Pro Tools 9 thus elevating the sound quality of an already amazing Logic Studioplatform. The audio environment in Pro Tools is far superior to other DAWs in that multiple assignments for bussing, audio tracks, midi tracks and auxes can be made on the fly. In addition, the pan Law parameter allows for a wider center in the stereo field when mixing; another huge pro audio enhancement.

Studio

Studio ForJam is located in Atlanta, GA. Set up for music production and mixing this state of the art facility is on the cutting edge of music production for film and television. Specializing in 5.1 surround production and mixing, Studio ForJam interfaces easily with television and film clients form all over the world.
