Dave Stewart has fitted a Dangerous D-Box at the centre of his studio’s computer-based productions.
His ‘Weapons of Mass Entertainment’ Hollywood studio serves as the star’s creative hub, where he has produced vastly diverse work for many established artists over the years, including Annie Lennox, Katy Perry and most recently, Steve Nicks.
Stewart is also using the studio as a platform for his ‘supergroup’ project, currently going by the name ‘Super Heavy’. The group features the talents and contributions of Stewart, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and AR Raman.
Ned Douglas, Stewart’s programmer and engineer, commented: “They all draw on their own influences to create the music. We’ve been recording it all over the world for the last couple of years, but for the last couple of months we’ve been doing vocals with Mick and Joss in the studio here, monitoring through the D-Box.”
Douglas also suggests that the space-saving benefits of installing the D-Box were a key reason behind its installation at the studio, he added: "The whole idea of getting the Dangerous D-Box was born out of the idea of losing the 32-channel analog console, it used to sit at unity gain and not do anything," recalls Douglas. "It took up so much room in the studio. When we moved, I thought it would be a much better idea to dispense with that, since most of the mixing happens in the computer."
