The Story
Tides Out Studio, located in Southport’s Warehouse Arts Centre, is a non-profit recording studio, live venue and independent music store. From recording to mixing and mastering, as well as live performance and industry skills, Tides Out offer the necessary resources to help anyone grow as an original artist without the financial burden.
Tides Out is iFi’s local recording studio and official collaborator of the GR 2 Painting Auction. The Tides Out team recently got to test out various iFi products, and decided pretty quickly that they had to get a Valkyrie of their own for the studio.
The Valkyrie Experience
Tides Out described their experience with iFi products, saying:
‘We have tested out several iFi products in our studio space. The Valkyrie has truly stood out amongst the products we tested, especially its Xpresence mode which we have found brings the vocals forward on a track with surprising clarity without making anything sound unnatural, perfect for playback when recording with one of our artists.’
Experiencing the iDSD GR 2
Upon the iFi team visiting the Tides Out studio, we asked a couple of the artists who were rehearsing what they thought of our new iDSD GR 2. A few stand-out quotes included:
‘It feels like you’re in the room whilst the artist is performing live’
‘I will never listen to music in any other way again’
‘I’ve listened to a lot of music through a lot of different systems, and that is the clearest I’ve ever heard that song… the clarity is absolutely amazing.’
‘There’s hours and hours that go into producing these amazing songs, and sometimes you’re missing so much of it… but with this, you can just hear every amazing thing they’ve done on that track with such incredible clarity’
‘It’s such a full sound’
‘It makes mixing a little easier because you can hear different aspects of the song in their distinguished places’
