| The Fort is Bill Whelan's private recording studio located in Roundstone, Connemara on the West coast of Ireland. It is an idyllic and inspiring setting with views from the control room across Roundstone bay and onwards to the majestic Twelve Pins mountain range. The state-of-the-art facility features an SSL 4000 G+ mixing console, Studer A827 24 track multitrack and Digidesign ProTools software and hardware. The Motionworks synchronisation system enables the sessions to be controlled centrally from the SSL computer and any number of "master/slave" combinations are available should you be working locked to picture. Here is a summary of the main equipment in the studio. | |||
