Scrub performs major Avid Pro Tools upgrades at ENVYs award-winning audio post facilities

Scrub, a division of HHB Communications specialising in serving the post production industry, has upgraded 12 of ENVYs Rathbone Place and Margret Street audio post production studios to Avid Pro Tools HDX hardware and version 10 software.

The upgrades were executed by Scrub technical support staff and ENVYs technical and sound teams over a weekend so the suites were fully operational on Monday morning. The full project included updating ENVYs Pro Tools systems from HD4 and version 7.4 to the latest HDX cards and version 10 software. Scrub also provided sales and technical support for two new Pro Tools studios, including the supply of a 32-fader Avid Icon console and a Pro Tools HD Native suite.

After completing the install, Scrub staff hosted a Pro Tools training session with the studios Operators to bring them up to speed with the latest features of version 10 software. The project was hailed a success by the staff at ENVY as the suites were fully upgraded on schedule without problems or delays.

Pro Tools HDX enables bigger, more complex productions with solid performance and stability by offering optimised DSP-accelerated hardware that delivers up to 5x more DSP per card, over a thousand dB of additional headroom, and up to 4x the track counts and 2x the I/O compared to Pro Tools HD Accel. It can also be scaled to increase track counts, power, and I/O, using up to three Pro Tools HDX cards and multiple Pro Tools HD Series interfaces.

ENVYs Head of Technical Operations Daniel Sassen commented: The Pro Tools HDX upgrades provide significantly improved power and sound quality, which allows our award-winning mixers more creative freedom than ever before. Upgrading all 12 studios in a single weekend was not going to be an easy task. As always, Scrub was integral to making this happen and worked very closely with the team at ENVY from early planning through to final implementation.

Scrub Head of Sales Ben Scully explains: The ENVY upgrade is a quite common story for a majority of our post production clients who we have worked with on multi-facility Pro Tools upgrades. Our sales and technical staff have the experience and knowledge to deliver the best results quickly and accurately, which is proven by the success of this project.
