The studio scored more than 60 cues for the program, and handles sound editing/design via its Fairlight DAW. A Soundtracs DPC-II console is used for mixing. Former NY Giant Dhani Jones is recorded in the studio using a vintage 1964 M49/UA610 micpre, with Neve 33609 compression. The show was delivered in stereo for the first season, but might see 5.1 if the budget allows for season two. Footage is shot on VariCam at 24p. Duncan Shepherd of 89 Editorial (www. 89edit.com) teamed with director Tom Krueger on a music video for U2. Magnifi- cent was shot with eight HDCAMs and four HDV camcorders. Shepherd and Krueger chose a grade for each camera. The video was edited in HD using Final Cut.
