Completed Summer 2020
47 PRODUCTION IS A WORLD-CLASS AUDIO PRODUCTION AND RECORDING STUDIO FOR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, and Tobago (2nd of September 2020) – Caribbean Entertainment Technologies (CET|AMR); is pleased to announce the completion of 47 Production, a commercial audio, and video production studio built from the ground up with sound isolated high ceilings, a large talent room, vocal booth, and full-size mix room. The facility includes full-size in-wall JBL monitoring and ProTools HD recording.
This new recording facility based in Maraval Road, Port-of-Spain, provides world-class services in audio and video recording, mixing, mastering, and production. In addition to offering all of the traditional services expected from a professional recording studio, 47 Production aims to be a world-class production and recording outfit that will draw international artists and create a platform for collaborations between T&T local producers, musicians, and singers with their foreign counterparts. “We created this studio out of the desire to advance T&T artists to the next level in their careers and get them the exposure they deserve,” explains Dwayne Bravo, Owner of 47 Production. “The studio will also provide an avenue where engineers, producers, and artists can work with others and grow in artistic collaboration.”
DJ Bravo sees the studio as a way of helping to market T&T and its gifts which he says are woefully under-promoted, “From traveling and being around and using different studios around the world I always wanted a personal quality studio so when international stars come to Trinidad for a vacation or event they will know there is a first-class studio available, this is my biggest drive. Why for an island that has so much for some reason we are not recognized? Artists have to take the music now on a more serious level but not a hustle. If you want it to be recognized worldwide you have to take it seriously.”
47 Production is built around AVID ProTools HDX solution with Slate control a custom JBL / TAD in-wall monitor solution with BSS signal processing. The Acoustics are broadband absorptive design with a degree of variable reflection in the talent areas. SDI Video, Dante, and highspeed data network, video relay, intercom, and full UPS power (uninterruptible power supply) is provided throughout the facility. LED color changing lighting for moods to suit the creative mindset. All Lighting, air-conditioning, door locks, intercom, and all the other components to encompass a full building management solution is integrated into the owners’ mobile devices and touch screens distributed around the facility.
CET|AMR Project Manager commented “DJ Bravo wanted a world-class facility to support his product development and the support of his related performing artists, while also being available to professionals that need that “big-room” level audio production. Fueled by our client’s desire to do something special and innovative, we created the only large format commercial recording facility in the country and designed from the ground up to get very loud at reference quality to mimic the volume levels that are the normal experience in Trinidad and Tobago. Utilizing a custom-built 14000w free hung in-wall 4-way active monitor solution allowing an all-day 110db level at the mix position with measured reference-grade response mix position”
47 Production took 1.5 years to be fully constructed and installed, the features include concentric 2-way nearfields and 5.1 surround ready monitoring solutions. Seamless operation between ProTools, Logic, and most other popular DSP solutions, utilizing Dante, thunderbolt, and Digi-link all integrated by Slate touch screen session management. Video and audio intercom from all locations for artist and operator communications, full STC rated doors and a full-size walk thru high STC rated glass separation between control and talent add to the artists and production comfort.
Bravo plans to release an album to coincide with the opening of 47 Production, which will feature recent releases ‘Helicopter’ and ‘Million Gyal’ as well as a collaboration with Jamaica artistes Gyptian and QQ.
