\"Faz<\/a>We chat with producer and mix engineer Ben \u2018Faz\u2019 Farestvedt about upgrading his recording studio with the RME HDSPe MADI FX sound card.<\/h3>\n

Update January 2022:<\/strong><\/span> We caught up with Faz once again to find out more about running a small studio; helping independent acts to hit the ground running; and how the RME HDSPe MADI FX card continues to help shape the creative process in his studio. Check out our video interview below.<\/i><\/p>\n

Ben \u2018Faz\u2019 Farestvedt is a producer and mix engineer who runs the Damage Audio<\/a> studio in Bedford. Having started out as a touring musician and FOH engineer, these days he spends most of his time in the studio, producing and engineering long-standing artists such as The Blockheads (Ian Dury) & Tomirae Brown (James Brown Band), as well as helping to develop and build the careers of newer names such as Don Broco, Sarpa Salpa, The Scruff and Low Girl.<\/p>\n

As part of a major refurbishment to his recording space, Faz recently upgraded his main recording rig to an RME HDSPe MADI FX<\/a>, and we were keen to get his thoughts about RME\u2019s triple-MADI PCIe sound card – including how it\u2019s allowed him to completely swap out his console, with a recording workflow now solely based around RME’s TotalMix FX software mixer (and an ARC USB<\/a> for monitor control).<\/p>\n
