Dangerous Music Liaison

Description

Leverage All Your Gear, All The Time
Contemporary studios must be flexible and agile, with the ability to adapt to any workflow effortlessly. Tracking, mixing and mastering services oftentimes must be performed under one roof, utilizing every piece of outboard gear available. The Dangerous Liaison realizes this dream by providing unprecedented access to your outboard equipment. Connect up to six of your favorite units to the Liaison (more if you daisy chain, leverage a patchbay or add a Dangerous Master).

The human ear has a remarkably short memory. Echoic memory studies have revealed up to 4 seconds of retention. Unfortunately these are based on vocal cues (random word sequences) vs. audio auditions. The latter have resulted in only up to 1000 milliseconds. That means no time for a patchbay or clumsy manual jack swaps. The Liaison provides true, instantaneous comparisons with no disconcerting pops and thuds. Instantly audition any device or combination, change the order, dial in some parallel processing and then store these customized signal paths as presets to use again, on demand, anytime.

Recall Any Tracking, Mixing, or Mastering Configuration
Seamlessly Integrates with Dangerous Master
Zero Audio Sacrifice
True hard-wire bypass relays remove the gear entirely from the signal path; this includes outboard that lacks an integrated bypass or true hard-wire bypass. Mastering grade components switch instantly and silently, providing true A/B comparisons without coloration or latency. Pre and post-processing monitor outputs make it simple to audition between the original source and the treated product. Skip the path of least resistance. Instead of patching in the “the usual,” audition new combinations of outboard, and discover the next tier of creativity.
