British
audio company Audient has teamed up with leading cab simulation pioneers, Tw
o Notes Audio Engineering to present Sono, The ultimate audio interface
for guitarists.
Combining
Audient’s award-winning analogue and digital conversion recording technology
with the world’s best speaker-cab simulation from tw
o notes, Sono is home to the ultimate valve guitar preamp. Featuring an on board 12AX7
analogue valve and 3-band Tone control alongside tw
o notes
Torpedo power amp modelling and cab simulation,
Sono provides countless tonal
options for guitarists, whether they’re recording, practising or gigging.
“With two
notes, the creative possibilities are endless and you can really start
dialling in the tones your hear in your head,” says marketing manager, Andy
Allen. “Choose from a wide range of guitar and bass cab models based on
classics such as the Marshall 4×12, Fender 2×12 or Ampeg Fridge, with more
tones downloadable from Torpedo Remote if needed. You can even customise
everything from the room type, microphone model and placement too, and once you’re
happy with your sound, you can store your favourite presets on board Sono and
play them in standalone mode at any time – without the need for a computer.”
With near zero
latency,
Sono doesn’t get in the way of creativity. Monitor mix allows blending
between the guitar input signal and DAW playback, ensuring delay-free
recording, playback and monitoring, enabling the artist to stay in the creative
zone with none of the latency problems you get when tracking with software.
In addition,
Audient encourages Sono users to integrate their existing pedalboard. Andy
explains, “Plug in your favourite distortion, reverb and delay pedals directly
into Sono’s D.I, dial up a tone and instantly start recording or jamming
without the need to mic up and play through a noisy amp (or annoy your
neighbours).
“However, if
you do want to record in the more traditional sense, Sono will always record a
clean D.I signal, so you can capture your performances as creativity strikes
and reamp through your favourite hardware amps later without the need to buy a
dedicated re-amp box,” says Andy.
Guillaume
Pille, tw
o notes owner, has been a fan of Audient for some time. “Audient
interfaces have long been in our list of benchmark products used to try out our
plugins and hardware units,” he says. “Today, the whole tw
o notes
team is very excited to present what we think is the perfect interface, not
only for the guitarist and bassist, but also for any musician who wants to
bring colour into his recordings.”
Alongside the
more guitar-centric features,
Sono is a powerful interface in its own right,
with two Audient console mic pres for studio quality recordings, expandability
up to 10 inputs via ADAT for recording drums, class leading converters as well
as the unique ‘to valve’ feature. “Try routing vocal microphones or synths
through the classic valve preamp, analogue EQ and tw
o notes
processing and start creating crazy new sounds or simply add that classic
analogue warmth to your recordings,” adds Andy.
“Sono is all
about developing creativity and providing an easy-to-use gateway into the world
of professional audio recording. It really is a fun tool for guitarists and
engineers alike. With Sono
anything is possible.”
