Guthrie chose
the AMEK G2520 as his primary mixing console. He feels it
is one of the most musical sounding desks in existance with the
best EQ. Because it would be used for film music, he designed modifications
that enable it to record and mix six track dolby stereo.
Sure enough,
one of the first clients for Slippery was the noted film composer
Michael Kamen. He recorded overdubs and mixed soundtracks
for such films as Die Hard, Die Hard II, Robin Hood, Lethal
Weapon and others there. He also did work on his solo album
on which Eric Clapton and David Clayborne visited
the studio and recorded there.
James Guthrie,
besides doing overdubs and editing work for Pink Floyd, also recorded
and mixed his own album project at Slippery. Belling recorded radio
advertising campaigns for American Express, Molson Beers of
Canada, Greenpeace, African Wildlife Foundation, Universal Television
and spots for all the major motion picture studios.
The desk and
all other studio gear complete with wiring looms is for sale. It
is a total solution that could be up and running in another location
in a matter of days.
