out post sound becomes exclusive UK distributor for Pro Tools Punchlight cue light system
out post sound has become the exclusive UK distributor for the Punchlight range of automatic recording indication cue lights for Pro Tools systems.
The system, which integrates directly with Pro Tools HD, LE and M-Powered DAW recording software, comprises of trigger boxes to connect to Digidesign MIDI or SYNC interfaces as well as a range of cue light and ‘Recording In Progress’ displays.
The Recording Display is designed for studios where aesthetics are important. The large LED alpha/numeric unit features visual PRE-ROLL and RECORDING information for voice-over artists and can be wall mounted. Various options and customisations are also available on request. The smaller desktop Recording Lamp, mounted in a solid wooden base, provides the same visual cue information in colour form as the Recording Display, while the compact Recording Strip features a row of red high intensity LEDs that illuminate when Pro Tools is in pre-roll or record — ideal for mounting outside a studio door.
The trigger boxes come in two flavours. The SwitchBox 3 for integration into a MIDI interface and the GPI ThruBox for connection to a SYNC I/O interface, provide all of the control hardware for any of the cue lights.
Rob Speight, Managing Director of out post said: “We are very excited to have taken on distribution of these products in the UK. The system is a fully integrated, easy to install and provides quick, automated visual cueing to voice-over artists enabling the recording engineer to concentrate on what they do best.”
The Recording Display retails at 159€, the Recording Lamp for 59€ and the Recording Strip for 39€ while the SwitcherBox and GPI ThruBox both come in at 159€.

out post sound has had a very busy couple of months with studio and location work as well as new clients a knockin at the door. The company sucessfully recorded The Magic Numbers and Captain at this years fabulous Great Escape Festival in it's home city of Brighton. Utilising one of its road ready Pro Tools systems the company worked with another Brighton based company, Alstublieft Audio - who provided all of the PA for the festival, and hooked up to their system via XTA active mic splits. The multi-track recordings were then delivered to festival sponsor XFM in London. A demo of the recording is available by clicking here.
In the studio out post was comissioned to create several voice overs for international electronics and medical giant, Philips. The recordings were made early one morning, much to the shock of recording engineer Rob Speight, and delivered by the wonders of the interweb to them in Amsterdam.
Now, with the summer solstice upon us the out post hotline continues to ring with several exciting projects in the pipeline. So get in quick, we might even do you a deal - or at least make you a nice cup of dried leaves boiled.
