Michael Ilbert’s library of presets were designed to give you a “director’s cut” mix of each kit.
Featuring a wide range of microphone setups and different sonic approaches, it will give you an enormously wide palette of options for anything from big and boomy to small and tight.
Serving as a perfect contrast, the Toontrack library was engineered to provide go-to genre-style presets or specific sound ideals.
Expect a variety of mixes that range from minimalistic and classic all the way down to edgy and modern.
Since its inception in 1913, the magnificent building on Köthener Straße No. 38 that houses the Hansa Studios – just a stone’s throw away from Potsdamer Platz in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district – has served as a ballroom, a concert hall and a theatre.
However, what forever ingrained the spirit of this place in the fabric of our culture was neither of those things – it was the music immortalized between its four walls decades later.
In the mid-’70s, when the Meisel brothers Thomas and Peter bought the building and restored it to fully meet the standards of a recording studio, its true golden years under the Hansa monicker began.
Since then, countless classic albums have been recorded and mixed here.
Michael Ilbert has been recording and mixing records non-stop since the mid-’80s. His career began on the west coast of Sweden, working for rock, punk and up-and-coming pop bands of the time.
The quality of his work, however, quickly transitioned into gigs in the mainstream realm on a more international level.
Since 2007, Michael works out of his own room at Hansa, delivering mixes back to back for the absolute top tier of the industry.
Some of his recent work includes records for Coldplay, Adele and The Weeknd, to name but a few.
