Alice's Restaurant owner Mark Plati (www.markplati.net) decided that his New York City — based facility needed a tech upgrade when his Mac G4 blew a tire, his SCSI II drives were aging and running on OS 9 was causing compatibility issues. Plati — an engineer, producer and musician for David Bowie for seven years — turned to Tekserve's Chris Payne (head of the company's pro audio department) and Derek Davis (senior pro audio technician) to complete the job.
“I needed an entirely new computer music setup, which meant a CPU, a Pro Tools|HD mix system, audio interfaces, cabling, HD storage, OS X plug-ins — the works,” said Plati, who also used his new system at Electric Lady Studios. “I also wanted to upgrade Logic Audio to 7.1 and get some additional goodies I'd always wanted. I wanted a system that would last and not become outdated in six months. I'd been resisting such a jump, and [Tekserve] made it completely painless. There was a bit of a learning curve involved with the new system, further complicated by the fact that I had to begin doing sessions on it immediately, and they helped me through that, as well.”
