BTW - My OP is all true.
www.skysound.com Skywalker Sound is located in the serene rolling hills of Marin County, California, forty minutes north of San Francisco. Occupying the 155,000 square foot Technical Building. Skywalker Ranch is a 4000 acre working ranch that houses the headquarters for Lucasfilm and Skywalker Sound.
Presently, we have a fibre channel infrastructure that allows sharing of files and data quickly and easily throughout the Technical Building and around the world. An editor can work on a session in a private suite using one of our 80 ProTools digital audio editing systems while the mixers are mixing the exact same material on one of our six dubbing stages. Simultaneously, another editor can browse our proprietary library of more than 100,000 unique sound effects to find just the right sound.
This can all be done while we seamlessly connect the mix stage remotely to anyone with an internet connection using the APT WorldNet Skylink, a device that represents the culmination of a joint development program between APT and Skywalker Sound. In addition to the Skylink, we provide Dolby®FAX via ISDN Telestream, FTP, Digidelivery, Polycom view stations, and Conduit.
Our Scoring Stage offers the best of analog and high bit rate digital by maintaining in house the best selection of microphone pre-amps of any studio, and a wide range of converters for multichannel 24 bit/192k recording and editing.
The Scoring Stage also has the ability to connect to any stage or editing suite in the building or anywhere in the world using the APT WorldNet Skylink technology.
There are six feature film dubbing stages, a 300 seat screening room and a scoring stage capable of recording a 130 piece orchestra.
But the best part ... "Continental breakfast is provided daily. Lunch is available weekdays at the Main House Dining Room or
Fitness Center Salad Bar and Grill." (Screw that salad bar and fitness center crap.)
