A number of details don't show in the picture. Editing is easily accomplished facing the main monitors using a screen/keyboard/trackball that can be switched between the Sonic, the two Sadies or any additional DAW of your choice. The custom SPL router has duplicate controls on a wired remote that you can hold on your lap comparing different lash-ups right from the "chair." Separate playback controls for each computer are also provided. There's also a pair of near-fields and a duplicate computer monitor available behind the console if you prefer that for some tasks. Editing is often done simultaneously by an assistant in one of the two other rooms while the signal processing is being worked out in the main room.
The staff is also tremendous and working with them (and with Andrew) has been utterly addictive.
