127th
AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, October 9, 2009 — Kevin
Zambrana, President of Zambrana Productions, has been making records
for 30 years, and for the last 10 of those he has branched out into
live concert production, artist management, live sound, lighting,
staging, backline and pro audio equipment rental, reflecting the diversity
of the emerging new business model in the music industry. Zambrana
has also produced and done sound for live events at Madison Square
Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theater, the Copacabana
and other major venues, with artists including Tito Puente, Mark Anthony,
the Temptations, Ne-Yo, Cyndi Lauper and Joss Stone. “You have
to be able to do it all,” says Zambrana. Recently, Zambrana
turned to Guitar Center Professional (GC Pro), the outside sales division
of Guitar Center that focuses on the needs of professional users.
“That’s why I love working with GC Pro, because they have
it all.”
Michael Yorky, Account
Manager at the New York location of GC Pro, arranged the sale of an
array of recording and live sound equipment, starting with the centerpiece
of Zambrana’s recording studio, an SSL AWS900+ SE with Awsomation.
Working with GC Pro colleagues Niyi Adelekan and Angelo Vasquez, they
put together a comprehensive package that also includes three Focusrite
ISA828 8-channel mic pre’s, a Digidesign® Pro Tools HD3 system,
an Apple Mac® Pro Quad Core computer with an Apple 23-Inch Cinema
Display HD flat panel monitor, the Waves Diamond TDM bundle, a Yamaha
M7CL 48 48-channel live sound mixing console with a Yamaha MBM7CL
meter bridge and a Roland Fantom-G8 88 keyboard workstation, as well
as Ampeg and VOX guitar and bass amplifiers, and flight cases for
touring.
“The fact that Michael
was able to give me a single source for both pro audio equipment and
musical instrument gear really tells the story,” says Zambrana,
who has known Yorky for 25 years. In fact, he points out that when
he decided to add a live sound component to his production company,
Zambrana, an analog enthusiast for most of his career, needed to get
up to speed on digital audio technology. “Michael led me into
the world of digital,” he says. “GC Pro has all these
incredible resources. My business is designed to be full service,
so I need a company like GC Pro that can back me up on any of the
things that I do.”
