A Great Mic Pre for The Greatest Showman

Sound on Sound's "Inside Track" recently delved into the recording, mixing and engineering of the soundtrack for The Greatest Showman, the recently released musical film about the start of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. As it turns out, one of API's greatest mic pres, the 3124, played a major role in the film's soundtrack.

Derik Lee recorded the soundtrack for The Greatest Showman, having previously recorded the soundtrack album for the wildly successful Hamilton: An American Musical, among others. Lee discussed recording two of The Greatest Showman's stars, Zac Efron and Zendaya, for the song "Rewrite the Stars," and putting both of their vocals through a 3124.
