Avid Congratulates Its Many Customers Nominated for the 57th Annual GRAMMY(R) Awards
December 10 2014 - 9:00AM
Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID) today congratulated its many customers
recognized as award nominees for the 57th Annual GRAMMY® Awards for
their outstanding achievements in the recording arts. The world's
most prestigious ceremony for music excellence will honor numerous
artists, producers and engineers who have embraced Avid
EverywhereTM, using the Avid MediaCentral Platform and Avid Artist
Suite creative tools for music production. The ceremony will take
place on February 8, 2015 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles,
California.
Avid audio professionals created Record of the Year and Song of
the Year nominees Stay With Me (Darkchild Version) by Sam Smith,
Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, and All About That Bass by Meghan
Trainor; and Album of the Year nominees Morning Phase by Beck,
Beyoncé by Beyoncé, X by Ed Sheeran, In The Lonely
Hour by Sam Smith, and Girl by Pharrell Williams.
Producer Noah "40" Shebib scored three nominations: Album of the
Year and Best Urban Contemporary Album for Beyoncé by Beyoncé, and
Best Rap Song for 0 To 100 / The Catch Up by Drake. "This is my
first nod for Album Of The Year, and I'm really proud to be among
such elite company," he said. "I collaborated with Beyoncé at
Jungle City Studios where we created her track Mine using their S5
Fusion. With the mobility of my laptop Pro Tools® | Software rig, I
was able to use all my sounds in tandem with their S5, giving me
everything I needed to complete my session on the road with all of
my favorite tools."
Other GRAMMY Award-nominated projects by artists, producers and
engineers who use Avid solutions in their studios include John
Legend's All of Me (Live) (Best Pop Solo Performance), Coldplay's
Ghost Stories (Best Pop Vocal Album), Arctic Monkeys' Do I Wanna
Know? (Best Rock Performance), and Mastodon's High Road (Best Metal
Performance).
Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher said: "Being nominated for this
Grammy feels great, and hopefully it means we can help pave the way
for other artists in our genre. With Pro Tools on my laptop,
writing and recording is always an arm's length away, and it's
opened up a whole new creative part of me. We used Pro Tools and
Avid hardware all over our latest album Once More 'Round the Sun.
Without those tools, it just wouldn't have been the same."
"It is an honor to have the world's most talented music
professionals embrace Avid Everywhere and our industry-leading
audio solutions to record and produce the best and most listened to
music," said Avid president and CEO Louis Hernandez, Jr. "As a
company that's passionate about and inspired by world-class music
creation and technical innovation, we congratulate our
GRAMMY-nominated customers on their outstanding achievements."
