"Our main objective with Instant Star is to make the series as realisticas possible to accurately reflect the music industry, which is why wehad to have a fully functioning board and not just a set piece. This isenhanced with the presence of the Allen & Heath ML5000 mixer, which isthe centrepiece of our recording studio set in the fictitious 'G Major'Studio," explains executive producer, Stephen Stohn. "Many of the show'sfans are intrigued by the music business, so the challenge is to haveall the equipment working as a real studio with the mixer at the coreoperating as a real board, with the meters visibly working."

Instant Star is currently broadcast in Canada and the USA.
