B.o.B @StarMount Studio

B.o.B was here, laying down some guitars and bass for upcoming release. Great vibe and nice hooks from the multi talented artiste/producer. We had the first taste of FGN electric guitars and bass guitars from Candor Music. All lines were DI through our favorite Radial JDI Duplex and into Chandler TG II and topped with a slight massage from Neve Portico 5043 Compressors. Nothing is more rewarding than to see wide smiles happy clients :)

Platform 11, Keith Tan Vocals

We've reached the final tracking of the vocals of Keith Tan, Platform 11. Vocals coached by 管啟源 aka Guan, one of the most sought after lyricist and music producer in the region. It's such a great experience working with passionate, dynamic, yet professional personnel.

Recorded in the vocal booth of Studio A, sE Gemini II, transported with Vovox Link into Chandler TG2 with extra boost. On the DAW, Metric Halo Channel Strip with activated Compressor, small hint of plate reverb and paired with MC 77 gave a nicely controlled vocal cue mixes. All in all, its productive and we look forward for more nights to come!

Producer getting his hands dirty on vocal comps.

Full of emotion, Keith Tan

Horn session with Jon Dante.

We recently had Jon Dante, principle trumpet for MPO (Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra) and now HKPO (HongKong Philharmonic Orchestra) in for Q Sound's upcoming project. The player is already fantastic so we need to make sure we're able to fully capture and preserve the performance.
We use the new JZ Vintage Series V12 microphone, placing about 2 ft away, off-axis slightly to the right of Jon's custom made horn. The signal was routed through Chandler TG2 coupled with Neve Portico 5043( high threshold, almost non compression) and finally back into the DAW via our Lavry Blue converters.
The end result was a smooth and lush tone, with the already smokey horn sound from the custom made piece. It has a vintage vibe of olden days recording as it has silky smooth top end, and fat mids.
The V12 has certainly surprised us with the full bodied sound, yet unlike the rest of the V series, It has a slight shimmer on the top end, which sounded so close to a valved microphone.

V12 put to work. The lush and warmth tone captured was incredible.

Check out the trumpet, the tone is amazing! Thanks Jon Dante!!!
