Live Jazz@ StarMount Studio

Great musical moments were created and captured when Marques (Trombone), Patrick (Alto Saxophone), Wei Xiang (Piano), Kerong (Organ) and Wen Ming(Drums) got together to lay down their works in StarMount Studio. Session was live and we separated the horns, trombone in the Control Room, Alto Sax in the booth, and the rhythm section in the live room.

We tracked the drums and organ through our 16 channel Audient Zen, the horns through the Chandler TG2 and piano through Neve Portico 5043 with the silk on.
We had this on a 2 day session and the sets are great.

Making sure the piano is nice and comfy.

The magnificent trio

JT Tracking Horns @ StarMount Studio

We have John Thomas coming over for some horn dubs on his upcoming album. Great stuffs, and we had Patrick Tebrack and Marques Young on the saxophone and trombone. JZ V67 performed well on capturing the horns together. Through the Chandler TGII and slight compression on the Neve Portico 5043, we've got a nice blend on the mids and controlled top end fits nicely in the track.

Always great to record them together

Q Sound@ StarMount Studio

Great tunes and great times we had when Marques Young and the band recorded new materials for his upcoming album. We had John Thomas on drums, Zailan Razak bass, John Dip Silas playing the keys, Patrick Tebrack on Sax and Marques for the vocals and trombone.
Its always fun and challenging as we tracked all live. Utilizing all the space and rooms available, including the control room. The sound sources were well isolated and we love how the 22" hi hat sounding from the speakers.

That's the hi hat

StarMount Cafe

Can tell its a good session

Tracking off in control room

We were surprised  with Audient Black Series, where we put the Kick (e902) and Snare (SM57) through it. It has a nice saturation and punch when we crank up the thx on the pres, Glo on the EQ and both Overcomp and Smooth on the way out. It was amazing that the Audient Blacks could offer such variety of tone color, from rather transparent and open, to some really warm and punchy sounds.
