Toro Cheng Trio "Pianistic Wolverine" @ StarMount Studio

"Pianistic Wolverine"was being captured in StarMount Studio. A jazz trio project headed by Toro Cheng (piano), Ken Chung (bass) and Terence Ling (Drums).

Exciting time as it was a debut album and we were having the trio in the studio for the first time as well.

We had this on Pyramix 9, everything routed through Audient Zen 16 channels mic pre and into Horus interface. The tone was unified and the instruments were easily blending together while maintaining separation.

Dixon Artisan, with Audio Technica AE 2500 dual element microphone pairing was interesting as this was a rather huge kit for a jazz trio. The AE2500 has a very mid body tone, and we like the options to blend the condenser microphone with the dynamic according to different intensity of the song.

We enjoyed the songs, especially the originals from Toro very much and definitely looking forward to more to come from the trio.

Check them out on iTunes!

Thank You 2014, Cheers to 2015!

Its been an exciting year to StarMount Studio. We made new friends, expanded into new territories, major changes in the studio, new addition of facilities and all other special little moments that enriched our year.

Just a quick recap, we now have 2 working studios - Studio HD and The Upstairs.

Studio HD

Housing ProTools HD 8 and packed with the color palette from Lavry, RME, Tree Audio, Chandler Limited, Rupert Neve Designs and Audient, we have wide selection of tone colors for vocals and acoustic instruments recording.

Monitoring options are Yamaha MSP7, Adam F7 and Solitaire 5a.

The room was made rather reflective, as we were looking at a more natural and lively recordings as oppose to a damped room. Dampening options are available with reflexion filter, drapes and pads if necessary.

The highlight of Studio HD is, the price. We intend to make the rates affordable for everyone. Do hit us up to check on the studio rates and packages for your project needs.

The Upstairs

We are delighted to introduce Pyramix 9 Mass core with Horus interface (DSD) in The Upstairs.
The never ending crave for good sound has led us into this system and although the learning curve is really a painful one but all is worthwhile for its quality. We are now capable of going up to 384khz in PCM format, and DSD256.

Come and experience the joy and pleasure together with us as It never stops to impress after months of having the new system!

Cheers to 2015!
