Best Time for Piano Recordings

 The Yamaha DC-1in Studio A is tuned and the actions are re-calibrated by our skilled Mr. Chew. The tuning reference now is at 440Hz. This is the best time to get some piano tracks down without requesting for additional tuning fee needed. Contact us at info@StarMountStudio.com for studio rates and session bookings!

Feature Film Shot and Recorded @ StarMount Studio B

We had Ali Reza and his crew coming over for his latest feature film shot and recored at Studio B. Its always fun to see new setups and explore more possibilities to use the room other than just audio recording. Plus, this is the first day of our new assistant engineer Q.E Lim. Welcome aboard :)


Soundtrack for film at StarMount Studio

Strings and more strings coming in the studio these days. And it's lots of fun and hard work, most of all great effort to everyone involved in the movie soundtrack production.
Mixing cues and matching music to pictures are something new to our engineers and not to mention around the clock tracking and mixing!

We had 2 groups of string players coming in for the tracks and also cutting some rhythm sections and most of all the beautiful voice of miss Bell Foo.

sE Gemini sounds great when paired up with Bell's vocals. It gives such hugging warmth around the vocals, and it is really good if you're looking for the "intimate" vocal feel. Top end was silky and it sits right in the mix nicely.

JZ V12 was use for some "sweet" vocals as the strong mids from the mic and creamy top end gives it a solid yet punchy performance. Its interesting that this FET could produce texture very close to a tube mic would.

Looking forward to the mastering of the movie and will keep you guys posted when the movie is out!
