"A Whore's Dream" Soundtrack Recording

We had Faraz Khordad coming in for solo piano act. Original composition for a short film titled "A Whore 's Dream". sE 4400a pair, omni, to the Neve Portico 5012 and 5043. Result is a dark yet musical sounding grand piano. It even changed the tone of the usually bright Yamaha. Great stuffs.

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

Maestro Fung @ StarMount Studio

One day away from his flight back to NYC, Fung Chern Hwei graced StarMount Studio with his latest composition " When She Spread's Her Wings". It wasn't the usual acoustic setup as we're dealing with Distortion Guitars, Effected Violin and Cello and to fit all in one room with the maximum isolation. Challenging session, but beautiful music made it all worth it.

One Thing - Faris 'aka' Freeze @ StarMount Studio

We had one of the youngest client in the studio during the Raya Month. "Coolest Faris" aka "Freeze" was here for his recording of " One Thing" by One Direction. It was amazing to see how well prepared and well composed Faris was throughout the session. It was definitely an inspiring recording session for everyone in StarMount Studio.

Pop from HK @StarMount Studio

We recently held sessions for a pop music project from HongKong. The production team brought in their own U87 and SSL 4000 Channel Stripe for the project. Its definitely an exciting moment as there aren't many SSL consoles around in KL and we got to use the real channel stripe rather than using the plugs.
We had Lydia and Rui Ping on the backing vocals, tracked with our faithful sE3300 into the Neve Porticos. Gary Gideon, highly acclaimed sessionist in the pop scene, talendted Ken Chung on bass.

We also had 7 piece strings section, 4 violins, 2 violas and 1 cello. We had the SSL Channel strip on the cello. We're surprised as we paried JZ V67 with the channel strip and the sound was solid, especially on the low end of the cello. The violas tracked with U87 through Chandler TG2 amd the violins tracked with sE3a pencils into Neve Porticos.
