If Ur doing Commercial stuff there's another place (which i m not gonna name) thats wherer dbs did "Life is Beautiful". Thats a good place to do programmed stuff. Lion's studio is pretty good too but a little expensive for local acts. The rest of them which start up with basic computer based multitracking and stuff sound bad. U can compare recordings. Its lack of exp from the engineers and also the limited audio toys that they use unlike the other studio where U actually use "real" gear.
Hey guys,
Too many recording studios in Singapore today & from samples I've heard, I'm sorry to say that most of the studio's in Singapore sound terrible. I personally write and produce stuff abroad and only a couple of studios come close to achieving good quality. For doin living music, there one place in McPherson (which Im not gonna name) at Tong Lee Building has the best drum sound as well as other live instruments.
maybe this thread is dead...
Robin, if you wanna make dogmatic statements such as this, let yourself be known..no details about you. There are pretty decent mixing engineers such as shah and frank lupo. Not a vibrant market here so probably they are mostly doing for taiwan, China etc... Arrangers and the arrangements are a major component of quality of sound as well. Steph sun producers are no slouches either.
Lion Studio is 'pretty good'?
I guess that is a severe under statement!
I would think that Lion Studio is one of the best acoustically sounding studio that I've ever heard and probably the only good studios left in town that can record, mix & master an album that can be of international CD release standards.
In fact, I use their recordings as a reference to improve my own skills in mixing alongside with other reference CDs from Sheffield Labs & Reference Recordings.
You guys should check out the studio at Republic Poly... ams Neve Genesys Console, ProTools HD Systems, TC Electronics System 6000, Eventide and Lexicon Outboard, a huge mic collection + ADAM Audio monitoring, etc...Probably more "professional" than some of the "professional" studios out there.
jerseystar : what about petrol and lodging over at malaysia? you got samples of the $35 per hr recording studio? i would like to hear it and compare with our local standards.
You guys should read this thread on GS forums, entitled ' Ego Preservation - Assigning Blame '
http://www.gearslutz.com/board/tips-techniques/169195-ego-preservation-assigning-blame.html
The very utmost priority in this business is protecting and preserving your ego. Without it, you will not be able to make music effectively, as reality comes crashing in around you. So wherever you are in the process of making music, be sure to always have someone else to blame for any mediocrity that you may find yourself unable to avoid.
regardless of what anyone else says.
