This Music Studio 2.0

Boy, has it been a long time since I have written one of these updates and a lot has happened over here since we last met.

Over the past year, This Music Studio, has been through some cosmetic and personnel changes. First, among it’s ranks, we can add uber producer/engineer Kelvin Avon of Chewatribe Productions to our Ranks. Though not new to Hong Kong, Mr. Avon recently established his production company, here in Hong Kong and brings years of engineer and production experience and an impressive portfolio to This Music Studio. Also, surreptitiously coming in and out of our studio is Sean Humphries, Asia Pacific Sales Manager of “ Asia Pacific Music Marketing“. As a representative of many of the world’s leading musical Instruments, professional audio interfaces, music software, sound recording equipment, broadcast and music technology products he adds a extra credibility to This Music Studio.

In its second year as a full time music studio, This Music Studio has gone through many physical changes and equipment upgrades. Most noticeable is the new addition of the Solid State Logic AWS 900 SE+ mixing and recording console (nicknamed Peter). Though our Yamaha O2R served us very well for the past few years, it was time for something new. And man is this something special! In a digital world, it is great to get a little a bit of analogue back into this place. And once we have everything patched up and all cables and wires are tucked away and set up, we will be a formidable opponent to many studios in Hong Kong. Our advantage, hopefully, convenience.

Rounding out the changes is completion of renovation to our control room. Rebuilding a portion of the studio around the new mixing desk was both a daunting and exciting task, but ultimately it worked out beautifully. After a few months we had put up a new wall, and created a new room solely dedicated to recording mixing and editing music. And with the edition of a 5.1 enabled speaker monitoring system from KRK, we have the capabilities to mix and edit motion pictures and soundtracks. An exhilarating prospect that opens a whole new door of possibilities for ThisMusicStudio.

And finally our new website is now live. Courtesy of PegLeg Productions, our new look site has been streamlined with a new booking section and updated spec sheet plus a few more features. So click on over there and tell your friends. This Music Studio is back with a vengeance and ready to shake the musical foundations in Hong Kong.

cheers,
