- Details
Associated with Sing! China and The Voice of China, Music King Studio boasts a healthy list of engineers and clients. “Others who use our studio - or are affiliated with our engineers - are Luca Bignardi, Anthony Kilhoffer, Kanye West, Jay Chou, James Li, Vicki Zhao, Jeno Liu, Della, Darren Wang and lots more,” clarifies marketing manager, Mr Lin. One of the champions of the flagship desk with was mix engineer Weiwei Jin, who used Music King Studio for recording and mastering the sound effects for the opening ceremony of Shanghai Disney Resort. “Disney is now turning into a regular client,” says Mr Lin.
Originally designed to be a mastering studio operating solely in the digital domain, the installation of the Heritage with Dual Layer Control (DLC) has transformed it into a hybrid setup – a good decision, believes Mr Lin. “It has improved the sound quality hugely and is very easy to work with,” he says.
Comprising a live room, control room and vocal booth, the upgraded studio and its new addition have already had the seal of approval from Music King Studio’s Mr Ming, who says, “The Audient ASP8024-HE is the dream piece of all the producers,” adding, “Not only is it great-looking and easy to use, but the master section is outstanding.”
The studio itself is in a beautiful old-style building, nestled in a surprisingly leafy area in the heart of Shanghai, just a stone’s throw from the French colonial area.
