No doubt This is the best Live concert in 2008. And much of the surprises is beside the wonderful Edward Chan is band leader and keyboard, my own old pal Joseph Wei from Toronto was playing drum and it sounds very nice!! Although you won't read this, but i am so proud of you. =)

The whole concert is fulfill with dynamics, groovy and soul. I never imagine a pop concert will sound like this.......kudo for everyone involved. I have thought to go taiwan for the same concert too, if time allows.

Shot from where I sat. The Digital GR gives false perspective that the stage is very far, it was only 10 rows from front.

How much I want to master his album, especially this live recording. His last live recording was suffered very much by bad recording quality.

This is my first blog in Ameba.
Last week we were working on a Beijing project
Here is a snap shot of the equipment rack@ Chris Babida Studio.

For a special reason, I started a "30 days in Black & White" project, for a memorial.
I hope, you can be strong.

My custom made Crookwood Mastering Console is coming to town. I wish it can arrives earlier, with the newly re-tube Manley equipment, will provide a very good mastering setup.
We are invited on a great recording session. For two days session we recorded the double bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and electric bass.

It proves that Royers (www.royers.com) is a great microphone that you cannot miss. We put it on the amp, we put it on Blumlein (crossed figure 8) config on acoustic guitar. There were a stereo AB pair of DPA 4003 omnis as ambience mics. A blend of these microphones should produces a very nice sounding.

two microphones Beta 56 and Royers R122 on guitar amp.
