FAT CAT STUDIO

and

JAVA MUSIC PRODUCTIONS STUDIO

 

 

This is the place where I spent most of my time, day and night. To be a good engineer and producer, you have to be familiar with the sound of you studio. And the only way to achieve this is by LIVING AND BREATHING in your studio.

Working in commercial studios outside can be a very frustrating experience especially when you work with incompatent engineers. Mixing turned out too bassy or muddy because some studios in Hong Kong have really bad acoustics. Young engineers ( and some old) are only exprienced in recording midi equipments and when they have to record a set of real drums, oh well.

Fat Cat Studio is mainly for recording midi equipments, guitars, vocal dubbing and sometimes mixing. when live drums are called for I still have to go to outside studio and tranfer the file back to FC. I have spent enough time here to fully master the sound and deliver some really good sounding albums.

I usually reserve the studio for my own production only and seldom rent it out for outside job. But if you have some interesting projects and you need my production skill, try emailing to me and maybe we can work something out.

People always ask me why I call my stdio Fat Cat, here's why: I proudly introduce to you my studio manager Tom. He spent most of his time under my mixing console and he takes care of everything animal-related.

And also meet his friend Higgie, a cat who thinks that she's a human being, that is a talkative human being. She enjoys nagging me but I never get a word she says.
