Shining Star Studio, a live music recording studio that serves the greater Bangkok, Thailand area, recently installed a Solid State Logic AWS 900+ SE console in Studio A.
The studio offers a full complement of microphones, outboard equipment, and instruments to clients and theAWS 900+ SE provides Shining Star Studio the ideal tool to pull all those elements together for clients while controlling their Logic Pro DAW.
“I have always loved the sound of SSL’s SuperAnalogue signal path,” said Pichet Permsubhirunya, owner of Shining Star Studio.
“We have meticulously put together a collection of fine microphones, outboard mic pre amps, EQ, dynamics, reverb and effect units to help us create great sounding recordings.”
“We felt that an analogue console would serve us better as the centerpiece of the control room over a DAW controller and that led us to the AWS 900+ SE.”
“SSL has a great reputation for building quality consoles that are reliable, sound great and are used by the top producers and artists in the world.”
“We believe the AWS 900+ SE carries on that tradition and we are very happy with our choice.”
Shining Star Studio specializes in recording live bands and providing specialty instruments and amplifiers to clients. The AWS 900+ SE streamlines the workflow of recording these electronic instrument to Shining Star’s DAW from the beginning to the end of a project, while providing a solid sonic foundation.
“When we looked at the AWS 900+ SE, we were impressed with the flexibility the console offers,” said Permsubhirunya. We appreciate the comprehensive control of DAW recording, editing and mixing functions right from the console surface.”
“The AWSomation motorized fader mix automation coupled with the Total Recall system for recall of analogue controls really helps with console setup and the running of both ongoing projects and projects that return later on to add material or change a mix.”
“These systems simplify our workflow so we can spend more time focusing on a project.”
“With the AWS 900+ SE, we can [also] address the needs of all our clients in terms of mixing in stereo or surround,” said Permsubhirunya. “While we mainly mix in stereo now, we are finding that our clients are starting to request mixing in surround.”
“We also have requests for 5.1 to stereo down mix. Once again, the AWS 900+ SE is ready to handle any mix situation and this flexibility helps us to service a wider range of clients and that is good for the bottom line.”
