<\/a><\/p>\nBoth studio and control rooms are suspended on floating floors with fully-ducted, acoustically-dampened, ultra-quiet air-conditioning. Professional as that may sound on paper, making that control room sound professional in reality involved installing some premier professional audio equipment, evidently. At its heart is a discrete analogue mixer designed by one of the most trusted names in pro audio, perfectly partnered with industry performance overachiever ATC\u2019s flagship SCM300ASL PRO<\/a> three-way active professional series loudspeakers as its main monitoring system. \u201cThey were highly recommended by one of my senior engineers,\u201d explains Rennie. \u201cWe had heard a pair in another facility and were very impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n And first impressions can count now more than ever in today\u2019s tightly-constrained recording world, which is exactly why those SCM300ASL PROs have been paying dividends for Yellow Box Studios from the get-go: \u201cThe response has been mind-blowing \u2014 even more so from the audio professionals that have set foot in the room. In this day and age of huge compromises in sound production, because of tight budgets, we are proving that paying a little more does, indeed, go a long way. Engineers and musicians are bringing in their favourite mic pres, amps, and other gizmos to test in our room, and they\u2019re amazed at the results. We\u2019re finally able to do large-format recording, helped by having the SCM300s in a room that best compliments their sound, because being able to hear an accurate bottom end matters so much when you\u2019re doing large string sessions and band recordings. In a sense, we are bringing back the romance of a great recording experience without any compromise \u2014 sort of a dying art, really.\u201d<\/p>\n Reasons Rennie: \u201cAs for the music scene in Singapore and the region in general, let\u2019s just say we\u2019re still optimistic as we\u2019ve already had some amazing compliments about the recording room and how accurate everything sounds, which is exactly what we were striving for in the first place.\u201d Thanks to ATC\u2019s SCM300ASL PRO three-way active professional series loudspeakers, what sounds good for Yellow Box Studios is also a good thing for its host nation, it seems: \u201cSingapore has never really had a state-of-the-art facility for audio like this one, where film and music are merged. We foresaw this convergence of media a long time ago, and now music and picture are prevalent in all interactive and traditional media, so having such a facility also attracts mid-level to high-end projects to our shores as more and more projects we work on are for an international audience. There\u2019s always a certain kind of magic that happens when I see film producers and directors meet with bands and music producers in the same building. I think it\u2019s called\u2026 collaboration!\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of which, Yellow Box Studios\u2019 collaboration with ATC was also deemed a resounding success at an all-important installation level, too. \u201cThe installation went very well,\u201d wraps up Rennie on another uplifting note. \u201cIt was basically a case of set up and go, with not many tweaks needed as the system suits the room so well.\u201d That it does. And, as a direct result of that fateful first listening session and subsequent sizeable installation investment, Yellow Box Studios can hear clearly now and forevermore with their new ATC300 ASL PROs.<\/p>\n
