Mayday Studio chooses Solid State Logic

TAIWAN: A Solid State Logic AWS 900+ SE Console/Controller has been installed within the private recording facility of Taiwanese Mandopop group Mayday as part of a comprehensive studio upgrade.
Crafting a mixture of rock and Mandopop, Mayday have achieved popularity in Asian countries such as China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan, and also in Western Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia. The group has won Best Band three times at the Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, and typically use their private facility – dubbed Mayday Studio – for rehearsing as well as recording. The facility has been designed around the concept of working in analogue whilst maintaining DAW control from the console.
‘We recently installed the AWS at our studio and everyone from Mayday’s five group members to other artists, producers and engineers have been amazed by the sound of the console,’ declared Jay Huang, record and mix engineer for Mayday Studio. ‘We used to work in-the-box through a dedicated controller for our Pro Tools system and we would spend a lot of time trying to fine-tune the tone and sonic imaging of each track. When we first ran audio through the AWS, the sound quality was excellent right from the start. The console gave us the ability to craft sound rather than fix sound as with the controller.’
