MIME Unit is a sound production cum recording studio based in the east of Singapore. It focuses on the niche market of budget recording for bands and musical artists who need quality sounding recordings without the substantially high budget that it takes to fund for such a project.
It does not pretend to be the best there is, neither does it humble itself by claiming to be the worst. It offers what it offers: using good yet affordable equipment, and a decade of sound experience to produce good quality sound recordings that bands and artists can be proud of, yet at a price that is almost as affordable as going to a few weeks of jamming sessions.
If you and/or your bands are students, in full-time national service, folks who earn enough to feed a family but not feed a passion, or just someone who is looking for a cheaper alternative in general, MIME Unit is for you.

Armen Rizal Rahman interest in music caught fire when he first dabbled with audio editing and sound producing during his studies at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. The idea of being able to manipulate sound was fascinating to him, and soon begins the journey that took him further and deeper into the arts of audio. Armed with a minimally equipped personal desktop computer, and a karaoke microphone, he produced two demos in the space of two years (Orbital Nocturne and A Prologue to Genre), under a pseudo identity, Ubermensch...

Greetings, readers.
Although I have been making music since 1999, I would only credit my pursuit into the art of sound crafting and aural production intensively for the past 4 years. Yet, there is much that I have yet to cover. The daunting task of ploughing through this field of sound knowledge can be rather intimidating for someone who is pretty much self taught. However, experience is usually the best educator, and I have sincerely learned much in my pursuit to perfect my craft over the years.
The effort of education has paid off. I founded The House of Anonymous, mixed for various acts like Sirens and Passenger Service, as well produce music for various films and videos. With a desire for me to pursue music as a career, I started out MIME Unit with a focus niche on affordable, inexpensive music producing for the mass who aren't looking to have SUPERB recording; just something decent enough that won't conjure embarrassment.
However, I do not feel that it is enough to just give a service. I believe that people need more than service; they need knowledge, a better understanding of how things work or CAN work. I took up the suggestion of a friend and decided to create this blog; as a testimony to the knowledge that I have learned, the ideas that I have manifested, the aural experiments that I have exercised and the gears I have acquire or wish to acquire.
This beyond-the-book blog will touch upon topics on musical instrumentation, home recording gears and softwares, and recording and producing techniques. This is partially a personal blog that is meant to be self-teaching tool. However, it is also partially a commentary tutorial on producing as well, as I wish to share my entries with whoever it is that is in the same journey as I am. I'm sure the extra company would be a plus to us.
I do have to put this disclaimer in: I am no expert. I am only sharing what I know, to the best of my knowledge and ability, so errors are probably inevitable. If there are things to correct, correct me if you will. However, when it comes to music and sound, I know for sure there is never an absolute, so don't try to say that yours is.
Neither is this blog a Recording for Dummies blog, so this place is not for the absolute noob. Sorry, but that's just how it is. If you are really interested to do audio recording, there are plenty of resources and reading now available in the library, book stores, and internet that you can gorge yourself on to understand the basics on hardware and softwares that you need to start things out (and you should be doing that by now).
Basically, if you know how to stick a mic into your system and then able to record and replay it back without a problem and is just looking to make it sound better, then this is the place for you. If you don't even know what a microphone is, please do your necessary reading.
Ok, so now that is out of the way. Let the discovery begin!
Sincerely,
Armen
