Deepak Chopra in Studio C

Renowned doctor and author Deepak Chopra has been in the studio with us a number of times over the past month working on both a meditation CD project and an upcoming video game title to be released by Curious Pictures in conjunction with video game giant THQ.  It looks to be a wonderful way to link kids and technology with positive messaging from one of today's more prolific writers on self awareness, kindness and emotional well-being. 

Audio for the game was recorded using a Sennheiser 416 located about 6" from Mr. Chopra. Additional audio for the project was slated to be recorded in New York City at SkinnyMan Studios a couple of weeks later, so we needed a configuration that could be matched on both coasts. Studio West co-owner and engineer Mark Kirchner commented, "Mr. Chopra has an interesting voice to record; there's a bit of pronounced "s" that the de-esser doesn't catch - almost like a click.  In working with Mr. Chopra, specific mic placement has been the best solution. He is very nice, and easy to work with, however he likes to get to work right away, so you don't have much time to test setups. It's part of what makes the job exciting and nerve-racking at the same time." We're all excited to see how the game turns out!
