iCanStudioLive Multimedia Studio in Jakarta Chooses PreSonus for Full Solution

iCanStudioLive Multimedia Studio in Jakarta Chooses PreSonus for Full Solution October 29,2015

[This just in from Lucy Willar, Co-Founder of iCanStudioLive. She took the time to answer a Q&A from Laz Harris, our very own Asia-Pacific Sales Manager, to tell us a bit about what makes iCanStudioLive lead the A/V production industry in Jakarta-and how PreSonus is a part of it!]

What is iCanStudioLive? What was the inspiration for the name?

Lucy: iCanStudioLive is the leading audio/video live recording producer in Indonesia. We produce quality content every day, and provide a one-stop solution from creative design to pre- and post-production and digital distribution. Our production team works very closely with quality talent to create unique programs to attract the global netizen. We're located in Jakarta. Please feel free to visit our fully-equipped studio!

The inspiration for the name came from our ability to do everything at one place-integrated and digital. Once you enter our studio, you will immediately think, I can do this! I can do that! I can do everything I want! Also, coincidentally, our other founder, Irsan Wallad's nickname is Ican. So it was a perfect match with his vision on live recording, too. Then we named our studio iCanStudioLive -all one word, please!

What does your studio specialize in? Who do you cater to?

Lucy: We specialize in live recording, and help with concept and creative design for both audio and video. We are the first, and now leading the industry in live recording. We cater to skillful musicians, younger musicians, and prodigies. Case study: Joey Alexander, who is now becoming very popular in the USA.

Who is iCanStudioLive? (your team, their roles)

Lucy: We have full team: A General Manager who takes care of all studio activities, a Program Manager who take care of all programs-existing and future ideas. We've also have a Creative Manager who takes care of production, and a Post-Production Manager who takes care of post-production audio/video. Last but not least we have a two-person editor team, five production assistants for audio and video, general affairs, security, etc. All told, we are 16 people.

Whose vision was it to start the studio? When did it start?

Lucy: It's Ican's vision. He started this dream 15 years ago while doing his own business in multimedia.

Can you give us some information about why you have chosen the complete PreSonus solution over all of the available choices?

Lucy: PreSonus offers a single integrated control system for both live performance and recording.

Can you give us an explanation as to how it's all hooked up? Perhaps explain a bit about the wiring between the control room and studio and your basic signal flow?

Lucy: Capture 2.0 makes for easy multi-tracking and routing channels from the StudioLive to the DAW. For live use, we make heavy use of the Fat Channel in the StudioLive console mixer-it allows us to control Gate, EQ, and Compression when used for front-of-house. Furthermore, we can color the live sound with the StudioLive's built-in FX. On the other hand, for studio recording-we need everything kept FLAT at the source, and the StudioLive's clean preamps provide excellent clarity with no audible coloration. It's great for both applications.

Last but not least, perhaps some background on Ichan, how he got into audio, etc.

Lucy: Ican fell in love with music when he was nine years old, and got started with multimedia when he was 13. His parents worked at a multinational company (Mobil Oil) as a joint venture between Japan, Indonesia and US. After getting a degree in architecture, he started doing live recording in 2007, and was eventually invited to record the local Symphony Orchestra in 2011. He built iCanStudioLive in the same year. Now he's recording almost every day!

Thank you Laz! It's great to be one big family and we are looking forward to work closer for years to come.

Best regards,

Lucy Willar
