A R R records abroad only if there is an urgency or if, for example, he is recording the Czech symphony orchestra and it costs more to hire 144 men and women to come and record in India than for him to go to Prague.. The mastering for all Indian projects is done at Panchathan or AM, all the programming usually as well.. If you see people recording in NY etc., it's because the mastering engineers are very good, and usually because the composers just happen to be there at the time..

But what is the need for Music Directors to either record or re-record sounds in abroad like arr doing in london, czech etc.. for indian movies... when ARR himself owns a complete new hi-tech studio to international standards in Chennai. For that sake even other chennai music directors sometimes do record songs & bgms in abroad or other indian cities' studios when there are hi-tech studios in chennai itself. Why is this practice ? or What could be the fact other than reasons like chennai studios are booked for some other movie projects on the dates required. Coz such practice involve heavy expenditure for that producer ?? > > > Mohd Nash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's official now.

With Sivaji, Rajini's will be completing his century in Kollywood. Another interesting fact is, this movie is AVM-Rajini combo's 9 th venture together. Incidentally this is Shankar's 8th movie, which happens to be his lucky number. > > If you suppose Rajini-Shankar-AVM combination is big enough, then think again. Because all the biggies in their respective fields of expertise have worked for Sivaji. Camera by KV Anand, art direction by Thotta Dharani, editing by Antony, dialogues by Sujatha, music by AR Rahman, lyrics by Vaali, Vairamuthu, Na Muthukumar and Pa Vijay and stunts by Peter Haynes just to name a few. > > AR Rahman's hard work seems to have obtained the desired results. As Sivaji's songs, which are repeatedly broadcasted by all radio stations, are now the talk of the town. The movie's BGM and re- recording, which have come out exceptionally well and far more superior have been done at London and Czech Republic's capital Prague. > > Stunt master Peter Haynes' fight scenes have been made aiming at perfection. KV Anand has used the latest technology "Super 35 and 4K." It is the first time that 4K technology is being used for a Tamil movie. Sivaji will also be the first Tamil movie to have more number of prints than ever before. According to the press release every teeny weeny bit of detail is taken care of. > http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/may-07-03/14-05-07- sivaji.html > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
