Why Bflat is a true Vietnamese gearslutz!

A few folks have been asking me about my studio work lately. It is all depend with the schedule of my work with Meyer Sound and Vietnam distribution, it is hard for me to tell. I do retreated to the studio to work with projects which I personally like and unique that also bring me lot of challenges.

I don't usually tell people what kind of gears or equipments I used in my studio but in Vietnam, that is the first question folks usually ask. I would rather give them my demo reel than to tell them what I got in the studio. Anyway, I want to use this opportunity to list my gears.
