choosing recording engineer

it has been a rather tough choice for me to choose my ultimate recording engineer to do the audiophile album. basically, i have three maestros in mind:

1) aik-yew goh, hugo's boss (pun intended), has been so successful that no audiophile can afford not to own a cd from hugo. mr. aik, a singaporean based in hk, has recently hit the bull's eye with his LPCD series of audiophile albums, which include titles like faye wong and alam tam. although not having spoken to him, i highly doubt he has the time to work with us. but you never know. maybe i am so charming that i could persuade him for a collaboration. gotta use my charm.

2) keith yip, the boss of HK audiophile label rock-in music, has produced highly-acclaimed audiophile albums with the likes of susan wong and roxanne lui. he has agreed to do the mastering for us but not the recording. again, i need to persuade him more.

3) leo fung, audiophile guru from HK, who has also agreed to work with us.

i have high regards for mastering legend doug sax (from the mastering lab) as a mastering guru but you should check his rate - it is screamingly exorbitant!

i think the final choice will largely depend on our budget, availability of the maestros and timing.
