Santa Monica, CA-March 13, 2007- Uber-successful scoring engineer Malcolm Luker’s impressive rack of Apogee gear is beginning to measure up to his never-ending list of credits. Partnered with his eldest son Jamie, the Luker team swear by their ten AD and DA-16Xs and 5 Rosetta 800s, all with X-HD cards, and 3 Big Bens using one HD6 and two HD2 rigs. With consistent feedback on the great sound quality of their mixes from the industry, Malcolm and Jamie continue to trust Apogee.

Although he would be able to discern the superiority of Apogee’s quality himself, it is the positive return his work generates that reinforces his decision to be an Apogee devotee. Luker says, “We used the Apogees on the Denzel Washington movie “Deja Vu”, and I am very pleased to have heard from people in the industry that the music sounded great in the movie theatre. That’s due to Harry Gregson Williams, who wrote the score, and the use of the best equipment available.”

In addition to working on Jim Carey’s latest film, “The Number 23” and the upcoming “Shrek 3”, Malcolm and Jamie recently collaborated with Sir Anthony Hopkins on “Slipstream”, who not only stars in and directs the film, but also composed the score. Malcolm recalls Hopkins as a man who “humbly introduces himself as Tony, a nicer and more appreciative man would be very hard to find.”

For “Slipstream”, Luker says, “We scored the film at Todd AO using the Apogees, and mixed it using our three rigs with Apogees. It is interesting to note that the recording desk at Todd AO has the ability to bypass the recording media with the touch of one button, enabling a perfect A/B comparison between direct and any recording media. At 88.2kHz we could not perceive any collapsing of image through the Apogees, as opposed to another brand of convertors which will remain nameless. I am glad we made the decision to use Apogee.”
