I still remember that trip to New York , I had gone there to visit the Mac World and Harris was there for the composting of Lesa Lesa . He was staying at the Waldorf Astoria hotel and he enthusiastically invited me to his room to show all the goodies he had brought in Sam Ash .
Followed by this I went with Harris to the Museek Messe in Frankfurt in 1998 . This is the year when Vienna symphonic library was launched at the show and Harris was the first Indian composer to buy the original license of VSL .
I have to say this now !! Harris is one among the very few composers in India who uses only original software , he is totally against software piracy and every one of the software he uses in is software is always an original copy . Probably this respect he has towards other creative professionals is keeping his going over all these years as a very successful composer .
The next major upgrade in his studio front is when we purchased a Euphonix S5 Fusion , so the Digidesign ICON was moved to the B studio . Now that Euphonix S5 Fusion requires MADI interface he changed most of his interfaces , he went in for a Prism AD8000 with a Pro Tools card and he did most of the tracking using Prism ’ s pristine ADDA converter .
The soundtrack and background score for Ghajini is one of the best
