Recently held in Seoul, Creators Camp Seoul brought together a select group of professional music producers, mixing engineers, and creators actively working across commercial music, recording, and post-production.
This approach positioned the camp firmly within the professional domain, where accuracy, consistency, and trust in the monitoring environment are essential.
Speakers Whose Experience Defines the Camp’s Value
The credibility of Creators Camp Seoul was underscored by the stature of its speakers, each bringing extensive real-world experience from the highest levels of the industry.
David Yungin Kim
A three-time Grammy Award winner and mixing engineer and producer, David Yungin Kim has worked extensively on international recording projects. His sessions focused on the recording stage, emphasising that many critical sonic decisions are made long before mixing begins. From microphone choices to performance selection and comping, his approach highlighted how early decisions shape the final outcome.
Kim Do-gyun (Austin Doque)
An active mixing engineer and producer working across the Korean and international markets, Austin Doque shared his practical workflow, moving from traditional console-based mixing to modern hybrid structures. His sessions addressed dynamic control, bus architecture, and density management—topics central to contemporary professional production.

A Trusted Monitoring Reference: Quested VQ3110
Its role was not to influence creative direction, but to ensure that every decision was made on a clear and dependable reference.
When the Monitor Steps Out of the Way
In professional environments, the most effective monitoring systems are often the least conspicuous. Their value lies in enabling confident decisions rather than drawing attention to themselves.
At Creators Camp Seoul, the VQ3110 allowed participants from different backgrounds to communicate using a shared reference, reducing uncertainty and keeping the focus on music and technique. Extended listening sessions and high sound pressure levels were handled with consistency and low fatigue—key requirements in intensive working conditions.
A Natural Fit in a Professional Context
Creators Camp Seoul was not designed as a platform for equipment demonstration. Yet, in an environment where experienced professionals scrutinise every detail, the tools that remain in place are often the most revealing.
The selection of Quested VQ3110 as the main monitoring system was a natural outcome of the camp’s professional requirements, offering a dependable foundation for critical listening and informed discussion.
In contexts where decisions truly matter, accuracy remains the most valuable attribute of all.
