MIME Unit is a sound production cum recording studio based in the east of Singapore. It focuses on the niche market of budget recording for bands and musical artists who need quality sounding recordings without the substantially high budget that it takes to fund for such a project.
It does not pretend to be the best there is, neither does it humble itself by claiming to be the worst. It offers what it offers: using good yet affordable equipment, and a decade of sound experience to produce good quality sound recordings that bands and artists can be proud of, yet at a price that is almost as affordable as going to a few weeks of jamming sessions.
If you and/or your bands are students, in full-time national service, folks who earn enough to feed a family but not feed a passion, or just someone who is looking for a cheaper alternative in general, MIME Unit is for you.

Armen Rizal Rahman interest in music caught fire when he first dabbled with audio editing and sound producing during his studies at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. The idea of being able to manipulate sound was fascinating to him, and soon begins the journey that took him further and deeper into the arts of audio. Armed with a minimally equipped personal desktop computer, and a karaoke microphone, he produced two demos in the space of two years (Orbital Nocturne and A Prologue to Genre), under a pseudo identity, Ubermensch...

| Why are we open to consignments and trade-ins? | | 5:31 AM |
| | | | | |
Unlike the other big studios in Singapore, we are but a small business with little to no financial capital to begin with. Thus, equipment upgrades and the likes are few and far in between. To keep up with the demands of recording and producing, we are in heavy need of equipments and gears which can help us achieve the best possible results.
By paying through consignments or trade ins, you are helping us grow. And thus it is just as appreciated as being paid through monetary means.
However, there is of course certain requirements that needs to be adhered to in order for the item to be accepted for consignment or trade:
- The item HAS to be in 90%-100% cosmetic condition.
- The item HAS to be in 100% working condition.
- The item HAS to be less than 2 years old.
- We accept items that are from and not from the "Kind List". However...
- ... traded items from the "Kind List" will be valued at 75% of its market price. Hence, even if the value of the service rendered is $200 and the item is valued at $200 in the market, we will count the trade in as a $150 value trade in. Artists or bands will have to pay an extra $50 to cover the rest of the cost.
- ... whilst traded items that are NOT from the "Kind List" will be valued at 30% of its market price. Hence, if the value of the service rendered is $200 and the item is valued at $200 in the market, we will count the trade in as a $60 value trade in. Artists or bands will have to pay an extra $140 to cover the rest of the cost.

| Payment modes and method | | 4:58 AM |
| | | | | |
We accept payment made in:
- cash
- cheque
- bank transfer
- partial or full consignment/trade
Consignment/Trade?Yes! You can make payment for the service rendered via consignment or trade-in. For example: A 1 song/10 hr recording package would amount to a price between $150-$200 with MIME Unit. Artists or bands can pay for the service through monetary means, or by trading with a specific item as listed in the " Kind List" (eg a mint condition Tapco Mix 120 mixer). So instead of just paying by cash or monetary means, you have the option to trade in something of equal value to the price prescribed to the service. Now, isn't that convenient?
