With Crystal's small capital operations, a completely different approach to that used in the mainstream record business was adopted. They used basic recording methods, like recording during live concerts, to bring down production costs. Live albums by Chen Ming-chang and Chu Yue-hsin (Jutoupi) were all recorded at a cost of only a few thousand New Taiwan dollars.
他們的作品也作成唱片，在水晶小本經營的前提下，採取了與主流商業體制完全不同的經營模式，製作方面以現場演唱收音等陽春錄音方式來壓低成本，例如陳明章和朱約信（豬頭皮）的現場作品集，台幣幾萬元就完成錄音。
