Read MoreAudio engineering is complex and takes a lot of time to master along with finding the right information and technique.
Nothing less than quality productions are delivered here. Specialized in Rock, Metal and Punk. I follow your precise vision.
It is very draining and takes time but once you have a network, it helps accelerating the process towards the release.
I can get you in touch with graphists, editors and professionals that will deliver specifically what you want to obtain.
Streaming platforms don’t pay artists decently and record labels are hard to reach. The competition level is high.
The game has changed but there are effective ways to monetize your music online without breaking the bank.
In fact, you want to get your music out fast without compromising the quality while expanding your fanbase to grow your music career.
I’ve been playing guitar since I’m 10 years old. Saying I have a strong interest for heavy music would be an understatement.
I first started getting involved in the scene when I joined Citizen Vicious at 21 years old. After a couple of years, I decided to equip myself enough to be able to work with the band from home.
As I dug deeper into the world of music production, I developed a fierce hunger. I quickly decided to make a plan. Study everyday and build a project from start to finish on my own. My skills were pushed to the test on many occasions.
I’ve acquired an ASP diploma in 2023 related to music production and business start-up along with many online courses completed along the years to get a certain level of confidence in my work ethic. I also took part and directed studio sessions as a producer/engineer.
My goal is to help you get those recordings out there by bringing a new level of quality to your sound so you can reach a loyal fanbase and offer a final product higher than expectations.
Where I distinguish myself the most from other producers is in my workflow. I use modern techniques such as ”reamping” in creative ways. Who said guitar amplifiers were only made for guitars?
Modern technology remains at the heart of the process while also taking advantage of analog gear for specific applications. Opening a world of possibilities quickly.
A thrash metal record with lots of tracks in the mix.
The challenge was to get a punchy mix while creating a lot of ambiance in the melodic elements.
It’s also a demonstration of my song writing and composition abilities.
The track ”Dawning” is an instrumental rock ballad.
Review:
Hatestinger – Découvrez le 1er EP “Instigator” du one-man band thrash metal québécois – MetalUniverse.netThis mix was part of an online contest. Organized by Christian Kohle on ratemymix.com
I opted for a trashy drum sound and a chamber type of ambiance to fit the old school death metal genre and match the purpose of the song.
To add a little more creativity I recorded 2 guitar solos. Originally there are none.
The promotion video theme song was recently produced, mixed and mastered.
Here’s the full version!
