Mixing
The architecture, the acoustic design and the equipment of our recording facility allow us to reach a high-end audio quality.
The combination of digital / analog (outboards, Neve console, monitoring) offers many possibilities in terms of coloration and meets current standards of the Music Industry worldwide.
MASTERING
With outboard gears unanimously acclaimed (Manley, Pendulum, Tube-Tech, Lynx Audio, Antelope Audio…) and a neutral listening environment, our facility is able to handle the finalization of your productions (stereo or stem mastering ).
We master for physical supports (CD, Vinyls) and digital distribution platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Youtube, iTunes…).
Music Production
PEach artistic project is unique and calls for the greatest attention.
We combine the know-hows of our team of Senior producers with efficient tools to transform your projects into professional productions.
Our composers, arrangers and lyricists of different genres (such as électro, rock, black music, urban…) are by your side to support you help you make the best choices.
Sound Design
Sound, although invisible, is a major part of every video production.
Sound Design consists of creating or highlighting emotions through sound.
From the simple door slam to the most complex FX’s , sound design is an art in its own right which will bring the relief necessary to the credibility of your productions.
Mobile Studio
In the interest of certain projects, when it is for example about capturing the sound soul of a place, it is sometimes better or even necessary to do an on-site recording.
In this context, we developed a mobile recording unit, allowing us to guarantee optimal quality of capture, no matter the place, no matter the conditions.
