Yeah, I am an API lover… it's my go-to EQ and bus compressor.
In this video, you'll hear some of the API EQ emulations out there.
You can download the screenshot of the EQ curves here
Enjoy!
 

Alright,
Although I missed posting the individual singles when they came out, here is the post for the release of the full EP we started recording over 3 years ago!
I'm happy it's out there in the world!
I hope you all enjoy it!
 

Canadian band The Superstitions has a new single out (actually it came out about a month ago, oops) and it's called "What's Left Of Me".
You can read more about the recordings here
Enjoy!
 

This is a good one, mainly because I was part of the whole process, from rehearsal, to tracking, mixing and mastering AND because it is NOT my typical rock/metal type of project that you see here often.
We tracked the song's rhythm section live and Hotel2Tango in Montreal, overdubs were made at Music Salad's studio, and all that in just a few weeks, from start to finish.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

The Helios 69 is one of my favorite UAD emulations (I've been using it since their “Legacy” Helios strip) and a while ago I bought Acustica Audio's take on the Helios 69, called Viridian.

Then I started using Analog Obsession's HLE-SE free take on the same EQ and a couple of days ago, Lindell Audio put out their 69 Channel Strip which I was really looking forward to trying.

The EQ curves do not match between those 4 plugins, some of them a VERY different, some of them a pretty close but I am certain you will hear the differences between them, even going through Youtube's audio compression.

Let me know your thoughts in the video comments!

This is a new mix for the official release of “Peanut Butter”

You can listen to the single on all digital platforms.

Enjoy!

And if you want to know more about the recording, I made a post about it a few months ago, just click here to read it.

Last year I had the pleasure to spend an afternoon inside a normal rehearsal room  with some extra-talented musician friends (Thiago Castro on Drums, Lucas Barnery on Guitar, and Thiago Baumgarten on Bass) and that afternoon generated two awesome tunes, this one linked below and a fully live jam, named “Peanut Butter” 
 

A few months ago I went to a rehearsal room with three long-time friends and amazing musicians from Salvador, Bahia - Brazil.
They jammed for a few hours and two songs came out of that jam. This is one of those songs.
The setup was pretty simple:
Universal Audio Apollo x8p and another silver face Apollo.
All tracks were recorded through API Legacy strips and Studer A800 tape, all committed to the recording.
No samples were used.
The guitar was recorded direct via a Kemper and the bass was also recorded direct, no amps in the room.
Enjoy,

Welcome to 2023,
The first release of the year comes out as a single of an EP I had the pleasure to play drums for, and engineer the recordings for the rest of the instrumentals during the pandemic.
Tracks were mixed and mastered using UA's LUNA.
Drums were tracked in a low-ceiling basement using a UA Apollo x8p with 8 channels of API Legacy strips via UNISON. Tracks were EQ'd and compressed "to tape".
- RE20 on the kick
- i5 on the snare
- 421 for toms and floor toms
- Ribbons for overheads
Guitars were recorded through an amp and DI, the same for the bass tracks with the added Darkglass B7K (main bass tone) track. 
I hope you enjoy it!

This one was released a few months ago (June 4th, 2022) but somehow I totally forgot to post it here.

Enjoy,
 

This is another long-distance collaboration project.

Many years later, this beautiful album is available for the public to enjoy!
Most of the music was recorded over 5 years ago, focusing on getting a vintage sound (since it was going to be mixed in mono and it was supposed to emulate the vibe from the late 30s Hollywood orchestras and that was a great fun experience.
Now, I remixed the new versions of the music (with more modern-sounding overdubs) and focusing on getting a more contemporary sound during mixing.
I hope you enjoy it!

In the eighth episode, I'm showing the Universal Audio's LUNA session where I re-mixed the 2006 track "A Real Love Song (Que Grind É Esse, Amor)" from Brazilian band Yun-Fat.

In the sixth episode, I'm showing the Universal Audio's LUNA session where I re-mixed the 2005 track "Redemoinhos" from Brazilian band Mirabolix.

The new Resident Evil, Village, is out now.

A while ago I was fortunate enough to engineer the recording sessions with CAPCOM's audio team responsible for this amazing project!

We tracked various different sources that would be used by the team to create sound effects for the game.

Enjoy their announcement trailer below

Last month I recorded Hubert Proulx in a more "home-recording" setup and this is the final result. 
Everything you hear is recorded through a Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII and the vocals came through an EV RE-20 
Enjoy it on all major digital platforms now!

A few weeks ago I recorded Hubert Proulx in a more "home-recording" setup and this is the final result.
Everything you hear is recorded through a Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII and the vocals are through an EV RE-20
Enjoy in all major digital platforms now!

I totally forgot to mention here that Acustica Audio featured me on one of their social media posts (Instagram and Facebook)

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to record Montreal artist Catherine Dagenais on a live session at a very cozy shared workspace/artist loft named L'Orbite
The song was mixed by my friend Sacha Daoud.
