A Word About the Studio

The work environment in my homestudio has been evolving with the incredible and fast moving technology around computer based music.

And yet, an important tool remains unchanged: a pen and paper.

But then of course, because great sounds can generate ideas and because fantastic sound designers (like Eric Persing or Troels Folmann) are a endless source of inspiration, the studio evolves around some great sound libraries.

In the process of composing I also use the MC Control to ease the workflow, and access all Cubase’s functions much faster.

In the mixing process, I mostly use the UAD-2 Solo pluggins, and the Vienna Suite plugins.
To distort sounds or for delay FX, i mostly use Audiodamage plugins.
To automate parameters, I then use both the MC Mix and the MC Control

Note - I sell my - je vends:
Novation Zero SL and a Stagg Mic Stand.
I can ship the Zero SL, but the Mic Stand, you’ll have to pick it up. Je peux envoyer la Zero SL mais le pied de micro, il faudra venir le chercher (Genève, CH ou Gex, F)
