"In a Room Full of Broken Glass" – the new EP from Outlier is out now on all streaming platforms!

This release is packed with powerful raw emotions, killer drum fills, and lyrics that hit straight to the heart.

I’m proud to have been part of Outlier’s second release — they keep delivering incredible songs, and it’s always a pleasure working with such skilled artists.

If you haven’t given it a listen yet, go check it out and enjoy!

Work done: recording, mixing, mastering.

Here’s a sneak peek at the reamping setup for False Gods LP3. This is hands down the heaviest and purest tone I’ve ever achieved with real amps. Running two cabinets from a single amp let us capture the best characteristics of each speaker: the 4x12 for massive bottom and sparkling top end, and the Zilla 2x12 for tight, punchy mids. The new songs we’re working on do not disappoint. Shoutout to Yuqiao Man for lending me some of his gear for the summer!

Petit aperçu du setup de reamping pour False Gods LP3. C’est de loin les tones les plus heavy que j’aie jamais obtenus avec de vrais amplis. Utiliser deux cabs sur un seul ampli nous a permis de tirer le meilleur de chaque speaker : le 4x12 pour un low end massif et un top end très clair, et le Zilla 2x12 pour des mids super tight. Les nouvelles tracks sur lesquelles on travaille ne déçoivent pas. Un grand merci à Yuqiao Man pour m’avoir prêté une partie de son gear pour l’été!

Salut ! C'est Antony de Nova Sounds à St-Jean-sur-Richelieu 🇨🇦. Je voulais juste vous partager un peu ce que vous trouverez dans ma control room si vous cherchez un spot pour votre musique :

Pour l'écoute, j'ai des moniteurs Barefoot Footprint 01 et j'ai vraiment soigné l'acoustique. L'idée, c'est qu'on entende tout clairement pour bien travailler le mix, sans mauvaises surprises. 🎧

Capture audio
Pour les préamplis, on a du lourd avec le SSL PureDrive Quad, le Focusrite ISA TWO, le Focusrite Octopre, et le Warm Audio WA87. Ça assure des prises de son claires et pleines pour tout ce qu'on enregistre.

Instruments et production
Côté guitares, il y a pas mal de choix pour s'amuser : un classique Peavey 6505+, mais aussi l'Axe FX II, Quad Cortex, les plugins Neural DSP et STL Tones, et une bonne gang de pédales. On devrait être capable de trouver le son que vous avez en tête ! 🎸🔥

Notre ordi est aussi bien garni avec des librairies comme Kontakt, East West Composer Cloud, Heavyocity, et Omnisphere pour la composition. Et pour le mix/master, on roule Pro Tools avec une foule de plugins de chez Waves, Slate Digital, Plugin Alliance, FabFilter et bien d'autres.

Ambiance
Pour l'ambiance, j'essaie de garder ça relax et cozy. Le but, c'est que vous vous sentiez à l'aise pour être créatifs, sans flafla. 🛋️✨

En gros, c'est un environnement que j'ai voulu optimiser pour bien bo**er et capter le meilleur de vos tounes. 🎙️

Si ça vous parle ou si vous avez des questions sur votre projet, gênez-vous pas pour m'écrire un message ! 📩 Ça me ferait plaisir d'en jaser avec vous.

Just wrapped up an insane recording session with the homies from Outlier at Nova Sounds Recording over the past two weekends – these guys do not mess around.

We locked in some massive drum sounds during these sessions. That DW snare had such a crisp snap to it – pure punch! With a killer kit and an absolute beast behind the drums, the results were next level. 🔥🥁

Big shoutout to Daniel Smilovitch for absolutely crushing it on the kit – always a pleasure working with such a skilled and solid musician. 🤟

More to come… stay tuned.

Cab is about 70% of the tone. It makes sense to have many options handy when it comes to reamping. Glad of this recent addition Orange PPC412 to my collection.

This weekend, I had the pleasure of working with and on their new single. We laid down some insanely heavy tracks—it's going to be brutal! Always great to collaborate with such amazing people. Make sure to check them out if you haven’t already! 🤘

Had a tone of fun recording drums and vocals for lostinusband at the studio. The songs were pretty intense rythme wise and had tons of very tricky patterns to play. Yet, lebby_7 killed it and laid down killer takes nonetheless. Just the raw tones are phenomenal. Looking forward to mix those 2 songs and show everyone what we accomplished. Big shoutout to saarim_8string and morksamad for their perfomance on the mic. If you haven’t yet, go check them out!

This weekend was very busy at the studio, but I had a blast working on drums for 's and .qc's next single. Despite some speed bumps, we managed to achieve some kick-ass drum tones. I'm really proud of the work put into both tracks. Huge shoutout to Steve Harlall for enduring the scorching heat caused by the faulty heating unit, and to .nrdrms for powering through the lengthy recording takes.

Final shoutout to for lending me some mics to complement the setup and for offering great tips on tuning and room placement.

Booking is open for February & March 2025!
