Nomad Factory’s Bus Driver is an opto compressor with some extra tube saturation.

I haven’t tried it yet, but for the price… it’s worth the download

Izotope has their new delay available for free for a limited time (until March 10th)

I used it already and sounds pretty good for the price, specially the Analog model

This is a video we shot to promote “Little Big Planet 3″‘s new DLC “Journey Home”.

Enjoy

Now we can finally talk about it!!

The DLC “Batgirl: A Matter of Family” is coming out on July 21st for Playstation 4 and Xbox One players.

The music was (just like Harley’s DLC) composed by Brian D’Oliveira and Michael Vickerage and mixed and mastered by me. All the magic happened at La Hacienda Creative around october last year.

I hope players enjoy the music as much as we enjoyed the process of creating it!

You can read more about the DLC here and here.

Batman was always my favourite hero and now I can say that I had a small role on this amazing IP.

“Batman: Arkham Knight” is out today for Playstation 4, XBOX One and Windows (Mac, Linux and SteamOS coming this fall) and I had the pleasure to mix and master the music composed by Brian D’Oliveira and Michael Vickerage at La Hacienda Creative for the “Harley Quinn” DLC.

The process was an amazing learning experience, having a blend of real and virtual instruments, huge track counts and many different intensity stems.

You can have a little hint of the music on the video below, but I’ll try to get a better version where people can really listen to the music and understand how the different intensity stems work during gameplay.

Enjoy

I completely missed the release of LittleBigPlanet’s OST release on iTunes.

I believe it came out in the end of January and it has songs from different composers, including my friend Brian D’Oliveira.

His song is called “Bunkum Lagoon Theme” and was mixed by me, back in 2014. I don’t know who was the mastering engineer though.

This song has a really interesting vibe and we also played a lot with microphone setups, using M/S in a few parts and Brian’s own X/Y  method in others. It’s pretty easy to spot both techniques throughout the song.

You can listen to it on the Youtube video above or you can get it on iTunes

Enjoy!

Unfortunately (or fortunately if they got bought) Camel Audio is deceased.

They won’t sell plugins anymore and if bought one of their awesome plugins, you have until July 7th to download your copy and save it on a very safe place, because you are on your own after that.

CamelPhat is one of my favourite filter/saturation plugs…
