Today is a special day:
1 - It's my birthday
2 - Riot released the song that I mixed for their new Champion on League Of Legends.

The music was written and recorded by Brian D'Oliveira here at La Hacienda Creative, where I also mixed and mastered it.

Enjoy it!

A few months ago I mixed a song written and performed by Brian D'Oliveira for the game "Honor Of Kings" from Chinese developer Tencent.
The song is the main theme for the character named Shangguan.
I couldn't find the full song available anywhere, but you can listen to a quick excerpt here.

Enjoy!

I totally forgot to check if the music for the 9th season of "For Honor" was out, and today I found a so-so rip on Youtube.
Music was composed by Luc St-Pierre and mixed by yours truly ;)
Enjoy!

 

A few weeks ago I had a very nice chat with Audio Media Magazine and we talked about the process of working on such a long and demanding project like "Shadow Of The Tomb Raider".

When you have to do whatever it takes to be able to deliver the best possible result on a very small amount of time

Let me tell you a quick story:  

October 2012 I started working with Brian on the Papo & Yo original soundtrack.  

This was his first video-game project and it was as close as I’ve ever been to anything related to soundtracks or video game music.  

Jump a few months ahead, (about summer 2013) and the Tomb Raider reboot was released.  
After playing the game I told Brian: “Dude, I can totally see you working in a Tomb Raider game!!”  
A couple years later, guess which project Brian was invited to pitch to? Yep… you guessed it right… FUCKING TOMB RAIDER!!!!!!!!! 

I always liked to create my own sounds... using outobard FX, or stacking plugins, or recording the sound of a specific track through a room, or through a piece of gear that was not supposed to handle that signal... whatever... try something different.

Which one is the best Neve emulation plugin out there? I have no idea and I want you all to figure out on your own. Click on the post's title or on Read More to get the files.
 

Ok, if 17 years ago when I started trying to record stuff on a 4 track Tascam cassete recorder, someone told me that I would be part of the team responsible for one of my favorite video-game franchises, I would say that was just crazy talk.
