It was a pleasant surprise to finally see/hear this single I mixed and mastered from Brazilian singer Isa Roth out in the digital world!

I hope you enjoy and support alternative artists that do their best to get their music out there!

Cheers

There you go!

Drum mics were just cheap Shure PG mics  

- PG52 on the kick  
- PG56 on the snare and toms  
- Schoeps clones as overheads  

All mics went into a Roland-R88 audio recorder, no computer involved, one-take type of deal. 

Enjoy!

Another one from May 2020!

This came out also in May: 

It's a cover of Helmet's "Exactly What You Wanted", one of my favourite songs of one of my favourite bands.

It's been a while since I posted here about "Shadow Of The Tomb Raider".

After spending a bunch of time without posting here, I had two big news in two days :)
Brian D'Oliveira scored the Netflix original show "Gentefied" and I had the pleasure to mix all his music AND work as music editor for the whole show!!!

It was great working with the team in Los Angeles and seeing pros like mixer Karol Urban doing their magic! Inspiring for sure!!

Enjoy the trailer!!

It's been a couple of years since we started working on this very cool project with our friends at Typhoon !!

Brian has come up with a Space-Cowboy-Sci-fi signature that fits the game perfectly and is very fun to listen to without the game as well.

So, go take a listen and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

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.
