    "While the electronics themselves are wonderfully "While the electronics themselves are wonderfully quiet, this device has been designed to introduce colour, character and emotion, taking the idea of their Mojo circuit and blowing it up into a whole new mindset. However, most of what you hear isn’t the conventional amplitude change at all, but the harmonic additions that work to make the sound richer, fuller or brighter, depending which band you’re tweaking. The overall effect is probably best described as the audio equivalent of turning up the colour saturation in photo-editing software: it generally makes the sound more vibrant, musically exciting, and aurally more interesting”. These quotes are from the forthcoming @soundonsoundmag review of the brand new @cranborneaudio Carnaby 500 EQ ($679 MAP 🇨🇦). This product is a 3-band parametric analog EQ for the 500 series, using harmonic saturation to boost and cut frequency content. The idea is it enhances audio with analog harmonic saturation with the feel, familiarity, and control of an EQ. The Carnaby 500 features 3 interactive bands of Harmonic EQ with each band having 10dB of boost/ cut and its own sweepable and overlapping frequency controls. Each band of Carnaby 500 has a unique blend of harmonic content suited to its frequency band to achieve maximum musicality. The HI band has a frequency range from 5kHz all the way to 25kHz and uses smooth saturation to naturally extend high frequencies beyond the audio band for ultimate air and breath on vocals and acoustic instruments. The LO band has a frequency range of 420Hz down to 20Hz and uses hard-clipping saturation to extend sub-harmonic frequencies into the audible low-end - perfect for subtle low-end warming or extreme sub-harmonic saturation. The MID band is a peaking filter with a fixed Q and a wide sweepable frequency range from 200Hz up to 6.2kHz. It uses saturation to add harmonic emphasis to the source anywhere in the frequency range. The Carnaby 500 has a dynamic response and increases in total boost/cut and harmonics as the circuits are driven harder. Limited edition (125 worldwide) Carnaby 500 Legacy also pictured. For $1,769 🇨🇦 it includes 2 Carnaby units and the case. Link in bio!

    We are starting a new series - Staff Member of the We are starting a new series - Staff Member of the Week! In this series we will highlight staff members around the country that are selling YSL Pro products at music stores. These people talk gear all day, and as you'd expect, record and mix as much as they can outside of work. We're looking forward to shining a spotlight on them, and what they are working on. Our first Staff Member of the Week is @jimzolis from @longmcquadepro. Jim recently mixed and mastered the @lenka.lichtenberg album "Thieves of Dreams", which won the Global Music Album of the Year at the recent@thejunoawards. We asked Jim about the album; "I first heard that Lenka had found her Grandmothers journal at the tail end of mixing her previous album. The journal was written in Czech so she would translate some of the poems to me. Her Grandmother, Grandfather and Mother were in the concentration camps and these poems came from the heart on a day by day basis. By the time we started, COVID had hit hard, I loaned Lenka my Neumann u87 and she recorded all her vocals at her farmhouse just outside of Toronto. All the other musicians recorded in their home studios and sent tracks for us to comp. Lenka wanted to be involved every step of the way so we used “AudioMovers” and Skype to get the best sound to her. We comped, edited and aligned all performances and also employed Melodyne sparingly to keep her natural sound and feel. My hardware consisted of a @uaudio Apollo x4 interface with 3 Accelerators for extra plug in power. I'm a big fan of UA plugins so they were used everywhere. The vocal FX send went to 3 different UA reverbs. The master buss processing was also my mastering chain, so we had the luxury of tweaking the mix for the master, instead of trying to improve the song with EQ across the 2 mix. The mastering chain and Lenka's vocal chain are predominantly UA plug-ins. Spring of '22 we were able to get together at Lenka's home to finalize the mix and masters. There were a few changes still to make from my home studio but we nailed the bulk of the sounds that weekend. A big thanks to Lenka, L&M Pro, UA, Audio Movers, YSL Pro, AVID and Apple repair for saving my butt! www.zolisaudio.com
    Our Artist of the Week this week is Luc Boivin, of Our Artist of the Week this week is Luc Boivin, of @studio_redtube in Quebec! Luc is a sound engineer / mixer / producer based in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, on the south shore of Montreal. First a guitarist in several bands of his region from adolescence, his path was naturally oriented towards recording and mixing techniques, from the old 4 track cassette in the early 90s through the Adats in the middle of the same decade, to his current studio, 30 years later. Luc's career as a sound engineer really took off between the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s when the Punk rock scene was in exploding in Quebec. It was at this time that he made his mark behind the console, recording dozens of albums during this period with bands like Capitaine Révolte, Twenty 2, Oversight and Fifty Nutz. A lover of music above all, he began to work with artists of all styles, whether rock, country, folk, progressive, blues, etc. In 2007, he founded his own recording studio, Studio Red Tube. Luc designed the studio with the help of renowned acousticians Jean-Luc Louradour and Tim Hewling. Every effort has been made to create a comfortable and inspiring place from which a warm, relaxed and inspiring atmosphere emerges. This is as true for the place, but also for the staff behind the console, which is why Luc is a meticulous and extremely calm engineer who knows how to put the artists in confidence. “The most important thing for me is always to create a stimulating atmosphere where the musicians are comfortable, without barriers for creation, where we are having fun while keeping the objective well in sight” Since 2007, some of Luc's credits include Echo Kalypso (Félix for album of the year 2012, world music) NOEM, Laurence Doire, Noir Silence, and many many more. In his studio, a mix of classic analog gear and state-of-the-art plugins gives him everything he needs to achieve his motto: Creating a good song remains the main objective. But creating a good song that sounds great really gets to you in your gut! Photos by Jean Martin. Link in bio!

    Our Artist of the Week this week is Brett Paulin! Our Artist of the Week this week is Brett Paulin! Musician and producer Brett Paulin is the owner of Toronto’s Tibet Street Records. @tibet_street_records is a recording studio, venue, and record label catering to Toronto’s experimental and independent artists. Brett got his start playing in Ten Kens (@lastgangent/ @fatcat_records) as the band’s guitarist. At the time Brett joined the band he was working at a recording studio, which allowed the group to experiment and begin recording on their own. After extensive touring and two releases with Ten Kens, Brett and Dan Workman found they were enamoured with the sounds of Andy Stott and experimental electronic music, which lead the pair to create a new project named Adult Day. Today Brett is focused on working with bands and musicians out of the studio of Tibet Street Records. TSR’s live music series is known for the intimate atmosphere with live shows of from incredible bands like @thatjoyfulsound, @projectwhatever, and @poolblood.jpeg.
