    Our Artist of the Week this week is Francis Mineau Our Artist of the Week this week is Francis Mineau. "Je joue de la musique depuis l’âge de sept ans. J’ai passé plus de 10 années sur la route avec mon groupe Malajube quelque part en 2000-2010. Ensuite, je me suis lancé dans divers projets solo et j’ai commencé à accompagner des artistes tels que Peter Peter, Pierre Lapointe et Les soeurs Boulay. Je co-réalise présentement l’album à paraître de Lucill (les photos en studio viennent de ces sessions d’enregistrement), j’accompagne Hugo Mudie à la basse et je prépare la sortie d’un disque instrumental avec un groupe de grunge (!) que j’ai avec Dumas et Jonathan Dauphinais. J’ai aussi joué et enregistré les drums de Late Bloomers, le plus récent album de Sunfields, ici à la maison, et j’ai mixé la moitié des chansons de l’album. J’utilise principalement une console T1202 de WBS et les convertisseurs de deux @uaudio Apollo 8 en série pour enregistrer, auxquels s’ajoute une Satellite Octo lors du mix." Sunfields : https://sunfieldsband.bandcamp.com/album/late-bloomers Lucill. : https://lucill.bandcamp.com/ Mudie : https://www.hugomudie.com/ "I’ve been playing music for a while. Mostly drums. Spent 10 years recording and touring with my band Malajube, back in the 2000-2010’s. Then did some solo projects and began to accompany various artists such as Peter Peter, Pierre Lapointe, Elisapie and Les soeurs Boulay. I also record, mix and produce. I’m currently co-producing Lucill’s second upcoming album (studio shots were taken from Lucill’s recording sessions), while playing bass with Mudie and preparing an instrumental album with this « grunge band » (!) I have with Dumas and Jonathan Dauphinais. I played and recorded drums at my own homestudio, then mixed half of the latest Sunfields album Late bloomers, released a couple weeks ago. I mainly use a T1202 WBS console and the converters of 2 Universal Audio Apollo 8's for recording. I add a Satellite Octo for mixing."

Monitoring with real-time processing and being able to record incredible tone from the best emulations has raised the bar for me, and anyone I've worked with. Recently, it's been so fun to bring all of that to sessions with my pal @friendgineer in some incredible upcoming projects with the @walkofftheearth team. So excited to share with y'all!

Asking Noah of what his favourite recent purchase was; "Just acquired the @rupertneve 542 Tape Emulator and even though I have a bunch of tape machine this unit does something they don't. It's a beast of it's own. My favourite EQ is my Neve 2087 mastering EQ. It's rare as it gets and nothing sounds quite like it."

    Our Artist of the Week this week is Andrew Hermant Our Artist of the Week this week is Andrew Hermant, the founder and principal designer of one of Canada's foremost recording facilities, Manta Sound Company. Andrew ('Andy') has been working in the Music Industry for the past 50 + years. A professional musician (formal training at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto), record producer, recording engineer and studio owner/operator, his experience uniquely qualifies him to handle a variety of music production projects with confidence, professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm. In his capacity as one of Canada's top engineer/producers, Andy has been involved with numerous radio and television commercials, feature film scores (including "Moonstruck"), IMAX films and album recording projects. Andy has been audio consultant on a number of television shows/films including The Cucumber Show, Today's Special, the Juno Awards and the Gemini award winning "In the Key of Oscar". As one of only a handful of Canadian engineer/producers equally at ease with large orchestral, jazz and pop/rock sessions, Andy continues to be a busy engineer/producer working primarily out of his personal studio “1:2:1 Recording”. In addition to his engineering and producing activities, Andy was head of post production at CBC's Toronto Broadcast Centre for 12½ years and is currently on the faculty of Harris Institute in Toronto. Andy's studio, "1:2:1 Recording", is a ‘hybrid’ configuration; "I work ‘in-the-box’ but output to a summing mixer, which gives me a lot of ‘analogue’ warmth. In this configuration, DA and AD converters are of prime importance, and a lot of I/O is required. I also love the ubiquity of Ethernet connectivity for computers (and audio over IP ) of all shapes and sizes, PC or Mac. @mergingtech Horus and Hapi are great solutions for me in this regard. I love good plugins though, and @uaudio are the best!" "Here’s a link to an album I produced, recorded, mixed and played on from my group Rubberneck. “Maybe Tomorrow” you might recognize as the theme to TV series “ The Littlest Hobo”, which Terry kindly indulged me to sing it again for the album. Enjoy!" https://tidal.com/browse/track/92623671

More importantly, it sounds clean and capable in practice, and has more than enough ‘welly’ to drive high‑impedance cans..." . "The Mojo processor was everything I expected, a real pleasure. And that you can use this not just as a mic/instrument preamp but also as a line‑level processor when mixing really increases the EC1’s appeal and value for money. In short, I’m smitten all over again." Link in bio!

    @directout PRODIGY.MP in action at Rick Camp's Mas @directout PRODIGY.MP in action at Rick Camp's Master Mix Live studio in Las Vegas (USA) 🗞️ Nice article by Mix Magazine ➖ When Rick Camp conducted a test earlier this year with German networking and bridging solutions developer DirectOut Technologies to stream multitrack audio across 5,800 miles using standard Internet connections in real time, the results were impressive. ➖ “I said, ‘I want to be able to mix somebody’s show from my studio in real time.’ They said, ‘No problem.’” ➖ The results were everything that Camp had hoped for, even with a reported 32 switch hops in the path and using his regular Internet service provider, which offers a 200 Mbps download speed with 20 Mbps on the upload. “I brought everything into Pro Tools, recorded it, and while I was recording it, I was mixing it live back to Luca (Italy) in stereo and 7.1.4, in under two seconds,” he says. ➖ “I’m always looking for the newest, latest, greatest thing,” he concludes. “But I don’t just jump on anything; I had to be convinced.” This time, the proof was in the streaming. ➖ #directout #prodigy_series #globcon #vivivaldy #master_mix_live #mix_magazine
