The space: studio and team

Three rooms, a small team and a simple idea: good conditions to play in.

The studio

A former workshop turned studio

The Amidonniers district takes its name from the starch works that once lined the Garonne. Our studio occupies the ground floor of one of these brick buildings, set back on a courtyard. We rebuilt it entirely as a "box within a box": floating floors, double doors, decoupled walls. Street noise stays outside, drum sound stays inside.

We kept the brick where it sounds good, in the live room, and treated the rest for precise listening in the control room. The result: a warm place to play and a reliable place to make decisions.

The rooms

Three separately treated rooms

Live room — 38 m²

Exposed brick walls, treated ceiling, movable panels to adjust reverberation. It hosts a five-piece band recording at the same time.

Control room

Analogue console, nearfield and main monitors, glass onto the live room. Measured acoustic treatment for reliable listening.

Vocal booth

Isolated, treated booth with a screen for dubbing and adjustable lighting. Ideal for singing, voiceover and two-person podcasts.

The team

Two engineers, one contact per project

Julien Carrère, President of the company, sound engineer. He handles band recordings, mixing and mastering, and teaches the mixing lessons.

Inès Laporte, sound engineer. She handles dubbing, voiceover and podcasts, and teaches the recording lessons.

For each project, one of them remains your contact from the first call to delivery. When a session musician or a voice actor is needed, we work with independent professionals whose fee appears in the quote.
