Interview with Benoit

  1. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  2. A: I prefer working with digital tools. From a listener's perspective, the difference between analog and digital is often not discernible, and digital technology provides the convenience and flexibility that I find most comfortable and efficient at this point in time. The digital workflow allows me to achieve the results I want without the limitations of physical equipment, and it aligns well with the modern production techniques and requirements of today's music industry.

  3. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  4. A: I would go with a MacBook for production, a reliable pair of headphones, a versatile guitar, a 5G USB modem for connectivity, and an essential audio interface to ensure quality sound capture and processing. These selections would help me stay creative, connected, and productive even in a remote setting.

  5. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  6. A: I started my journey as a sound technician at festivals, then ventured into the realm of cinema as a sound recordist. Eventually, I transitioned into the role of an audiovisual project manager. Throughout these years, I continued working on various projects in my home studio, focusing on rock, metal, and hyperpop genres. As a result, I've accumulated over 12 years of experience in the field.

  7. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  8. A: I'm open to working with any artist who has intriguing ideas and wants to contribute a distinct touch to their music. It's the creative collaboration and the opportunity to bring a unique vision to life that excites me the most. Working with artists who are passionate about pushing boundaries and exploring innovative concepts is something I'm always enthusiastic about.

  9. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  10. A: One music production tip is to create a moment of contrast and impact in your track. Try cutting the instrumental for one measure right before the final chorus. This brief pause can provide a moment of calm before reintroducing the music at full intensity for the last chorus, creating a powerful and impactful musical climax.

  11. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  12. A: I usually work on projects within the Metal, Rock, and Hyperpop genres.

  13. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  14. A: My strongest skill lies in producing music.

  15. Q: What's your typical work process?

  16. A: When I receive tracks from the artist, I start by providing initial feedback on potential modifications regarding structure, arrangement, and tempo. Once these changes are accepted or not, we proceed accordingly.

  17. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  18. A: Over time, I've chosen to simplify my setup as much as possible to be able to work from anywhere in the world during my travels. Currently, I work on a Macbook M2 using a Universal Audio audio interface.

  19. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  20. A: I draw inspiration from artists like Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, and Dayseeker.

  21. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  22. A: I specialize in producing, mixing, and mastering for my clients.
