Francois Lalonde on SoundBetter

World Class Vocal Producer, Recording Engineer, Mix Engineer, Monitor Engineer, Problem Solver, Yogi, Creator of Light

A perfectionist, Lalonde is consistently focused on “the voice,” collaborating as a partner/liaison with whoever is the producer. In working with Dion (who has recorded more than 200 albums) and others, Lalonde’s focus is to meet the vision and delivery expectations of the each and every artist. As Lalonde explains, “75% of the chain is the artist himself. My job is getting out of the way and capturing the artistic passion of each and every musician as well as I can.”On the technical side, Lalonde has made an important contribution to sound quality by developing and using more efficient in-ear monitors, “Ultimate Ears,” model UE7c (Celine Dion) headphones. Lalonde considers “Ultimate Ears” as the “premier” in headphone quality, as they deliver an improved and exceptional balance between the traditional way of mixing and tracking, whether editing in the studio or on the road. According to Lalonde, “Many artists react to what they hear. Based on that, they’ll sing differently, so we have to make sure we have really pristine monitoring. That’s what these new headphones bring.”
