    JP est un allié exceptionnel. Il a fait le mix et mastering de multiples de mes projets : toujours gentil, toujours dispo, se met à jour constamment, a le son et l’humain vraiment à cœur.

    JP is a professionnal that puts the human before everything… and he makes music sound great. A no brainer for me when I need someone to work on my music.

    JP certainly did one of the best mastering jobs I have ever heard. He was very reliable and answered quickly to all my demands. To top it off, he charges well under what is normally asked for such high quality. Don't even bother looking elsewhere next time you need a mastering job well done!

Interview with JP Villemure

  1. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  2. A: Working in digital gives unmatched precision, speed, and flexibility, allowing for endless creative possibilities

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

  4. A: Don't overthink.

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

  6. A: Indie, mostly rock, pop, and electronic, metal. Sometimes hip-hop—love old school.

  7. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  8. A: Listening in a state of deep presence. Isn’t that what’s most important in my job?

  9. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  10. A: Ideas, feeling, energy, movement, and the impression of a finished work, along with a final quality check for any details that may have been missed.

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

  12. A: I start by receiving the tracks from the client and having a detailed conversation to ensure I understand their vision for the project. I make sure to leave my ego out of the process, as I believe it can be 'heard' in the music. Then, I do some research and compare the tracks with high-quality reference materials to guide the work. I also make sure to take a moment of rest between the first pass and the final listen, giving myself the distance to review with fresh ears before presenting the final version to the client

  13. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  14. A: I’ve built a magnificent, acoustically accurate mixing and mastering room, designed by my good friend Nicolas Grou at Grantham Acoustique. It's located in Sutton, a beautiful village nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. My listening chain is both transparent and warm, with a powerful punch, thanks to the wonderful Neumann KH420. I’m fully happy working 'in the box.' It’s faster, cleaner, and offers more flexibility. I can’t imagine working with hardware, as I’m truly a digital kid at heart.

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

  16. A: I’ve been deeply inspired by the great artists whose work pushed me to pursue the professional path I’m on today : Joy Divison, Sonic Youth, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Tom Waits, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet underground, Rachel's, Beck, Brigitte Fontaine, Gainsbourg, Nick Cave, etc... Mixer. mastering enginners and producers that inspired me by their work : Tchad Blake, Steve Albini, Rick Rubin, Flood, Brian Eno, Butch Vig, Daniel Lanois, etc...

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

  18. A: Throughout my career, I’ve primarily focused on mastering, though I’ve also mastered a wide range of records. From time to time, I mix audio for TV shows, movies, web documentaries, advertisements, and more

Terms Of Service

As much revision as needed to ensure you go to bed with a smile. I work quickly, and turnaround time may vary depending on the complexity of the project and my current workload.
