    Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2021, I released my first single ever: Bouncy<\/em>. It was my first attempt at piano house and I was very happy with the fact that it has a 90s vibe in some places (because of the Korg M1 piano sample I used) and a much more modern twist elsewhere (the bassline and drums are groovy and the dubstep bridge, well, hits hard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then, in 2022, I composed a new track for the launch of the unit I was working at called Bonzour Tou Dimounn<\/em>. I was inspired by an existing royalty-free song which had been purchased by the office. I created a much extended version of the track with a new bridge, a new chorus, me playing my trusty ravann<\/em> and short vocals from Christina (from Mauritius), Allen (from Seychelles) and Daniel (from Rodrigues).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2023, I launched California<\/em> as a 3rd single and I realised that I had the skeleton of an album. From June to September 2023, I worked extensively on composing five additional tracks and Forth, my fourth album, which is also about me moving forth (forward), was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technical details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Composed and recorded using Cockos REAPER, UVI Falcon & its sound\/sample libraries, Roland Cloud JUNO-60 and KV331 Audio SynthMaster 2 extensively. I also used XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2, Plugin Alliance DS Thorn & bx_oberhausen, Roland Cloud JUNO-106, D-50 & ZENOLOGY and Native Instruments FM8, Guitar Rig 6 & Playbox. Many times, I used Plugin Alliance DS Tantra 2 and Waves Brauer Motion to transform the sounds and make them more interesting. Hardware used include a Focusrite 4i4 Audio Interface, my old Kawai K4, an M-Audio Oxygen 61 MK IV and an AKAI Professional MPK mini mk3 as controllers and a pair of Yamaha HS5 studio monitors and Sony Professional MDR-7506 headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mixed using Waves SSL Channel Strip, Waves NLS Channel and NLS Buss initially then I moved to a combination of SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and SSL Native X-Saturator v6. I used LetiMix GainMatch extensively for gain staging, Waves H-Comp for side chain compression when needed, Soundtoys EchoBoy for delay and both Waves IR1 and SSL Native FlexVerb for reverb. I also used Plugin Boutique Scaler 2 a few times as a source of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For mastering, I spent time looking for a good reference track and then took time to create a great mastering chain based on the Plugin Alliance TBTECH Kirchhoff-EQ, Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR Nova GE, Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR SlickEQ M followed by the Plugin Alliance Shadow Hills Class A Mastering Comp, Plugin Alliance AMEK EQ 200, Soundtheory Gullfoss Master and Waves Magma BB Tubes. For final limiting to -1 dBFS and overall punch, I used the quite phenomenal Softube Weiss MM-1 Mastering Maximizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For monitoring, I used Waves Nx Ocean Way Nashville (when listening through my Sony Professional MDR-7506 headphones) and Plugin Alliance TBTECH Kirchhoff-EQ (for EQing my Yamaha HS5 studio monitors as per REW’s recommendations). For metering, I was happy with Youlean Youlean Loudness Meter 2 and Plugin Alliance ADPTR MetricAB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am very happy with the sound quality of Forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
