Les Francoeur on SoundBetter

Premium analog mastering for the most discerning artists who demand superior quality. If expensive, polished sound that competes with the sonics and loudness of chart topping hits is what you're after – I surface that in your recordings – skillfully and transparently, as if I was never there. If you don't like it, you don't pay.

Hello! 👋 I provide commercial-quality radio-ready masters that elevate your sound, resonate with your audience and open doors to life changing opportunities.

I also offer a unique stereo mix bus processing service. Just send your mix as-is, and I'll add harmonics, saturation, compression, EQ and stereo widening effects with my carefully curated collection of rare, industry-standard and boutique analog hardware. If mix bus processing wasn't applied during the mixing stage, this process typically makes a night and day difference before we master your song by adding width, depth, dimension and clarity.

Both my mastering and stereo mix bus processing services take digital mixes from sounding like they were recorded at home, to sounding like they were recorded in multi-million dollar studios with top analog equipment.

Give me a try. If you're not 100% satisfied with the results or your experience with me, you don't pay. That's my 100% satisfaction guarantee, and I'm happy to offer it. I'm just that confident in my work and I sincerely care about you, your music and your success. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to work with each and every one of my clients and honored to be part of your art in this way.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to working with you and building a long-lasting relationship you can count on for consistent, quality results. 🙏🏼

    Working with Les Francoeur was a great experience. The masters sound polished, balanced, and powerful while still preserving the character of the mixes. Communication was clear, turnaround was quick, and the results translated beautifully across systems. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be working together again.
