Mixing and recording engineer based in Paris, France. Over the past ten years I've had the pleasure of working with great bands and artists such as Tinariwen ( Grammy nominated for the albums Elwan and Amadjar ), The National, Amadou et Mariam, Bon Voyage Organisation,...
I have made my career as a recording engineer, working in famous commercial studios in Paris and around the world. This year, I decided to focus more on mixing.
I work mainly in my own studio (the one you see in the picture), I built it two years ago and I know it very well.
My experience has allowed me to acquire technical skills and to understand that communication is essential at every step of the process.

Interview with Thomas Bunio
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm mixing an Armenian rock band called Hey Djan that I produced and recorded.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Do what you want and don't think about what people might say. Sometimes you are wrong, but who cares?!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work mainly on indie pop and world music, but I enjoy working in all genres.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Understand the client's needs.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Of course I bring a "professional quality" to the sound, but I don't think my job is to bring anything else. The song tells you what to do. I'm only there to accompany the artists on the long journey of a record.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Whether I'm recording or mixing, the goal is to understand the artist's vision, so I start with a little discussion. After that, if I'm mixing, I check the material I received. Now it's time to organize the session by listening to the rough mix, if there is one. Once everything is in order, I mix for about an hour, trying to get a good balance. Then I go into detail until I'm satisfied enough to let the client listen to the song. I wait for feedback and work on the mix until the client is completely satisfied.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix 90% in the box and use my outboard gear for very specific stuff. I have a vast collection of plugins. I use Protools running on a Mac with an Antelope Galaxy interface. For monitoring I mainly use my Quested V3110.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm a big Dijon fan right now and if we're talking about producers, I have to admit that Jack Antonoff is amazing!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mainly on the recording side but i'm focusing on mixing right now.
