Jean-Baptiste Gerard

Musician trained at the conservatory (cello then guitar), where I acquired my musical sensitivity.

I learned sound technicality during my university and professional studies.

I worked for 21 years at Radio France, as a sound operator and then technical manager.

My non-professional experience allows me to do sound recording, sound effects, and mixing for short films, music recording and mixing (rock, metal, post-rock, punk-rock, brass band, baroque), sound reinforcement, sound effects for theater or video games.

I created the company Pump up le Volume in 2025, to offer my know-how in sound production and to enjoy creating.

I have a soundproof booth for voice recording, with a Neumann microphone.

I use Cubase pro with a studio that allows for podcasting, creation, and sound for picture.

I offer the creation of soundscapes with virtual and acoustic instruments: cello and guitar, whose sound I enjoy shaping. I aim to offer the client a soundscape that matches their product to enhance it.

I clean up recordings to reduce noise, hiss, plosives, wind, clicks, reverb... I can't work miracles but I try to improve.

I do audio editing and mixing. For me, mixing should allow the listener to understand your message without any effort. Intelligibility must be top-notch. I use equalizers and compressors for this.

I do multichannel mixing for DCP exports.

Sound is a vector of emotion.
