AUDIO BRANDING AGENCY
Vert Foncé is a sound design agency founded in 1985. We grew up with Publicis and Renault, BETC and Peugeot, Ogilvy and Bristol-Myers, Accor, Air France, Nintendo and many others...
and maybe with you.
We like to invent atmospheres and emotions through distinctive and personal musical compositions. From complex sound design to orchestral score writing, we take the time to create your sound branding.
But we don't just make musical notes. We can develop the entire sound strategy that defines a brand, such as writing better storytelling for audio, translating and recording in 40 languages, preparing your voice casting, or recording outdoor atmospheres.
We create for web, TV, cinema, radio, telephone, museums, events and more.
Services
Over the years, we have refined and improved the various processes of the audio production. We place great attention on creating new sounds, selecting unique voice-overs, precise art direction and high definition recordings with the warmth of vintage audio.
Our recording studio is equipped with the latest digital audio technology and surround mixing facilities.
We can record in Paris, Tours and Lisbon.
We can also provide you with cost-effective copyright management solutions.
For more information on our services, to understand your project and to listen to sound samples related to your request, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Facilities
Mixing
SSL mixing consoles are found in many of the world's leading recording and post-production studios. We have chosen the legendary sound of the high-end SSL AWS console for their dynamics and accuracy. And for recording, we use Studer or Siemens preamps, very close to the feeling of the vinyl recording.
Console SSL AWS, Studer 961, Siemens germanium preamp, Grace Design…
Recording
We have been working for over 20 years with Pro Tools software, the standard in the music and television industry. 4 Pro Tools workstations allow us to record, edit, transform and even exchange sessions created all over the world.
Pro Tools Ultimate, Acon Digital, converters Euphonix madi, SSL...
Listening
To adjust the sound to the new listening systems, earpods, smartphones, connected speakers or surround sound, the mixes are controlled on several speakers and headphones.
ATC surround monitoring, Duntech Marquis mastering, Avantone mixcube
Headphones: Focal Utopia, Sennheiser HD800, Sony SA5000...
Capturing
Because each voice or instrument has its own colour, we select the most appropriate microphone for each situation from our selection of more than 20 references: tube microphone, ribbon microphone, condenser or surround microphone.
Neumann, Sony, Violet Design, Sennheiser, Coles, Soundfield…
Sculpting
To sculpt the sound, we have selected a range of analogue processors, whose sound is difficult to reproduce digitally.
Magnasync G803, EMT 266x, Chandler, Looptrotter, Thermionic Culture…
But we also use must-have or lesser-known digital effects to explore unknown sound atmospheres.
Digital hardware: Sony DRE-S777, Kurzweil KSP8, Eventide 2016, Lexicon 300…
Plugin: Acoustica audio, United plugins, Audiothing, Unfiltered Audio, Fuse Audio Labs…
Composing
We like to create memorable melodies by layering the sounds of vintage samplers with the richness of virtual hybrid synthesizers. However, we can also record a real Steinway piano or a string quartet.
