About us

In order to benefit from the practical side of digital editing, the studio is also equipped with a PROTOOLS HD10 station running on Mac Pro 5.1 2020, 12 Core 3.46Ghz / 96Go RAM/, which can be synchronized with other devices.

More specialized in Rock, Pop, Punk, Reggae, Ska, Blues, Funk, the sound of the different pieces corresponds equally well to purely acoustic recordings of the Trad, Jazz, Chanson style, knowing that the work of mixing and mastering or transfer of mix on tape, suitable for any style such as Hip-Hop / Rap, Metal and all diverse and varied world music…


With the same perspective, the studio was designed to favor live takes, in order to capture the emotion of the moment, knowing that all the elements can be isolated and can be reworked after.

Triboulet has been interested in recording and sound techniques since the early 80s, in all the groups he was a part of.
Leaving his job as a computer technician in 1990, he was trained as a sound technician in 1992 to support his knowledge. Specializing particularly at this time in ROCK, PUNK, POP, SKA, he began recording other artists on a 4-track cassette from 1993.
From then on, he will work both in the studio and in live sound systems.
One thing led to another, he acquired equipment, microphones and outboard, and evolved from 4 tracks to an 8 track tape recorder, then 16 tracks to the professional equipment currently available.
In 2000, the Studio de la Trappe association was created as well as the TRIB RECORDS label, in order to share the knowledge and resources at its disposal.
Triboulet has also worked on tour with, among others, DYONISOS, NO ONE IS INNOCENT, HALF JAPANESE (USA), BUBBLIES, NIKKY SUDDEN, SWEET APPLE PIE, ERIC LE CHIEN FOU, BRASSENS’ NOT DEAD…
Currently, Triboulet mainly devotes himself to his work as a sound engineer at the studio.
