HOW THE PROJECT WORKS

You tell me about your project: genre, references, expectations, and deadline.

Together, we define the artistic goals and direction.

ABOUT

At the origin of the studio, Julien Meirone developed his passion for sound through his own musical projects as a guitarist for over 20 years.

Based in Auriol, between Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, SmashTone Studio has been supporting artists in bringing their musical projects to life for more than ten years.

Trained at L’Éden Studio in La Ciotat and holding a Master’s degree in music education, Julien has refined both his technical and artistic expertise to offer a tailored approach to every project.

His mixing work was recognized with a Special Prize at the 17th HOFA Xmas Mix Contest.

Julien taught Pro Tools for over two years at EanovSchool, a school specialized in audio professions, and he still shares that knowledge through mix audits and online coaching. Every project is handled with the same level of care in a professionally calibrated studio environment, ensuring reliable decisions across all playback systems.

The goal is simple: use technique in service of the music, and bring out the strongest possible sonic identity of each artist.
