1KHZ
One studio, and the tools we needed.
1KHZ is a sound post-production studio in Rosemère, founded by Matt Nantel and Mélodie Després. We record, edit and mix sound for film, television and advertising. We also write the software we could not buy anywhere else.

L'équipe
The people behind 1KHZ
Matt Nantel
Sound Recordist / Sound engineer
Matt Nantel is the owner of 1KHZ. First known for his talents as a music composer, his works have contributed to the success of thousands of projects around the world via the Premium Beat platform. His passion for cinema, but above all his love for the sound aspect of it, led him to continue his development towards sound production and audio post-production. His attention to detail makes his approach to the development of atmospheres and sound effects truly unique.
And in the spirit of going even further and better meeting the needs of his clients, Matt also became a sound recordist, member of AQTIS, to take advantage of the maximum possibilities of each project. His sensitivity and ability to adjust to his clients' needs make him a collaborator that many cannot live without!
Mélodie Després
Coordinator / Business Development / Narrator
Mélodie is a professional singer and holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Montreal. She combined her passions by joining forces with Matt Nantel to create Notes Productions.
Mélodie is passionate about communications, she loves the challenge and above all being attentive to the needs of her collaborators through the various projects of Notes Productions.
Always available and dedicated, she ensures optimal conditions for each step of the pre-production, production and post-production process. She organizes the schedule and coordinates the deadlines, but she is also in the studio to record narrations or characters and even some melodic lines or vocal harmonies if needed!
Our story
From a basement to a room built to spec
In 2008, 1KHZ got its start under the name Notes Productions, in a suburban basement in the Laurentians. In 2014, needing more space and an address closer to Montreal, the studio moved to Rosemère, just minutes from the commuter train. In 2018, to meet sound post-production standards, 1KHZ built a control room with acoustics designed by John H. Brandt, the very room we still work in today.
In June 2025, Notes Productions changed its name and became 1KHZ. This name is a direct reference to the kilohertz, a frequency essential to the world of sound. Used to test, calibrate, and synchronize picture, it symbolizes precision, reliability, and expertise!
