"What makes this track really cool and great to learn from is that there are analog synth sounds (Juno-60 and Virus TI-2), digital synths, orchestral Kontakt sounds, as well as real instruments, plus there's a huge vocal on top and a giant dance groove track underneath. All of these different elements will push the students to learn how to properly blend many types of sound into one cohesive mix."

Can't say how much this workshop is valuable to me to reach the next level in my productions! “Man all those little tricks are incredible…” "Absolutely great experience! The best part was working on a song that I actually use in my live sets!" | "I have a lot of respect for the work he has done on some albums, so it was a great experience for me to discover his philosophy and tricks. Being able to see his work on a famous track from an artist I love, and then being able to practice on this track was really the cherry on the cake."

About Luca Pretolesi

Luca stands out among a sea of electronic engineers with his unique hybrid set-up, mixing old and new technology for an end result like no other. In place of a traditional mixing studio, he has created a mix of equipment including computer plugins, and custom made hardware, EQ’s and compressors, and high-end mastering gear. This combination of analog and digital parts allows him to add his touch to any project of any style as he has the best of both technological worlds at his fingertips.
As EDM continues to infiltrate more genres, Luca desires to bring his specialty to the table. From hip-hop to pop, and the continued spread of electronic dance music, he wants to extend his skills to any artist who wants a dynamic track with flair that simply sounds amazing. Yes, mixing, mastering and sound engineering is technical but it is also an art – and Luca Pretolesi is the modern day Da Vinci.

The focus is always on the techniques and thought process behind every mix decision but for those who are curious, Luca will be working primarily with Dangerous Music summing and processing, Focal speakers and Presonus Studio One for his DAW with assorted plugins. What plugins will Luca be using? He'll be using a variety of plugins from Waves, UAD, Fabfilter, Izotope, Slate, etc. Keep in mind it's not about the settings, it's about the theory and techniques he uses that matter most. | How much work does this course require?
