In today's video we do a studio tour of DMI, talk to people who work there and had a rather lovely time doing so. We were able to have a chat with 3X Grammy-Nominated mixing & Mastering Engineer Luca Pretolesi! he has been in the business for a while now and has worked with the likes of Skrillex, Diplo, Bruno Mars, Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, MakJ and more. Born in Genova, Italy, Pretolesi now calls Las Vegas and Studio DMI home.
The newest part of Studio I is the speakers there are Focal Trio11 be's in the left and right corners and it's hard to describe the result of the actual room sound with the Trio11. The Trio11 be has the expensive tone of Hi-Fi speakers that but with precise detail separation between mid-range, upper-midrange and top. - It is so pleasing, Luca works an average of 7-8 hours at 90 dB's and said "They are so good!"
As you know we have the same Focals and what is interesting is when we flatten out all our speakers so they all have the "same response" and these Focals always have the smoothest high-end. - there's something about them that allows you to work for long periods of time.
We're living in a world where there isn't a massive budget to mix one song the reality is you might be working on a lot of songs per day!

I'm amazed by how many Studio One users are out there today. I'm a Steinberg user since Cubase XT and at one moment I thought that nothing can ever compete with Cubase. It still is an amazing product, but so is Studio One, Sonar, Reaper, etc. Nothing to be ashamed of nowadays if you are a non-PT user. Whatever works for you, is the best DAW.

Hes not just pro, he like that next level pro, future sound, changing the way we produce music kind of $h!t. I tend to bounce between the rock and edm worlds in my music, and between warren and luca I have been making the best tracks of my career. Much respect and love to both of you!

One of the most "difficult" issues is when the artist/band has a mix they are "in love" with & you do a mix that is so much better balanced & aurally appealing, but the artist/band is hung up on their version (but no one else likes it!) It's a funny dynamic with people & their perspective of their work.

Techno and House started in the bedrooms of Detroit and Chicago/New York... Europe gave the sound love when America wouldn’t ... EDM began on Wall Street when the Majors were losing hold on listenership to the Global Underground... (they tried it once with the term “Electronica“… Didn’t work) Also to happen concurrently was the advent of digital streaming and the death of the record store ...
