Choose the Right DAC for EDM Mixing & Mastering | Luca Pretolesi

Get the inside scoop from dance music engineer and sonic wizard Luca Pretolesi as he shares his top 3 reasons for choosing a digital audio converter (DAC) for his hybrid analog and digital ‘Studio DMI’ in Las Vegas—where Steve Aoki, Diplo, 2 Chainz and others get their hit dance tracks mixed and mastered. Luca’s ultimate DAC has a ‘no hype’ conversion quality, with a natural sound. He wants a converter that will translate multiple sources and switch seamlessly between inputs with zero latency. Lastly he requires precise metering so when mastering an EDM track he can accurately balance loudness with dynamics. Luca chose the Dangerous CONVERT-2 and CONVERT-8 DACs because they deliver on all three of his mixing and mastering needs. “The initial conversion from digital to analog is crucial, I want to have the best possible source from the beginning of my mixing chain to the end. Whatever I do after that conversion is going to amplify what is right or what is not right,” says Luca pointing out his most critical need in a DAC. Engineer Luca Pretolesi, of Studio DMI in Las Vegas, uses his musicianship for mixing and mastering. Taking tracks to an entirely new level. His approach is artistic, bringing a fresh perspective to songs and releasing the emotion that can be buried beneath unpolished sounds. He is able to enhance the music and create a masterpiece beyond the original vision of the artist/producer. Hailing from Italy where the genre was born, dance music is second nature to him. At 16 years old he was in school learning to perfect his craft as electronic music was gaining mainstream popularity, Luca has now perfected the art of mixing and mastering electronic music with over 25 years experience. He has created a collection of equipment including computer plugins, and custom made hardware, EQ’s and compressors, and high end mastering gear. This combination of analog and digital allows him to add his touch to any project of any style as he has the best of both technological worlds at his fingertips. Pretolesi devotes all of his energy to mixing and mastering the final product – not the creation of the rough draft. Comparable to viewing a local channel vs. high-definition, he creates sounds that you can see, and takes one-dimensional tracks and gives them depth and separation, and turns music into an ‘iMax movie’ experience. After mixing a track for an artist on Dim Mak Records, Steve Aoki picked up the polished delivery of the track. Aoki then hired Pretolesi to mix/master his entire album ‘Wonderland’ – a project that lead to a Grammy nod for Pretolesi and opened the door to work for the biggest names in Dance Music. Recent clients include Diplo, along with side projects Major Lazer and Jack U; Borgeous, Lil Jon, Pegboard Nerds, Gareth Emery, and Snoop Lion’s “Reincarnated” album which also went on to receive a Grammy nomination. Pretolesi has also worked with TJR, Cedric Gervais, Borgore, Morgan Page, 2 Chainz, and KSHMR, just to name a few to complete their works.
