Too bad the sound quality sucks, ...it would have been very cool to hear his master output and not a signal picked up from a room mic.

Why do all these videos use the microphone audio rather than plugging directly into the mix... You'd think a magazine/youtube channel focused on music, production, and audio engineering would take this into account.

[KevinStCroix]

Always love watching Luca. This was priceless.

[jacknote]

Always a big inspiration.
Thank you Luca.

Love learning this stuff, there should be more videos like this on mixing from FM. (I do agree with most that the audio should come from the master output though, especially with all the nuance involved in mixing) All in all great video!

[na_der]

Luca the amazing generous legend! Thnx FM!

[mkvBKING]

I've rewatched this 20 times and learn something new everytime

[therealOXOC]

[sugarpuppies]

Holy S. what a kickass video. I'm watching this again a few times... so many cool techniques

[JrumBeats]

I believe I saw Luca on Pensados Place, love his work and that set up is god like lol. Jelly. Side note, system audio would have been way better at hearing the A/B's not the video/room mics. None the less, grateful for the content, bless up!

[gustavokoshikumo]

Its a trombone boss. You are the best at mixing EDM for real.

[ArthurStone]

Hey - very nice set-up Luca...and good demo of process. Thanks : -)

[Tjmont]

Luca really knows what he is talking about. Love watching videos of this guy. Articulates everything really well. Hey Future, how about getting Andre Sobota on an 'In The Studio' Video. you know it makes sense.

Hi Future Music, it was really cool if you upload his video again with only his DAW, you cant see what he is doing.
