Reviews
A course by Luca Petricca
Luca Petricca is a sound technician and music producer with more than 20 years of experience, as well as the cofounder of Estudios Reno in Madrid. After ten years of freelance work as a mixer, associate producer, and technician for different producers in studios across Spain, he created Reno so he could focus on independent music, a section of the industry he connects with on a more personal and emotional level. He has mixed albums and songs for artists like Izal, Xoel López, and León Benavente.
When he's not running his studio or the FOH for live shows, he shares his knowledge of mixing as a professor at the United Pop school in Madrid. By teaching classes, he has found a way to help students interested in sound achieve more professional results and, ultimately, a more satisfying creative experience by showing them how to use a variety of tools and approaches in their work.
