Luis "Lu" Moreno is a mixing and mastering engineer, the co-founder of In The Mix Studios, and the founder of MidSide Sound, based in LA, CA, USA! In our conversation Lu and I go deep on the following:
Work/life balance
Becoming an audio engineer
Creating community and being a "Go-Giver"
How Lu and Dee Kei met
Low end theory
It’s the ear, not the gear
Revisions
How he masters his own mixes
Monitoring
Pokemon cards as an incentive to grow
Prioritizing your relationships over your career
And so much more!
