Secret Sonics 117 - Nicholas Di Lorenzo - Pushing Boundaries Beyond Mastering

Secret Sonics 117.png

Nicholas Di Lorenzo is a mastering engineer and the owner of Panorama Mixing and Mastering based out of Melbourne, Australia! In our second conversation on the podcast Nick talks about creating content for his YouTube channel and podcast and we go deep on how he uses his content to better serve the artists he works with. We also talk about not being afraid of acting on your ideas, setting boundaries versus going above and beyond to serve your clients, and we dive deep into his approach to mastering in the "Sauce" segment where we further breakdown last week's song and get the full picture including mastering involved! Check it out!
