Interview with Lucas Dellaporta
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital; it makes my life much easier when engineering in the studio and especially mixing live shows, but I do also enjoy the use of analog gear when tracking artists/talent
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What type of sound are you looking to achieve? What are your goals for your project/song? How do you envision the final product?
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Metal, but I'm just as well rounded in other types of music as well, including rock, funk, jazz, R&B, classic rock, and even country.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Before recording, make sure that you have a solid plan of attack. A great example of this would be to map out any tempo/time signature changes. Make practice tracks with a click in order to get acclimated so that way you can nail your takes once it comes time to making the recording.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Rhythm, Tightness, Clarity, and Creativity
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My home setup includes JBL MKII-8 studio monitors, Universal Audio Apollo twin quad core interface, Pro Tools Ultimate, Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Slate Digital Plugins, Plugin Alliance Mega Bundle plugins, AKAI MIDI Keyboard
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Nightwish, Kataklysm, Jungle Rot, Stratovarius, Epica, Helloween, Dreamtale, Cattle Decapitation, Arch Enemy, Peter Tägtgren, Jens Borgen
