From Successful Rock Frontman to Full-time Audio Engineer and Instructor
In this Spotlight, we sat down with David Gnozzi of MixBusTV. The story behind his emergence as a YouTube Audio Guru begins all the way back in his home country of Italy, with several surprising turns along the way.
Part I: the Publishing agreement from Hell
From fronting a band and coping with a heartbreaking publishing deal to transitioning into full-time audio engineer, David’s journey gives us insight into how he came to develop his style and sensibilities as an engineer and musician.
Part II: David's Hybrid Analog/Digital Workflow
David details his workflow techniques and highlights his thoughts on the analog vs. in-the-box debate. By combining both of these methods David has developed a uniquely modern yet classic approach to mixing.
Part III: David's favorite Gear
David shows off his studio, highlighting a few of his favorite mixing & mastering tools. Gear isn’t something he takes lightly—he goes to great lengths to stay up-to-date with the newest innovations, consider what they can bring, and put them through the paces by demoing them alongside the rest of his gear before committing to an integration.
