Hi guys, my name is Davide Lepido, I graduated from the NAM Institute in Milan as a Sound Engineer.
I offer recording, mixing and mastering services. I love everything that is played and I pay particular attention to the recording step that I consider indispensable for a good mix. In my studio you can find some great classics like Neumann, AKG, Electronics Labs, SSL and more. I love rock and pop music and I work also on production.

it's like being home...
Davide can understand your needs just in a few minutes.

if you already know "where to go" with your own sound, he takes you exactly there...
if you have no idea "where to go", he explains you all possible ways...
if you have any doubts, he makes everything clear to you (then it's easy to decide any detail).

working with Davide means to achieve personal growth both in technical and artistic field.

Davide? AWESOME.
Great worker, passionate, he loves what he does.
He always tries to understand what you need and, most importantly, he "translates" his technical skills to make you better understand everything he's doing.
And of course the results are top notch

Dave is great. He is professional, methodical, detail-oriented and surely knows his way around mixing, whether it is in or out of the box. He is constantly up-to-date on the latest piece of hardware and software, which allows him to bring the best solution to your mix, always tailored to your needs and vision. When requested, he can also lay down solid tracks performed by himself on various instrument, which is great added value to the production skills. Overall 100% recommended.
