Interview with Luke Piziura

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I mix in the digital domain because the instant recall of a project is so easy and I can bring my mixes anywhere I go. I love that classic analogue distortion and warmth you get from all the vintage hardware and I think the modern plugin emulations are doing an outstanding job of simulating that in the digital world.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I'll usually ask for 2 or 3 reference mixes and ask what it is in particular they like about them, whether it's just the way the vocal sits with the guitars or how the snare sound carries the song through. It's all part of the process in seeing the artists vision for the end product.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Green Day, they're the band that really got my into playing and writing music and trying to get the same production values in my own music is what got me into recording and mixing.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: The knob goes to 10, use it!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is in the way I mix drums. Drums to me are what make or break a mix, if you can get the kick and snare sounding right, the rest of the mix just falls into place.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring an added layer of energy and life to a song. What you'll hear is slamming drums, a solid bass tone that sits tightly in the mix and aggressive guitar and vocals that feel as though they're jumping out of the speakers at you.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My setup is using Studio One 3 as my DAW, JBL LSR 308s for monitoring and an assortment of plugins including emulations of such piece of studio gear as the Distressor compressor and the classic SSL EQs.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My big inspirations in mixing have been from Chris Lord-Alge, Andrew Scheps and Neal Avron to name a few.
