Luca Pretolesi Mixes EDM Stems with Dangerous Music Gear

This month, engineer Luca Pretolesi is utilizing the Dangerous 2-Bus+ and Convert-8 for mixing EDM stems to add a little something extra.

In part 1 of the mixing video, Luca is working with stems from the artist Borgeous. By separating vocals, effects, bass, percussion, kick drum, high synths, and guitars into stems, Pretolesi can treat each “in a very transparent way but also add some color and texture.”  Luca shows how he uses the built-in analog audio processor circuits from the Dangerous 2-BUS+ for a very simple stem mixing workflow instead of using outboard effects.

Pretolesi builds the song with each buss, explaining his techniques along the way – “Dealing with preprocessed stems is absolutely normal. My routing is essentially the same as working in the box using a bussing system, but instead of sending all the tracks to the master buss I send 8 stereo buss outputs digitally to a pair of Dangerous Music CONVERT-8 D to As, which feed my summing device, the Dangerous 2-BUS+…”
