Mixing Mastery and Fatherhood in the Indie Music Trenches with Dante Tweaks

LFTG Radio

When Bronx creativity meets Connecticut's burgeoning music scene, you get Dante Tweaks, a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie music production and engineering. This episode takes you on a journey from the gritty beginnings of ghostwriting in the Bronx to the polished halls of Howell Records, Dante's own studio mecca. With tales of collaboration on the project "Back on my Feet" and an independent hustle with Empire Records, Dante's narrative is punctuated with anecdotes of learning from industry greats, giving listeners a front-row seat to the evolution of a music maestro.
As the conversation shifts gears, I, Elliot Carterr, wax nostalgic about my own production escapades, revealing a penchant for Studio One and the indispensability of Pro Tools for our engineering wizards. Recounting radio days in Staten Island and the current podcast adventures, I draw parallels between the two worlds, focusing on the technical dance involved in delivering seamless audio experiences. This chapter peels back the curtain to reveal the gritty reality of learning the ropes in audio production, where ear-training and adaptability become your best friends.
Looking ahead, we cast a spotlight on the studio's plans for 2024, where amplifying local talents like Fly Boy and Medusa takes precedence. As we chat about the often underappreciated intricacies of mixing and mastering, the conversation underscores the studio's mission of fostering community and making top-tier recording services more accessible. With whispers of a second studio location, the anticipation for what's unfolding in the Connecticut music landscape is palpable. Join us as we weave through the trials, triumphs, and transformative tales of music, fatherhood, and professional ambition that resonate long after the final note fades.
