Secret Sonics 118 - Antonia Gauci - Dedicating Herself to the Music

Antonia Gauci is a mixing engineer, music producer, and artist based out of Sydney, Australia! In our conversation, Antonia talks about balancing her engineering and artistic paths, as well as her approach to vocal production and mixing. She goes deep on her approach to reverb, reverb automation, and going out of the box. We also talk about dedicating herself to the music she works on, finding management, and practicing self-care! Check it out!
