Episode 578 – Music Collaboration With Dominic Castro And Gary Lux of SyncDNA

Powered by RedCircle

Online music collaboration is for many the holy grail for efficiently working in a home studio. 

The problem is that most tools that are available suffer from latency that makes true collaboration impossible. 

SyncDNA is the first online platform that allows frame-accurate synchronization of collaborators anywhere in the world.

Co-founders Dominic Castro and Gary Lux joined me to discuss SyncDNA and how it’s been helping mixers, musicians, composers, directors and producers do their jobs more easily.

Dominic and Gary are not tech guys trying to adapt to the music business, by the way. Dominic is a music producer, mixer, and sound editor with an impressive list of mixing credits for artists like Halsey, Jay-Z, Shawn Mendes, Universal Pictures, Netflix, Amazon, and many more.

Gary is a prominent Hollywood music mixer with a wide range of credits that includes artists like Usher, Keith Urban, Sting, and Janet Jackson among many others. He also served as the head music mixer for Universal Studios, where he received two Emmy nominations. He is widely known for his expertise in Dolby Atmos immersive mixing. 

During the interview we talked about overcoming latency and distance limitations, SyncDNA’s impact on music and film collaboration, the platform’s cost structure and subscription plans, and much more.

I spoke with Dominic and Gary from their studios in Los Angeles.
