Mixing Pop Vocals, Being a Problem Solver, and the Value of Unlearning | with Pedro Calloni

Today’s guest is mixing and recording engineer Pedro Calloni. Pedro has recently done mixes for artists such as Gayle, LANY, Sasha Alex Sloan, Chappell Roan, and Joy Oladokun. As well as worked with some of the top music producers in the industry right now such as Dan Nigro and Finneas. We have a great chat about his quick progression from studio runner to label mixer, learning to read a room, the inefficiencies of the record industry, and why it’s more important to aid someone in their musical journey than it is to tell them how it should be done.Travis' Intro: Navigating Social MediaIn this episode we'll dig in on...How "being a fly on the wall" can go too farHow going on tour to play drums led to getting a mixing breakIdentifying what is happening and what needs to happen in order to take something up a notchThe importance of reading a roomWorking at The Village in Los AngelesThe various states that a song might be in when it comes to mixThe Mixer's career path vs the Producer's career pathAttending Berklee College of MusicHow management brings legitimacy to a mixerMixing songs that blew up on TikTok and had to be done immediatelyKnowing when it's the time to learn new tools and when it's notNot being starstruckWorking fast to follow your instinctLearn More About Pedro Calloni...Website: https://www.pedrocalloni.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pedrocalloni/Listen to his work HERE📢 Our Sponsors 📢Listen to Secret Sonics!Sign Up for Complete Producer Network!⬇️ FREE 2025 PLANNING WORKSHOP ⬇️https://www.travisference.com/2025plan📺 WATCH THE SHOW ON YOUTUBE 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@progressionspodConnect with Me:📬 Newsletter: https://www.travisference.com/subscribe📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/progressionspod🎵TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@progressionspod🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/progressionspod🌐 Website: https://www.travisference.com/🙏 Leave a Review or Rating 🙏Apple: https://www.progressionspodcast.com/appleSpotify: https://www.progressionspodcast.com/spotifyCredits:Guest: Pedro CalloniHost: Travis FerenceEditor: Stephen BoydTheme Music: inter.ference
