Loris “P-Road” Proad is an Italian mix & mastering engineer and acoustic-analysis specialist helping artists turn ideas into records that compete on today’s platforms. From his hybrid analog/digital P-Road Studio near Rome, he delivers modern punch, vocal clarity, and tight low-end that travels well from earbuds to arenas.
Credits include Leila Pari (opened for Coldplay with H.E.R.), Ryan Leigh (90k+ monthly listeners), MusaStone, and a growing roster of US-based indie-pop, hip-hop, and R&B artists. He trained with Illangelo and Jaycen Joshua, and observed the workflow of top mixers such as Andrew Scheps, Chris Lord-Alge, and Sonny Digital—lessons he channels into decisive, musical moves rather than endless tweaking.
Beyond mixing and mastering, Loris is a room-acoustics expert. He designs and calibrates studios using evidence-based measurements (ISO-3382 metrics, RT60 targets, SBIR mitigation, modal control), delivering clear reports, 3D panel layouts, and before/after diagnostics so clients hear the truth of their music. His philosophy is simple: if the room lies, the mix dies. Fix the room, then finish the record.
