EVERY GREAT RECORD STARTS WITH AN IDEA.
BUT NOT EVERY IDEA BECOMES
A RECORD THAT WORKS.
YOURS WILL.
You wrote the song. You recorded the tracks. You put in the work.
And still — the sound feels small, the drums don’t hit, the guitars don’t open up, the vocals don’t sit right. It just doesn’t sound like the records you love.
This is where the real work begins.
No presets. No shortcuts. Just decisions.

This list is for information purposes only.
While we invest heavily in top-tier analog gear, don’t make the mistake of thinking equipment can save a poor production. Great sound starts at the source: great musicians, solid arrangements, and intent.

STAFF
MANUELE PESARESI
Sound Engineer & CEO
Manuele Pesaresi is the owner and sound engineer at Dyne Engine Studio. After a decade of experience in home recording and local productions, in 2012 he laid the foundation to build a professional recording studio with the valuable acoustic advice of Lorenzo Pozzi.
He was the guitarist and founder of Firestorm (Italian progressive metal band) and he is open to different kinds of music in his work as producer/sound engineer with a maniacal attention to detail.
Over the years, he had the pleasure to work in projects with international artists such as James LaBrie (Dream Theater), Uli Kusch (Helloween, Masterplan, Symfonia), Mike LePond (Symphony X) and great producers like Richard Chycki and Jens Bogren.
He is also active in the voice-over business. In June 2014, the Australian actor Richard Roxburgh (Mission: Impossible II, Moulin Rouge!, Van Helsing, Sanctum) recorded at Dyne Engine Studio two episodes of the narrator voice for the TV series “Living With The Enemy” produced by Shine Australia (Masterchef, The Voice, The Bachelor, Embarrassing Bodies …).
Every work done so far in this studio bears his signature, but we are always open to external collaborations.
