About

HELLO ANd Welcome

My name is Lutz Luikart and I am the CEO and founder of SoundTek Studio.

I studied audio engineering at SAE Institute Stuttgart. I am specialized in dynamic game sound, so my research paper and practical thesis were about this topic. I take my inspiration from all different kinds of music. However, I am an appreciator of Soundtracks from Hans Zimmer, Two Steps from Hell, ELFL, and Vangelis. Videogames have also always been a big part of my life.

The Studio provides a project-focused work environment with a separate recording room for high-quality recordings. SoundTek supports and uses DAWs like Ableton Live 10 Suite and Studio One 6 Pro. Additionally, I use Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 10, the iZotope Production-Suite, and some Waves VST-Plugins from the Platinum Pack.

In my studio, I am composing and producing Soundtracks (Sampler, Synthesizer, and Studio-Recording), field-recording for Atmo, and Sound effects.

I'm also working with FMOD Studio for the implementation of sound for 3D applications and videogames in Game-Engines like Unreal Engine 4 and of course the new Unreal Engine 5 or Unity 3D.

Building the Church of Jesus is what I love to do - so I am working on it by helping with my knowledge about audio engineering. That mostly happens in the APIS Community (Altpietistische Gemeinschaft) as a Sound-Engineer for all kinds of services and events. I am always on the search for churches, communities, and organizations that hold up the name of Jesus - get new contacts, and inspiration, and be a blessing to the church.
I am also active in the "Esther Ministries" e.V. as a volunteer. Here I'm in the "A-Team" (Awareness Team) and helping out with craftwork and logistical tasks.
