Hello everyone, I am Marco, a seasoned musician with over 30 years of experience playing the piano and synthesizers. I specialize in a variety of musical styles including rock, prog metal, neo soul, R&B, funk, and pop, and I have honed my skills to bring a unique and dynamic sound to each performance.
In addition to my skills as a pianist and synthesizer player, I am well-versed in music production and technology. I work with Cubase Pro 12, and I am constantly pushing the limits of my music production software and gear to create new and exciting sounds. I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments, including Omnisphere 2.6, Repro 1/5, Keyscape, GSI - VB3 II, Komplete 13 Ultimate, and many other libraries, which provide me with an array of sounds and options to craft my music.
My collection of gear includes a top-notch desktop PC, the Yamaha MODX6, Seaboard Rise 25, Touché SE, Roland RD-150, and some other controllers.
I am passionate about music and I am dedicated to delivering outstanding performances that will leave a lasting impression. My musical roots in Argentina, combined with my years of experience and cutting-edge tools, make me a versatile and dynamic performer that will strive to bring a fresh and exciting sound to each new project. I work tirelessly to craft music that will move and inspire listeners, and I am committed to delivering the best experience possible.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about my music and performance style, I would be happy to hear from you. I look forward to sharing my musical passion and skills with you soon!

I sent Marco a song that called for some smooth and melo arrangements, and he delivered some smooth harmonies and melodies that color the piano tracks I sent him beautifully. Once again, a great performance by a great musician.

Marco is amazing, very recommended. He was very fast on delivery, the sound effects were top-notch, and he has an incredible taste. Added several things to the song that I had not visualized, and that gave the song another dimension completely. Very professional and great sounding. Really recommended : )
check_circleVerifiedMarco just finished a 13 min medley for me with multiple key switches tempo changes and more. He absolutely nailed it! I can't recommend him enough. a true artist and friend to boot. Communication was stellar as always, and his musicality really works wonders on all my music, that I have the privilege of his keys on:)

Interview with Marco Gnoatto
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A supercomputer with every plugin/library that exists, a good controller, a Hammond, a soundcard and really nice and comfy headphones (cause the birds and sea would upset my hearing if I choose monitors :p)
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use Cubase 10.5 pro in a PC AMD Ryzen 9 3950x, 64Gb of RAM and 2,5Tb of SSD. I mostly use vst libraries (like Omnisphere 2.6, Falcon 2.1, Kontakt), but I have a Komplete audio 6 mili 2 to record audio from the following keys: Yamaha MODX6, Roland RD-150, MicroKorg XL, Korg Kross, Novation XStation.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I'm working and I will continue to work with my wife in a duo as producer and pianist. With my band Savia, we're all friends and they always have something beautiful to share. Also, I did several songs with Jazzy D through SoundBetter and I'm very proud of how those songs are sounding.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm working on recordings, backing tracks, and playing live with a gospel choir.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I would recommend Ezequiel Rivas if you want a killer bass, I played with him a lot and he's truly amazing and has a beautiful gear. Also, I would recommend Jazzy D, whom I met through SoundBetter, it does great productions and he's a top guy.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I always try to play what the customer needs/wants or I won't be happy.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started to play piano at 8, becoming a professor of classical piano and musical theory at 18. I had my first bands in high school. Then I studied jazz, tango and folklore. My career began immediately after that, playing with many and really different bands, recording, making backing tracks, composing for theater plays, etc. So I started to play 32 years ago, but I would say that my career started 20 years ago.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I don't really know how to describe it. It would be a mix of all the styles I learned over the years.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Stevie Wonder, cause he's the God of music to me.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always listen to the other musicians and play with them.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I love all kinds of music, so I want to get involved in recording all genres, always accepting my limitations and staying true to the customers.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I would say creativity.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I try to deliver what the customer and the song need.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I listen to the song a couple of times and then I start to play over the song till I find something. Then I record and listen to it to see if I like it, and then I maybe record a second option to send to the customer so he can choose.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Although I get inspired by a lot of musicians that play all kind of instruments the ones that always get me inspired are Shaun Martin and Cory Henry from Snarky Puppy, and Stevie Wonder.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I record pianos, keys and synths.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: If I can deliver the midi also, and my answer is: "Yeah, no problem".
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That sample-based instruments are inferior to the real ones.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask them if they have any reference music I can listen to, if they can deliver a multitrack, if they know the BPM of the song and some other technical stuff.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I'm a digital guy. I love the portability and the sound now it's amazing.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I will try my best every time and that the job won't end until they are happy with the result.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: To do new things and, thanks to SoundBetter, to be able to do it anywhere in the world.
