    I've worked with Marco on many projects and all the work has been stellar. On this production, I was hitting a creative block and asked Marco for some production/arrangement/mastering assistance and he made the song come alive. Super happy.

    I was not an easy client for Marco because I am very demanding but he knew how to stay professional until the end and made all the necessary changes to make my music sound perfect. I am very grateful because the result is beyond my expectations. I strongly recommend him, you can't be disappointed! Thanks again Marco for your patience and the time you put into this work.

Interview with Marco Donnarumma

  1. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  2. A: My clients' productions here on Soundbetter but also my personal project music, I release a song every 3 weeks :) It's going pretty well getting a lot of support from other artists of my genre.

  3. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  4. A: I always ask if they have any preferences in term of sound. Choosing a reference track is a good move to understand each other in an objective way.

  5. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  6. A: Customers usually want to listen something I made in the genre they're asking for, if it's something I never had the chance to work with and I am sure I can do it I just tell them to check my feedbacks. I am not worried of accepting something I have never worked on in terms of genre. I am a very experienced listened first, so I always like to bush my personal boundaries.

  7. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  8. A: I usually work on all kind of electronic music.

  9. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  10. A: I am super organised and I like to have everything under control, my workflow can be methodic but at the same time I can be creative breaking the rules when needed.

  11. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  12. A: I bring to a song my 15 years of professional music production experience, that is refreshed every day with long listening sessions. In this way I know what the actual trends are and were and I can mix these with the artist needs.

  13. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  14. A: Full satisfaction, knowledge and results within deadlines :)

  15. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  16. A: Ghost Production and Mixing and Mastering

  17. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  18. A: Luca Pretolesi is one of the best mixing and mastering engineer ever. It's cool that he's on Soundbetter too!

  19. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  20. A: That I can't do anything else than electronic music. I work and listen to all kind of music.

  21. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  22. A: I produce music for 18 years. During this path I had the change to take care of all the music production related aspects, like making sample packs, presets, sound design, mix and master etc. I also have some skills in promotion and music business.

  23. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  24. A: Obviously my dream collab would be with Skrillex, he never miss a hit and he's so unique!

  25. Q: What's your typical work process?

  26. A: I do my best to start working on a track from scratch already having in mind what I wanna get and how. The idea has to be clear and effective since the very beginning of the session.

  27. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  28. A: A mixture of them. Analog is warmer and musical but digital is limitless.

  29. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  30. A: If you have a clear and precise idea of what you need, it will be a pleasure to work together. I used to work with reference track for my clients, but I can also involve my own ideas if you want to.

  31. Q: How would you describe your style?

  32. A: I can be fire, I can be water :)

  33. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  34. A: The main idea is the most important thing when producing a song, so make sure you have an effective and clear idea and lay it down very fast. Skills are useless if you are not saying anything new with your music.

  35. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  36. A: I like to make music. Even if I have to work on something I don't like, it's a good chance to learn something new and to wider my horizons.

  37. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  38. A: Other than myths, laptop and headphones are enough :)

  39. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  40. A: Skrillex is a very talented producer, he brought an underground genre of music to be mainstream, and now he cover a very wide range of genres, keeping his identity. That's the answer.
