Sergei Arzumanov on SoundBetter

The guitarist, producer and sound engineer is ready to feel your music and help you to embody any creative ideas.

As a session guitarist, I have participated in hundreds of recordings by various musicians. If your track requires an electric or acoustic guitar, then I will help to record it, taking into account the musical mood and any of your wishes.

I can record solos or chords, create a powerful guitar background, arrange question-and-answer with vocals, decorate the track with atmospheric soundscape.

I can come up with all the guitar parts myself, or you can send me a reference or send your draft recordings in the form of an audio file or the score of your music.

I will provide a professional level quality track, edited and fully ready for use. The better you explain what you want, the better the result will be.

Please, note:
1. I do not record heavy metal/heavy rock/classical/flamenco.
2. I'm not in the business of finding chords for a vocal line. Please send me a demo track or sheet music with chords and topline ready.

Let's work together!

Interview with Sergei Arzumanov

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: May I be torn apart by tube/analog sound fans, but I work entirely in a digital environment. It is convenient, fast and high quality. In any case, completely analog sound does not exist for a long time, and digital technologies today are great.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I always promise to complete the work on time and with high quality, and I also promise a 100% refund if my work is not to your liking.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Thanks to my work, I have made many friends all over the world, which is great. I recorded different music: Arabic, Chinese, Indian… This experience is very useful for me, because my musical horizons have grown a lot. It's cool!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: At school, I learned to play the piano for several years, and then picked up the guitar. After that I played in various bands and toured a lot. In the early 90's I got a computer and switched to full-time studio work, learning arranging, mixing and producing. As a session guitarist I have recorded over 1500 songs and arranged several hundred songs.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: "The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between." (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart).
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work with most genres of music, however, there are genres in which I am not strong (hard rock and metal, classical, country). Therefore, before starting work, I would like to listen to a demo and decide if I can handle your task.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I always try to follow the emotional mood of the song. When I don't have to play from notes, I create beautiful phrases and chord progression.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually start by listening to the song carefully and writing down the chords on paper. After that, I decide which instrument will sound best for a particular part. After recording, I edit tracks, remove random noises, re-record bad-sounding phrases. Sometimes I practice for a while if the guitar part is hard enough to play immediately.
