Marcelo Frajmowicz on SoundBetter

Hello, I´m Marcelo, a music producer with more than 20 years experience collaborating with artists and TV Shows, soundtracks, etc. By producing in Spain, you can have Top 10 Hit Quality production but with lower prices. I can get the most out of your budget with highest quality results. I have my own studio based in Barcelona.

If you are an artist or songwriter and you need a Single/EP/Album produced I am the producer you are looking for. No matter if you only have a guitar/piano or a pre-produced demo, we will turn it into a song.

I am very easy to work with, but also meticulous and demanding in order to achieve professional results.

THE PRODUCTION

I am a multi-instrumentalist and also have access to the best musicians in Spain and beyond, also classical strings and horns from the top orchestras.

I am an experienced string and horn arranger.

If you don´t know the style you want for your production, I will give you my best advice.
I´ll prepare a pre-production for you and once we agree on it, we can start recording.

I specialize in recording and editing vocals including comping, cleaning, timing and tuning.

I work with the singer to attain the most emotional and professional vocal performance.
We can also create great harmonies and background vocal arrangements.

AFTER THE RECORDING

I can mix/master your song or you can choose a Premium Mixing Service with a multi Latin Grammy and Grammy award winning mixing engineer in Miami for a special price.

Also, we can master your song in Nashville at extremely reasonable rates with a great mastering engineer who worked at Motown for many years in the 60’s and 70’s.

Feel free to write. I am happy collaborate with you!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Marcelo is a very talented producer and most of all a great human being. It is my pleasure to say he has produced many projects I was involved with. If you are looking for someone seriously committed, professional and friendly to work on your music and take it to another level- he is the man. I definitely recommend Marcelo.

I recorded my first album with Marcelo and it was the best experience of my life. I was new in it and he tought me a lot of things. I dind’t even know what I wanted my album to sound like and his big professionality and great taste in music made it even better than what I could have ever imagined.
He is also such a great person, very sweet and meticulous with his work. The production he made for my album was absolutely special and he made all the string arrangements with a very personal touch.
I honestly feel very happy and proud every time I listen to my album and that is so priceless.

A: I am very versatile. Working with different artists make you learn that the producers are at the service of the artist. We should develop the artist´s personalities and styles.

A: We start by listening to the client, knowing the person and the artist. Then we listen to the song(s) to be produced or arranged. Once we know what we need for the song, I prepare a pre-production. If we are happy with the result, then we proceed to the recording.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: We record in ProtTools and programme in Logic Pro X. We have a great set of mics (Neumann, Akg, Senheisser, Royer Labs, Audio Technica, Roswell, GAP, etc.).
