Andrea Maceroni (Slam Studio) on SoundBetter

Hi, I'm Andrea and I have been working in music industry since 2007. I began working in audio services as backliner and sound engineer assistant, then as producer in several music festivals. In 2012 I started the project of a recording studio on my own and since then I have been working as recording engineer, mixing engineer and producer.

I like working in a relaxed and positive environment. I really love to take musicians attitude when I mix, because I believe that gives authenticity to the outcome of the work. For this, every step of my work is meant to get the best result for both parts. I prefer aggressive musical genres and all the derivations of rock, but I like mixing genres far different from mine too, like pop, hip hop, electronic music.

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

  12. A: Usually i work on energetic music such as stoner rock, hard rock and all derivations of the rock genre. But i love to work on all kind of genres because i find it challenging to bring every production to a happy end.
