Leave it to me to compose and record professional strings for your music. I compose and record cello, violin, viola and bass. I have recorded and composed for Volkswagon, Discovery channel, Vulfpeck, Benny Friedman, and Sam Tsui. I have also recorded in Billy Joel's personal studio.
I record with an AKG C214, AKG 3414, Akmoba condenser, Apollo Twin interface, and Pro Tools. I can read your score/sheet music in Treble, Tenor, Alto, or Bass clef. You can send me the music you are looking to emulate and I will compose and record stings in that style. Examples of different styles include classical, modern, pop accompaniment, jazz solos, Irish melodies, musical arrangements, rock and roll solos, bluegrass chops and chords, and more. I send mp3 examples for you to review, and will send zipped stem files when everyone is on the same page.

Endorse Cellist James Acampora
check_circleVerifiedSuper fast turnaround, professionally recorded and performed. James intuitively understood my (probably insane) notes and snet back exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'll definitely work with James again
check_circleVerifiedJames did an incredible job. We sent him sheet must which he recorded with great timing, tuning and audio quality, but he also layered on beautiful additional parts. We will definitely ask him to work on other songs.

Recommended if you need professional, affordable and timely strings.
James worked quickly and efficiently, and is clearly talented at what he does. He provides quite the package for the price, and is very quick to respond - which makes things smooth. He was also very understanding with various revisions, edits and critiques. - check_circleVerified

I can provide files within 2-5 days. I will revise as needed. I charge by amount of tracks needed and their length. I can improvise to fit many styles, and I can read sheet music or chord charts.
