Delta7 on SoundBetter

I play pop/funk/rock guitar, I studied electronic music in two Italian conservatories. I'm a rock/hip hop producer and audio engineer.

Graduated in electronic music in Italy, I studied and worked as audio engineer, producer, sound designer, guitarist and keyboardist. I started as a guitarist when I was 10 years old, after several years I started experimenting with playing other instruments and recording them. Then I started studying at "Conservatorio Musicale Vincenzo Bellini di Catania" and then "Conservatorio Arrigo Boito di Parma" (Italian music conservatories) and being fascinated by sound design, musical programming and audio engineering. Meanwhile in this years I worked as a hip/hop producer and audio engineer.

  38. A: As a sound engineer/producer I got my little studio with an UAD Apollo, Behringer C5a with a Fostex sub and Aston microphone but I work in a bigger studio (that is also a live sound engineer service) where I got a lot of hardware gears as digital and analog mixers, neve preamps, mics of every kind (condenser, dynamic, large or small diaphragm) and brand (i.e. Akg c414, classics Shure Sm57-58, Sennheiser MD 421, dpas and schopes) .
