Fede Catenaro on SoundBetter

I produce release-ready pop and soul records with musical depth, character and a modern competitive sound. I turn demos into powerful productions that stand confidently next to today’s international releases.

I specialize in building records that feel modern and competitive while preserving what makes each artist unique. My productions combine strong musical foundations, refined arrangements and high-level sound design.

Rooted in pop but deeply influenced by jazz harmony, soul feel and latin rhythm, I bring sophistication, groove and emotional weight that elevate tracks beyond the typical template production.

From a simple demo to a fully realized release, I handle the process with precision, taste and clear communication. Artists I work with value efficiency, creativity and a professional workflow — many return for multiple projects.

If you want your music to stand next to today’s international releases, I’d love to collaborate.

• A complete, release-ready production is typically delivered within 7 days — combining efficiency with high-level musical and sonic detail.

    I've worked with Fede a couple times now - and each time has been very smooth. He's very responsive and communicates well - and is willing to make changes or undergo revision requests. His masters sound really clean and he definitely knows what he's doing.

Interview with Fede Catenaro

  1. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  2. A: I’ve had the chance to meet and collaborate with some truly great professionals here. Martin Trevox is an incredible talent, Leandro Zilberberg is a fantastic pianist, Marcos R. is an excellent producer, and there are many more I deeply respect. If a project requires something outside my lane, I’m always happy to point clients toward the right people.

  3. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  4. A: I’m most proud of projects where a simple idea evolved into a record that truly elevated the artist’s identity. My role typically includes full production, arrangement and sonic development, shaping the track into something emotionally strong and release-ready.

  5. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  6. A: I’m currently producing pop and soul records for artists from different countries, focusing on distinctive sounds that can stand next to today’s global releases.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Both. Digital tools provide flexibility and speed, while musical performance adds character and emotion. The combination is where the magic happens.

  9. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  10. A: Professionalism, dedication and a production you’ll feel confident releasing anywhere in the world.

  11. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  13. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  14. A: A very common question is whether we can achieve a world-class, competitive sound. With the right collaboration and performances, the answer is absolutely yes.

  15. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  16. A: I ask about artistic vision, references, release goals and the emotion they want listeners to feel.

  17. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  18. A: Come with references, honesty about what you want, and openness to collaboration. That’s how we get the best results.

  19. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  20. A: A power generator, fuel, a laptop with offline licenses, a microphone and a MIDI controller — enough to keep creating no matter where I am.

  21. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  22. A: I’ve been dedicated to music production for over a decade, developing my skills as a producer and multi-instrumentalist while working with artists across different styles and stages of their careers.

  23. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  24. A: Artists who value identity, emotion and musical depth. Those are the projects where something timeless can happen.

  25. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  26. A: If the song works with just voice and one instrument, the production will only make it stronger.

  27. Q: How would you describe your style?

  28. A: In general, I describe it as a creative and modern style.

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

  30. A: Primarily pop and soul, often enriched with jazz harmony and latin rhythmic influence.

  31. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  35. Q: What's your typical work process?

  36. A: I begin by understanding the artist’s vision, references and emotional goals. From there I build the arrangement and sound palette, sharing progress constantly and refining together. Clear communication and a smooth workflow are key to achieving a powerful final result.

  37. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  38. A: I work from a professional hybrid setup designed for efficiency and high-end results. It allows me to combine detailed in-the-box production with real musical performance, giving records both precision and human feel.

  39. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  40. A: I’m inspired by producers and musicians who balance musical depth with contemporary sound. People who respect the emotion of the song first, but still innovate in arrangement, texture and impact.

  41. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  42. A: Most of my work involves full productions, developing songs from early demos or voice notes into release-ready records. I handle arrangement, instrumentation, vocal production and sonic direction, always making sure the artist’s identity stays at the center while the result feels modern and internationally competitive.
