Nico González on SoundBetter

We don't finish until you're satisfied. Find me on Fiverr.com as "Nicorg".

Hi! My name is Nico Gonzalez. I'm a composer, (instrumental) producer, arranger, and music transcriber with a university degree. If necessary, I can go from classical symphonic music to jazz and hip hop. The goal is to create realistic music with mainly virtual instruments (not always). My fees are determined by the value I place on my time and flexibility. I won't, however, turn down a project because of them. If there is a price you can't afford, I'll accept what you can spend.

I work in Ableton at my home studio with a Focusrite Scarlett interface.

Please use the 'Contact' tab above to tell me about your project and how I can help.

I look forward to work with you!

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

Interview with Nico González

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

  2. A: I studied music composition at the National University of Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have two years left before graduation while doing two careers: "Classical composition" and "Arrangements for popular music". I started making music 16 years ago. I sing, play the guitar and piano. I also teach music theory.

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

  4. A: When two instruments/persons interact by waiting, listening, paying attention to each other, and moving together, they are considered "mixed". "They are not two individuals, but only one made up of two," one would say. Whether they are experienced musicians playing difficult passages or just two kids singing easy notes; the depth of this interaction is the basis of beauty.

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

  8. A: I start a fresh DAW session and insert the audio reference given by the customer. My first goal is to recreate it as much as feasible based on the client's other specifications, such as "don't be equal but similar" or any other type. 

  9. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  10. A: I have a home studio equipped with two MIDI keyboards and two large speakers that produce clear and low sounds. My audio interface is called the "Focusrite Scarlett Solo, 3rd Generation".

My 2 primary softwares are Ableton Live 11 and Sibelius Ultimate.

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

  12. A: Snarky Puppy and Robert Glasper are two artists whose sounds, styles, and concepts I adore. Also Jacob Collier.

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

  14. A: I've been working at Fiverr.com for four years. My primary functions are as a music transcriber and producer. About becoming a transcriber: I transcribe all audio by ear, even symphonic orchestras. I have transcribed complete albums and many old recordings in many genres such as jazz, latin, pop, classical, between others. About being a producer: I work with symphony orchestras in classical music as well as popular music such as jazz, hip hop, and gospel.
