30 Years of High-End Jazz & Classical Sound. I preserve the soul of your performance. Specialized in Pure Acoustic Sound, natural dynamics, and audiophile quality. Trusted by Italy's top artists.
I specialize in Pure Acoustic Sound, preserving breath and dynamics: Jazz, Classical, and World Music.
With a career spanning over 30 years. I am the personal sound engineer for Stefano Bollani (one of the most important pianists in the world), a role I have held for over 20 years. I also work as a resident engineer at the prestigious Auditorium Parco della Musica and Casa del Jazz in Rome.
My Philosophy: Music is an experience, not just a frequency curve. In a world of over-compressed mixes, I fight to keep the natural "air" and dynamic range of your performance. I know exactly how a Steinway should resonate in a hall and how a rhythm section should breathe.
Selected Credits & Collaborations: I have worked for the world's leading Jazz labels (ECM, ACT, Verve, Sony Classic, DECCA) and collaborated with iconic artists including:
Italian Jazz: Enrico Rava, Stefano Bollani, Paolo Fresu.
International Legends: Chick Corea, Lee Konitz
Brazilian Masters: Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, João Bosco.
Awards & Recognition:
Voted "Best Italian Sound Engineer" by JazzIT Magazine (2011).
Engineer for Italy's leading Jazz TV broadcast.
Mixing engineer for multiple award-winning film soundtracks.
My Services:
Pro Mixing:I personally craft the mix, while the Master is handled by my trusted partner under my supervision. Two expert pairs of ears for a superior result.

Interview with Roberto Lioli
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I specialize in Mixing and Mastering for Jazz, Classical, World Music, and Soundtracks. My daily work revolves around preserving the natural dynamics of acoustic instruments while giving them the clarity and depth required by modern standards. I often work with Trios, Quartets, and Orchestras where the "room sound" and the interaction between musicians are key elements.
