Rodrigo Francalacci on SoundBetter

For the last 12 years I've been working with many different artists. This experience taught me the essential components which make up a great mix. I strive to apply what I've learned to your track, to make it sound top-notch!

I'm a Bachelor of Physics and Master of Architectural Acoustics from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). I have been designing recording studios in the field of acoustics for over 6 years. In addition to being an acoustic designer I also work with audio electronics, that is I develop and build recording and mastering equipment for studio environments, as well as tube amplifiers for live and studio settings. I am also a songwriter, guitarist and vocalist with three albums released with the band The Belle from the city of Porto Ferreira in Brazil. Inside the studio, I have 12 years experience with recording, mixing and mastering.

    Rodrigo was the best, he's got an amazing attention for the little details and is very supportive of new ideas! Which is good if you want your tracks to sound the best they can be, looking forward to working with him again in the near future.
