I’m Marco, a professional cellist, arranger and composer based in Italy. Music has been my passion since childhood, and I still approach every track with the same enthusiasm: I listen first, then play what the song truly needs.

25+ years of recording experience

A studio collaboration, even at a distance.

With over 25 years of experience recording hundreds of albums and soundtracks for prominent artists and film productions, my work spans classical, pop and international styles.

I can record a cello part provided by you or create one from your guidance, always shaping the performance around the music. Working on an EP, soundtrack or album? Share the project details and I’ll prepare a custom package with a reduced per-track rate.

Studio & equipment

A clear, professional recording chain.

The recording setup is chosen for each project according to the music, the production context and your technical requirements, so the cello fits naturally into the track.

How it works

Your music stays at the centre.

You share the definitive track and your vision. I turn that into a clear plan, and nothing begins until you approve the scope, price and timing.

1

Send the finished backing track

Use a private link to a WAV or MP3 with final structure and stable timing.

2

Tell me everything useful

Describe the emotion, role of the cello, references, deadline and any technical requirements.

3

Approve the plan and pay

I confirm the parts, files, revisions, price and delivery. Once approved, you pay securely through PayPal.

4

Receive, listen and refine

I record the project and deliver aligned WAV stems. Up to 2 revisions refine the agreed direction.

What to send

The song structure must be final. The cello idea does not.

  • Required: definitive WAV or MP3, with stable arrangement and grid.
  • Helpful: BPM, click, chords, score, MIDI, sung line or musical references.
  • Always useful: what you want the listener to feel and when you need the files.
Optional demo

Want to confirm the fit first? When suitable, I can record a short section chosen after listening, send a quick mix with your backing track and include a few seconds of dry solo cello. If it works for you, we proceed with the full project.

Practical answers

Remote cello recording FAQ: clear answers before booking.

The questions clients ask before a remote session — from the definitive track and demo to PayPal, revisions, privacy and real cello versus synthetic alternatives.

Do I need a written cello part?

No. What I do need is a backing track with its final song structure and stable timing. A score, MIDI, sung melody, voice note or reference can help, but you can also describe the emotion and let me create or improvise the cello part.

Why must the backing track have its final structure?

The cello is recorded precisely against your arrangement and grid. If sections, tempo or bar positions change later, the finished takes may no longer line up. Send a WAV or MP3 that represents the definitive structure; a click, BPM and chord chart are useful but not mandatory.

Can I hear a demo before the full project?

When it is useful and practical, yes. After listening, I can choose a short section and prepare a quick mix with your backing track plus a few seconds of dry solo cello. The demo confirms tone, interpretation and fit before the full commission; it is not a free completed part.

How much does a remote cello session cost?

Projects start at USD 75. The final quote depends on song length, number of parts, whether I am performing or arranging, alternate takes and delivery speed. You see and approve the complete price before paying.

How quickly can you deliver?

A typical project is delivered in about 3 business days. A 24-hour turnaround and sometimes delivery within a few hours may be possible after I have listened to the track and checked the studio schedule. Complex multilayer arrangements need an agreed schedule.

How do payment and booking work?

First I listen and we agree on the part, files, price and delivery time. You then pay securely through PayPal. The session is booked and recording begins after the payment and project brief are confirmed.

What files will I receive?

You receive clearly labelled, aligned WAV stems at the agreed sample rate, dry by default and ready to place in your session. Alternate takes, doubles, a reference mix, wet versions or separate ensemble layers are supplied when included in the agreed plan.

How do revisions work?

Up to 2 revision rounds are included within the original musical brief. They refine the agreed performance, sound or details. A new composition, arrangement, song structure or creative direction is a scope change and is quoted before extra work begins.

Is the contact form safe for unreleased music?

The form accepts only a private HTTPS link from an approved provider; it does not upload, store or execute your audio inside the website. An accepted request triggers an email notification and creates a separate recoverable submission record. Send only music you have permission to share.

Is this suitable if I am not a producer or cannot read music?

Yes. You can describe an emotion, point to a moment in the song or sing an idea. I translate that into musical and technical choices and explain the process in plain language. Experienced producers can provide exact specifications; both approaches are welcome.

Why choose a real cello for your track?

A real performance reacts to your exact harmony, phrasing and emotion through bow articulation, micro-dynamics and human timing. You receive isolated stems, direct revisions and a named performer behind the result. Synthetic or AI cello can be useful as a sketch, but its sound can feel standardized and rights or disclosure terms vary by tool and country. A human-recorded cello stem gives clearer provenance for that performance, without making a blanket legal guarantee for the rest of a production.

Can you record several cellos, an EP or a full album?

Yes. I can arrange and record independent harmony, rhythm, texture and solo layers, or plan a consistent workflow across several songs. Send one representative final track and the total scope so I can prepare a coherent schedule and project quote.

Always ready when there’s music to make.

Send me your track. I’ll take care of the rest.
