    CHE NE SAI DI ME?

    For the track “CHE NE SAI DI ME?” by Lil Madd, I handled the entire sonic process, including beat production, mixing, and mastering.

    I created an original instrumental tailored to enhance the artist’s identity, focusing on modern sounds and a sound design that matches the emotional tone of the record. During the mixing phase, I focused on achieving the right balance between vocals and instrumental, ensuring clarity, depth, and dynamics, with particular attention to frequency distribution and spatial imaging.

    Finally, through mastering, I optimized the track to meet digital distribution standards, delivering a polished, competitive sound ready for all streaming platforms.
