Marco is a seasoned audiophile, producer, audio engineer, and senior writer at Higher Hz, where he covers hi-fi, home theater, and live sound.
Born into a creative family, Marco was immersed in music since he was born, but his desire to play an instrument didn't arise until he was 14, when he started playing the drums.
In his late teenage years, Marco discovered the world of DAWs, recording his first ambient/electronic tracks and publishing albums under various monikers and netlabels.
His studies and music career led him to London, where he graduated in Music Business at the London School of Sound and continued recording music and touring with several bands.
After graduating, Marco started his label Naviar Records, which he uses to release music from like-minded artists and friends.
Naviar hosts regular events in Europe, the UK and Australia, has a weekly radio show on Resonance Extra and has been praised by iconic music magazines such as Electronic Sound, Sound of Life, Cyclic Defrost, and more.
Currently, Marco plays the drums in the psychedelic rock band Aktopasa and continues to broaden the scope of his label.
His passion for music led him to acquire a taste for high-quality audio, so he spends a lot of time writing about and reviewing audio gear he believes people should know about.
In-ear monitors can be lifesavers for musicians, a breath of fresh air for audiophiles by changing the way you listen to audio on the go, and invaluable tools for audio engineers in critical listening tasks.
Whichever way you look at IEMs, these portable monitors can enhance your audio experience, whether on stage, in the studio, or on your daily commute.
A digital audio workstation is to a music producer what a studio is to a painter: the perfect environment for creativity, a blank canvas ready for your vision.
Like a painter needs colors, you need plugins, time, and a clear vision. The right DAW provides a clean workspace to start from.
In a world where music producers are often on the move, either touring or daily commuting to their 9-5, it’s unthinkable not to have a portable device that allows you to make music whenever inspiration strikes.
In a world where you can make music with an average laptop, tablet, or even smartphone, having a high-quality desktop computer not only shows your commitment, but will most likely lead to more sophisticated and ambitious music production, thanks to the power and speed these machines offer.
