Customer Reviews

My first encounter with professional recording: 4 hours with Sam at Apple Beam studios in Birmingham. 

I'd expected a long layering process but Sam took time to adjust the mics and took 'as-live' performances plus a track from an old cassette-mixer I'd brought in and subtly added filters and compression to make me sound pretty good even to my own self-conscious ears.

He kept me informed about every tweak and option though he must have heard a lot of the technical information pinging off the top of my head. The great value of a pro producer is in bringing an objective ear to a personal project and my confidence in Sam's judgement grew as each refinement was added. A fascinating process and far simpler than I'd feared. Graham Higgins
