Field Recording
Accurate and Affordable Music in Any Location
See Above Sound has several mobile recording rigs available to handle nearly any situation. We began with a commission to record a Christmas CD for two local churches. A robust rig was needed to capture the brass orchestra, choir, pipe organ, and solo piano. All this needed a small footprint as the venue required the gear to be on stage with the performers. You can hear the result in the Audio Samples section.
See Above Sound also helped create a mobile rig for Studio 880 to capture a performance by Fall Out Boy at the Warfield. Whether you need 24 track recording from an outdoor venue or a simple demo in your own home, we have all your needs covered.
Music Production
Avoid the Pitfalls of Creating Your Own CD
Far too many times has a band or a musician failed to finish producing their music. Whether it is a demo to attract major label attention or a band's fifth studio release, it is vital that the producer keeps the performers focused on getting great performances and completing the project.
See Above Sound will not let your project languish and fall to the wayside. We have committed ourselves to exposing music across the Bay Area and beyond. We create incredible live performances and distribute the music over iTunes.
We can produce your music in either your own practice studio or at one of several studios around the Bay Area with whom See Above Sound has a relationship. We can make your music sound great on any budget. Feel free to contact us with your specific requests.
