Achieve outstanding versatile and balanced audio recordings, both live and overdubbed. With original microphones from the 1930s like the Neumann M7, M49, U67 and Telefunken U47 to todays standards like the DPA 4600 and AEA N8, with original tape machines like the MCI JH24 to the latest innovations in digital technology. Our live room offers an inspiring view into the Pisan countryside, on clear days as far as Pisa and the sea. An experience music artists from all over the world have enjoyed such as Blonde Redhead, Stefano Bollani, Peter Fox and Sportfreunde Stiller.

Live Recording

Authentic realism in the capturing of live sound has always been a focus and strength for SAMworld. We have been experimenting with immersive sound recording with our Dolby Atmos ready™ proprietary Spherical Sound system since the early 2000s. With this method SAMworld has curated recordings for renowned conductors such as Zubin Mehta and live for RAI national television.

Direct to Vinyl Recording

First take it is! Print your studio performance straight onto vinyl disc: no FX, no AI, no BS. Just a live room with a few basic tools and a monophonic ribbon microphone, properly amplified and directly connected to the vinyl cutting machine, unique and unmodifiable.

Raphael Gualazzi and Emma Morton & The Graces made no mistake and were brave enough to try this incredible SAMworld recording experience.
