Introducing SAM Recording Studio, Italy

This month we have bolstered our offering of high end Italy recording studios by partnering with the great SAM Recording Studio in Tuscany, a luxury residential retreat in the idyllic 12th Century village of Lari near Pisa.

This residential recording studio is based in a traditional Tuscan building next to the imposing Castle of Lari in the centre of the village. With breathtaking views of the Apuan Alps, Mediterranean Sea and even the Leaning Tower of Pisa on a clear day, it is a truly special location to take a recording project to.

SAM Studio’s main control room was designed by the acclaimed French acoustician, Christian Malcurt, so the quality and accuracy of the room’s acoustics are second-to-none. It features a LN1 Raindirk Symphony console, a lot of vintage valve gear and modern equipment, and clients have the choice of a Pro Tools HD3 rig as well as a 2″ 16-track Soundcraft machine.

The main live room measures 8.6m x 6m x 4.5m and features a Steinway grand piano, and the space has a great variety of top-level acoustics.A slightly smaller recording room provides producers and engineers more acoustic options when tracking. Besides the beautifully-crafted acoustics at S.A.M., there are countless microphones and backline instruments to use, too.

Away from the studio itself, the accommodation at SAM is based in a stylish flat just 70 meters away. Guests will have all the joys of Tuscany, one of the most undoubtedly beautiful parts of Italy. Florence, Pisa, Siena, stunning architecture and countryside, great food and wine, and many outdoor activities such as hiking, spas, beaches and more.
