Welcome to Underground Sound. I'm
Saul Johnson, the owner and engineer
here and I designed this site to provide
information about the studio to anyone
interested in recording.
Underground Sound is a private, 48 track digital
recording facility, professionally designed and
acoustically treated for creating great quality records.
I use only the best microphones, preamps, A/D
conversion and processing on every project I work on
and I always strive to make sure my client's records
stand out. I've been recording full time for six years,
and although the studio and gear list have
grown, I still maintain my low rates. I also take
great care to make sure the artist's vision is
produced and will ensure that every recording
project is organized, simple and fun.
Contact me day or night if you have questions
or would like to schedule a session. I hope to
hear from you!
