TESTIMONIALS
Stu Folsom (Spiritworld, Folsom)
“Sam has recorded all of SpiritWorld’s material and is the most talented producer/engineer in the world. Sam is my musical soul brother and one of the only people I have ever met that shares my passion for music.”
Eric Valentine (Producer, Mixer & Engineer)
“I love Sam. I mixed a record that he produced, and I had a great time doing it. He’s an amazingly talented guy. He’s got that passion and all of that amazing enthusiasm for audio. He’s wonderful.”
Kevin Geyer (The Story So Far, Elderbrother & Same Side)
“Sam Pura and I know each other well so the workflow is always pretty effortless. I can definitely fake my way through playing bass and drums, but I think the credit goes to Sam for making it sound like an actual song.”
Longineu Parsons III (Yellowcard & This Legend)
“Sam is an amazing engineer. I recorded some of the best drum tracks I’ve ever done with him.”
Marta Piekarz
“This was absolutely the best experience I've ever had. I lived the life of a pop star for five days and came out with amazing songs.”
Nathan Huynh (Goldview)
Sam is deeply involved in every project he works on and will get the best out of you. Whether it's the best takes, pushing your songwriting, or finding the best tones, Sam is all in. You can trust him with searching for the highest quality results. Sam is very passionate and caring. Seeing Sam create art is truly exciting every time.
Preston Moore (Call The Wolf)
“It was a lot of fun working with Sam. I had sent him some demos of a few songs and after hearing those Sam had a good understanding of what we were going for. We all bonded over music and similar interests during our time at The Panda Studios. I think Sam had a really good sense of what we were aiming for but also heard it a particular way in his head, and it all just came together. Big loud drums and guitars, crisp performances and big hooks. He had a different way of working with each of us individually. I think as a band everyone adapted well to his process of making records. We were all really happy with how the album turned out.”
Parker Cannon (The Story So Far & Snarl)
“Every time we’ve recorded with him, it’s been extremely comfortable. I love Sam, I love working with him.”
Jacob Price (A Better Way)
“Some say he is a savant, some say he works with great passion, I say he is the reason my music sounds better than everyone else's. Sam's dedication to crossing the finish line on projects without overlooking the slightest details is genuinely a gift you will not find elsewhere.”
AJ Perdomo (The Dangerous Summer)
“Sam really stepped us up a notch. Everything was very thought out and very specific. A big theme of recording with Sam was like, ‘What is your intent?’ We tried to make everything perfect based on what the intent of the song was. He has a vision when it comes to big production, and he understands how to get this monumental conquering sound with cool techniques. I think he’s elevated us a lot and he’s a big contributor to the future of this band.”
Newton Huynh (Goldview)
There's no one I trust more behind the computer on the engineering side, but also behind the guitars, synths, and pedals on the instrumentation side; the guy is a master at his craft. I just can't imagine my band's music being at its best level if it doesn't go through Sam.
