It has been 10 years since we lost Walter. He is in every single recording we have made before and since. Here’s to enjoying his imprint on the next 10 years of records!

We hope everyone is safe out there.
We can’t wait to get back in the studio with you.

We are very proud to announce that Sear Sound has finally completed our quest to find the perfect upgrade to our Pro Tools rigs in Lynx Studio Technology, Inc.‘s new Aurora ( n ) converters! We have been running them since December, and have had nothing but rave reviews from clients.
We feel like we are finally getting to hear what these studios really sound like.
We couldn’t have found a better group of people to work with than the team at Lynx. Their dedication to their product is inspiring, and their enthusiasm is contagious. We can’t thank them enough for making us sound better!

It is alway great to see something like this on one of our favorite artist's pages! Congrats Ben Williams!
Ben's "Coming of Age" was tracked in studio C by our Chris Allen.

If you look closely, there are actually four records in this one screen shot that were worked on at Sear by our engineering staff!

The Hot Sardines' self-titled record was tracked in studio C and mixed in studio A by our Teddy Tuthill.

Justin Kauflin's "Dedication" was mixed in studio A by Chris, with some of the record tracked in studio C.

And Ryan Keberle and Catharsis' "Into the Zone" was tracked in studio C by Chris.

And every single one of them were a lot of fun for us to be a part of!
