Engineer/Producer/Composer
Sam McArthur is a talented producer/engineer with the sensibilities of a renaissance artist. This informs his approach to helping you elevate and achieve your musical vision.
More about Sam
A lifelong New Englander and musical tinkerer, Sam has been hitting Record since Elementary school. From cassettes and hard disk recorders in early childhood, to FL Studio in high school, through a college degree for Audio Engineering and homegrown career as a talented Engineer-Producer, he exercises as much artistry in the technical aspects of record-making as in the music itself. Sam's holistic approach to recorded music stresses the multiplicative power of quality in each step, from the songwriting itself through to the Master, all in the name of music sounding as good and emotionally powerful as possible.
At The Studio Portland, Sam lends his record-making expertise, extensive technical and repair skills, and selections of his own arsenal of outboard gear and microphones.
