goodsoundwaves started as a hobby project in 2011 with a Canon camcorder, a Sony DSLR, and a pair of battery powered Realistic condenser mics. We used these to record our first videos of and photograph our first local band, Lo-Watt Radio. This setup stayed largely unchanged for the next decade as the goodsoundwaves idea stood by, largely inactive, with me only occasionally photographing a band, and even less frequently recording video of a performance.
In 2018, shortly after being informed I was “whistling off-key” by my oldest, I began to try out home recording and learning the production side of music. This led to the creation of a home recording studio. That led to the development of the goodsoundwaves Podcast.
It was around this time that my son Nick designed what was to become my first tattoo and our company’s logo, which I affectionately call the “Brass Clef”.
In 2022 the modern evolution began. We started recording and editing multicamera video with cell phone cameras while running and capturing audio with newer mics and a digital Tascam mixer/recorder.
In December 2025, after we gained much needed experience and gear, we became a small business.
We run live sound, record audio, capture videos, and produce performance videos of shows. We track, edit, and mix audio for artist projects. We also create media for visual display to enhance live presentations.
In addition to our premium services, we offer a limited number of free SESSIONS performance videos each year. For these, we record your original songs in the studio or another selected location, such as the artist’s home or rehearsal space.
