Description: This documentary was produced by Alain Le Kim of Soundstrips. Alain takes you inside Dave Hill’s studio and the Crane Song factory, revealing all the secrets that have made these boxes a staple in every professional recording studio worldwide.

Dave Hill has his own world in Superior, Wisconsin. At his Inland Sea Recording Studio, he is a music engineer without compromise. He actually built the studio himself because, when he started out, he couldn’t afford the necessary equipment. So he designed all the electronics needed to achieve the highest sound quality for any recording. And then, all of these machines, designed for his own use, were produced by his company, Crane Song, for other sound engineers around the world.

Dave Hill has his own world in Superior, Wisconsin. In his Inland Sea Recording Studio, he engineers music without any compromise.

And then, all the machines he designed for his own use have been produced at his company, Crane Song, for the other sound engineers around the world.

Dave Hill loves nature. Living in the grand natural environment of Lake Superior, he does not drive, walking every day in the countryside boarding the great lake. In this beautiful environment, his daily walks enable him to think about the next product he will design for the Crane Song range of high end gear. From the Hedd converter to the Spider set of preamps, these dream pieces of audio equipment reflect the “no-compromise” approach of Dave. Indeed superior gear!
