Dave Greenberg

Over three decades, Dave has worked on a vast spectrum of music across all genres and styles, including Grammy-nominated and international award-winning projects. His clients include Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members, composers, producers, artists, and labels all around the world. From the vantage of this finishing stage in music production, Dave bridges the gap between the technical and the creative, helping to bring out the best in everyone he works with.

In the late 1980s, Dave began working as an assistant engineer in two of Boston’s premiere recording studios. During this time, he was still an art-school student making experimental music, electro-acoustic instruments, and sound processors. By the early ‘90s, Dave moved to San Francisco and joined the engineering staff at Boomtown, a bustling recording studio owned by Clio-winning music company Keller & Cohen. Here, he had the good fortune of learning from legendary recording engineer Fred Catero. His years at Boomtown helped him develop a skill set steeped in analog recording and mixing traditions with a highly-professional studio etiquette and atmosphere.

While Dave eventually became chief engineer at Boomtown, he continued to outfit and develop his warehouse studio in San Francisco’s South of Market area. There, his focus grew naturally toward mastering, and he continued collaborating on projects developed in other area studios. As he took on more and more mastering projects, Dave made the decision to officially launch Sonopod full-time.

In the early 2000s, Dave relocated Sonopod from one Bay Area back home to another: St. Petersburg, Florida, which remains Sonopod’s world headquarters to this day. Unattended sessions and speedy file transfers have enabled a geographically-diverse client base while building new roots in this new, arts-rich community.
