Unser Favorit: der unfassbar erfrischende Cold Brew!

Jetzt geht es zurück an die kreative Projektarbeit, mit einem bunten Mix aus Videoschnitt, Grafikdesign und Webseiten-Entwicklung. 💪

Habt ein entspanntes Wochenende!

Superbooth 2026 is wrapped up, and what a wild ride it was! The event’s 10th anniversary was as much fun as ever.

Our mission this year:
👉🏻 Create an engaging experience to explore Groove’s 3rd Wave synths. ✅
👉🏻 Make sure everybody gets 3rd Wave swag ✅
👉🏻 Produce high-quality video content for Groove Synthesis ✅
👉🏻 Grow our relationships with brands, press, and artists. ✅
👉🏻 Reconnect with lots of friendly people. ✅
👉🏻 Get inspired by the vibrant and diverse synth community. ✅

Superbooth demonstrates that trade shows benefit from having a unique character. Sure, there’s barely any phone reception, and maybe not everything is perfect, but the event makes up for it with a wonderful vibe and energy fueled by the creative people all around.

Big thanks to the Superbooth team for all of the great work they do. Also, thanks to .berlin and for putting together pretty cool parties.

The Sonic Lighthouse team is en route to Superbooth in Berlin today where we’ll be supporting our client with their show presence (booth O264).

We’re looking forward to lots of bleeps & bloops, music & tech, seeing friends & making new connections. It’s ’s 10th Anniversary, so it’ll surely be an epic event. We love that Superbooth is getting more colorful, more diverse, and more vibrant every year. 🌈

If you’re around, let us know!

Regenwetter in Köln, aber zum Glück ist es bei im richtig gemütlich. Danke für den Kaffee und die inspirierenden Kreativgespräche.

NAMM 2026 reminded us why trade shows still matter. Not because of square meters or booth counts, but because real conversations and unexpected connections still happen when the right people cross paths.

This was our busiest NAMM to date. We interviewed artists, captured performances, and produced content for , , and , ranging from multi-camera 16:9 interviews to performance footage and vertical social formats. The goal was not volume, but versatility and intention.

A central part of our approach was thinking beyond individual deliverables and looking for meaningful brand connections. Big thanks to , , , and for the collaboration and shared mindset.

Despite some obvious gaps in the exhibitor list and a challenging show floor layout, there was a palpable sense of optimism throughout the halls. NAMM remains a place where ideas are exchanged, relationships are formed, and future projects quietly begin.

Shout-outs to the wonderful artists and engineers we had the chance to work with:

Es wird festlich bei Sonic Lighthouse. In den nächsten Wochen lassen wir hier unser erstes Jahr als neues Kreativstudio ein bißchen R***e passieren und blicken zurück auf all die Herausforderungen, (Miss-)Erfolge, und tollen Erlebnisse und Begegnungen des Jahres.

It’s getting festive here at Sonic Lighthouse. In the next few weeks, we’ll be looking back on a jam-packed year with all of the challenges, successes, setbacks, and memorable moments that you’d expect during the first year of a new studio.

The 33rd Tonmeistertagung last week showed what a modern industry event can look like. Under the leadership of and the entire team at the , the atmosphere strikes a balance where technical excellence and a genuine sense of community support each other rather than compete. Thoughtful details like the open Happy Hour in the VDT Lounge, the social video dailies (why only on LinkedIn??), and the Connecting Audio Night make a noticeable difference. It’s clear this isn’t just a boring trade show. It’s a space where the pro audio community can truly connect.

A personal highlight for us was visiting the Schoeps team. Their booth was a strong example of how precise brand work can translate into a physical space. A big shoutout to Florian Gundert and the whole team. The implementation of our shared graphic concept gave the booth a clear visual signature while keeping it open and welcoming for conversations.

For us at Sonic Lighthouse, the was much more than a trade show visit. It reflects where the industry is headed: more focused on human connection, more open towards exchange, and more confident in how brands present themselves. That intersection of creativity, technology, and community is exactly where we do our work every day.

Morgen wagen wir den Sprung über den Rhein und freuen uns auf spannende Gespräche und Eindrücke auf der 33. Tonmeistertagung. Ob Designanwendungen oder Strategie; Content oder Community: Julia und Julian sind vor Ort, um mit euch über eure brennendsten Themen zu reden. Wir sind nur am Freitag da und haben keinen Stand, daher am besten einfach kurz eine Nachricht schreiben oder sprecht uns einfach an!

We look forward to seeing lots of familiar and new faces at the upcoming 33. Tonmeistertagung in Düsseldorf, Germany, this Friday. From design applications to strategy, content to community: Don’t be a stranger and let’s talk! We won’t have a booth, so make sure to send us a quick message or comment.

We had a lovely time visiting our client in beautiful Karlsruhe-Durlach last week. There’s so much history to be found there, yet the company feels 100% committed to an agile and innovative future. Plus, it’s always nice to swap the slightly grungy Cologne city hustle for some small town vibes.

We're excited that we got to create fresh tutorial content for our client LiquidSonics. VLF (or Very-Low Frequency) reverb is a hallmark feature in their range of reverb plug-ins and it can truly make a difference in creating richer, more authentic-sounding spaces.
