Our Capabilities.
JoeAudio Studio SamplerOur Studios.
Our facilities match our production expertise: experienced, proven, and reliable. Our studios are built around industry-standard ProTools HD digital audio workstations with Waves & Avid processing. We record, edit, and mix your entire project “in the box”, for fast editing, clean sound, and plenty of “what if we tried this?” options.
Both rooms also offer “mixing-to-picture” sweetening & layback –a final round of audio polish on your video soundtracks. We’ll make them sparkle & make sure they match industry & the latest FCC standards – just have your video producers send us OMF/AAF/QT files from the edit & we’ll do the rest.
ISDN connectivity gives you live access to hundreds of voice talent nationwide – you listen, direct record, and edit as if the talent is in the same studio. Local talents use our collection of Neumann, AKG, and Sennheiser microphones for smooth, crisp reads. If you can’t make it to the studio, our digital phone & Skype patches lets you direct your session from the comfort of your office or favorite recliner.
We feature a large selection of production music from the FirstCom family of music libraries, featuring over 180,000 themes from 21 libraries in any & every style you can think of – we can even create an online account where you can search & save your favorite cuts for your next session. Our sound effects library features over 40,000 cues from industry-standard collections like Sound Ideas, Hollywood Edge, and Network. Make quick, detailed searches & instantly place the right clips into your project.
