ELEMENTAL CONCEPT

Working with Artists, Creatives & Talent.

The Soundworks offers an efficient and friendly environment that allows sessions to run in a smooth and productive way.


​The Soundworks do not employ freelance engineers or producers, so upon commencing a project, we will work together until it's successful completion.

The Soundworks - Services

At the Soundworks all voice-over recording occurs in an acoustically treated vocal booth.  All equipment used is pro spec and the signal path is kept to a minimum.

You can record wild or to picture.

Remote producers can dial in to oversee the session.

I can simply engineer or if required, I can also offer production suggestions to help you get the most out of the session.


RECORDING

Clients typically request the full unedited session, but if required, bad takes and pauses can be edited out, breaths can also be tamed and mouth-clicks removed.

Edited voice-overs can also have further post-processing applied, to improve the overall sound.

A full mastering service is also offered so that the final delivered files can be inserted straight into your program or app without any further work.


EDITING

I offer a fast turnaround time and finished work can be delivered in any audio file format.

Typically this will be high quality 24 bit/48kHz PCM format, but alternative file formats can also be used if the file size needs to be kept to a minimum, for example for podcasts or to be embedded into a mobile application.

If you have a particular requirement then contact me to discuss the possible options.
