SOUNDCRAFTER SERVICES
Design, Editing and Mixing of Sound
Features and streamed television series make up the majority of our work, but our crew members bring the same Soundcrafting to every format.
Sound Design — We decide what sounds to use and create new ones by recording, editing, processing, and mixing.
Editing — We place sounds and organize sounds according to groups like: Dialogue, Sound Effects, and Music. Every sound is matched carefully to picture, and if something isn't working, we adjust it or try alternatives until it does.
Mixing for Quality — We use a wide range of tools to integrate the sound amongst themselves and work for the scene. Dialogue always needs to be clear and understandable. Levels generally stay consistent, though sometimes a louder or quieter moment is exactly what we need.
Mixing for Position — In a theater, sound can be very effective when it plays from the sides or the back, but we don’t want it to be distracting. Dialogue is mostly anchored to the center of the screen, but what about the sound effects and the music — how do we position them?
Delivery — Depending on your project, you may only need a 5.1 and LR mix, but we're equipped to deliver 9.1.6 or higher as well. Films can stream on television in 9.1.6, though theatrical playback at that many channels requires a licensing fee. We're happy to walk you through all the options and help you figure out what your project actually needs.
Voice Recording
Includes ADR, VO, Audiobooks and Podcasts
All voice recording at Soundcrafter is coordinated by Chez Boom Audio. Chez Boom, founded by Shayna Brown, is now managed by Cabel Adkins. Cabel also owns ATX Audio Post and is a Soundcrafter crew member.
Foley Recording
Crew members Susan Fitz-Simon and Jahné Zachary have a unique job — they may be the only two foley artists in Texas. Other post-audio houses regularly hire them to record their foley. They will program where your project’s foley is needed, arrange the recording at Soundcrafter with a crew member recording (usually Glenn Eanes), and after the foley is recorded they will edit their work so it is in synch to the picture. You can contact either Susan or Soundcrafter regarding their foley services.
Production Sound and Field Recording
Soundcrafter crew members are mostly post-audio specialists, but we have one member, Justin Hennard, who is also a production sound recordist. He is also a good field recordist— like for a specific car or background in your film. You can contact Justin or Soundcrafter regarding his production sound and field recording services.
