We are equipped with Pro Tools Ultimate HD HDX, Audio Development, Sennheiser, Schoeps, Neumann, Ambient, Aquarian Audio and more. And of course, we are always happy to bring in any microphone or other equipment if required.
The water stage has it's dedicated control room. The large window allows for visual contact during the recording session.
Water ADR & Foley Recording Stage
After talking to many mixers we realised that producing isolated natural water recordings can be challenging. So we decided to build a water stage that is big enough to jump in or row a boat.
Our parameters for the perfectly dry sound
The heated pool is 4x8 metres and 3 metres deep. The stage is acoustically treated so we can create dry recordings for scenes set in open water. The edges of the pool are curved and the sides sloped to avoid slap back sounds. The sloped sides also allow us to fill the water over the edge for natural sounding water recordings.
Props
To create and record authentic ADR or Foley recordings in water, it is not only important to have the right acoustics, but also the right props. With our extensive stock of props, there's probably no item we don't have.
You need a boat, sails, anchors, ropes and nets? Or surfboards, diving equipment, air mattresses, lifebuoys and bubble machines?
Don't worry, we've got it all.
