We love working with musicians here at our San Antonio sound studio, but we can handle a lot more beyond just musical recording and mixing. If you have ever wondered about what work our San Antonio sound studio can do beyond music, read on to learn about our other specialties.
- Audio for video: When you think about some of your favorite scenes from classic movies, chances are sound played just as big a role as the visual aspect did. The sound of a car’s engine revving up, or a passionate kiss, or even something as simple as a door opening, can all greatly add to the emotion and suspense of a scene. Those perfect sounds don’t just happen by accident; they happen with the help of recording studios like us.
- Actor dialogue replacement: Actor dialogue replacement (commonly referred to as ADR) usually occurs when an actor’s voice originally doesn’t quite achieve the desired affect. Or if you want to change the language of your movie without subjecting your audience to subtitles, you typically choose to use overdubbing, meaning you have actors record the new dialog over the original film. This is a tricky job to do well, but it can have great final results. Audio experts can make it so your new dialog matches the visual scenes seamlessly. In the studio, the actor can work to get the right take, and audio engineers can match it to the previously recorded video. If the ADR is a success, none of the viewers will be able to tell the difference.
- Film scoring: Okay, so film scoring does have to do with music, but it is in a field of its own in terms of audio recording. It is crucial that a film’s score swell and retreat at the appropriate times, and professional audio mixers can make it so that your score makes perfect sense with the film it is intended for. It’s a heavy, involved job, but the team here at Windmill Valley Recording loves tackling it.
- Commercials and jingles: Finally, when thinking about the different types of work a recording studio should do, one should not forget the commercial side of things. When a business finds the right recording studio to handle their commercial and jingle work, the results can be a high quality, impressive blend of technical skill and creative ingenuity. Windmill Valley Recording is happy to take on new jobs of radio & TV advertisements.
