Who Would Use An Audio Post-Production Company?

Posted by David Johnston on March 31st, 2021

What type of person or company needs the services of an audio post-production company? There are many including podcast producers, radio advertisers, video and film producers and sound designers. At Red Facilities, our clients include University students, commercial media giants like the BBC, commercial enterprises including banks and insurance companies, organisations including the National Trust for Scotland and the Scottish Government.

A commercial post-production company is not the type of recording studio you book for an hour for your birthday or to record a song with your pals. Instead, the studios contain the best sound recording and editing equipment available to create the best quality sound for professional media outlets.

The studios will be equipped with the most advanced equipment and software for sound recording, surround sound mixing and editing. For example, Red's studios run Nuendo 10 as the primary workstation utilising RME 24bit/96k audio hardware connecting to industry-standard Focusrite Red 7 premps and Neumann U87 microphones. They also use software from those terribly clever people at Soundminer, Waves, AudioEase, Source Elements, zplane, Blackmagic Design and many others.

Advertisers & Podcasters

A great audio post-production company will create award-winning sound for radio and TV advertising campaigns with passion and flair. From your initial brief, through voice casting to artist direction, final production and distribution they will take care of the entire production process.

If you need to create a podcast you can choose between speaking yourself or casting a great voiceover artist. Whatever you choose, using the best local recording studio will mean you end up with a quality production with exceptional sound.
