The Studio and Equipment

Located in the mountains of North Idaho is our comfortable digital recording and sound design studio. After the sound effects are recorded on location and carefully auditioned, they are meticulously edited and cataloged for inclusion in our vast High Definition sound effects libraries. Only the finest takes are kept and mastered. Now the magic begins…each sound is creatively sculpted and mastered to create exceptional material for the “Ultimate HD Sound Effects Libraries” and “SoundBox HD Pro Collections“.
