Services

We do the sound design, editorial, and mixing for feature films, television, and every other type of media you can think of. Our expert sound editing team will perfect your project and treat it like their baby. We offer custom sound design and editing services, including re-recording, mixing, and ADR.

Stages

Our award-winning sound studios in Los Angeles are second to none. We designed our stages to be comfortable to work in all day and sometimes all night! We have a total of three facilities located in Van Nuys (half the facility is actually in Sherman Oaks), Burbank, and Santa Clarita on the SCS Studios lot.

Crew

If the Navy Seals were really cool sound guys, that would be us. Our crew can do everything a sound person needs to do — from sound design, mix, to field recording, you name it. We’ve even been known to stealthily hide in dark swamps waiting for the right frog to come along and record. Sorta like a Navy Seal might do.

Post-Production Sound Services

We have awesome stages, but what really sets us apart is our crew. Most of our sound editors are re-recording mixers and most of our re-recording mixers are sound editors. This results in a very efficient and seamless creative process. It also means our crew is very involved with your project with a hand in every stage of the post sound process.

Our SAG / AFTRA approved ADR Stages are perfectly suited for all your ADR and Loop Group needs. Designed with the comfort for the talent, our stages have recorded ADR for some of the most awesome productions ever.

Voice Recording

Once we’ve put all that work into creating that great sound design, the composer has written a phenomenal score or the dialogue editors prepped all those great tracks and recorded the ADR, we then need to mix all that stuff. We have 4 mix stages, 2 of them are DOLBY ATMOS stages. Within these walls we’ve mixed some of the biggest budgeted movies in history, and some of the smallest, not to mention thousands of hours of television and streaming. We love all projects of any shape or size.

Mixing

A spaceship flying by, a gunshot echoing, a ricochet, swords clanging, car engines revving, and tire squeals are all sound effects. We record them, perform them, and create brand new sounds never heard before. This is where the kid in us gets to come out because almost nothing is as much fun as a great sound effect. With our excellent sound design and foley crew, there is nothing we can’t create, or at least try.

Sound Design

When you go to a movie or watch a show at home and hear the actors speaking, this is thanks to the dialogue editor. They painstakingly go through the audio recorded on set, fix it and clean it up. They do everything they can so that the viewer isn’t distracted by the giant fan creating wind, or rain machines, or noisy traffic. Our guys and gals use the latest tools and gadgets, along with a good ear and a bucket of talent to get this done. Dialogue editors are the unsung heroes of the sound world.

Sound Supervision

The Supervising Sound Editor is the team leader on any project, here at King Soundworks they are typically also a Sound Designer and Re-Recording mixer by trade. The best way to describe the roll of the Supervising Sound Editor is they are like the Cinematographer, but for sound rather than images. They translate the director’s thoughts and desires into practical application to tell the story. Here at King Soundworks the Supervising Sound Editor is very often one of the Re-Recording Mixers keeping the creative conversation smooth and streamlined
