Getting set for spring here at Sonica Studios.
This month, a focus on ADR, with recent clients including Marvel Studios, Paramount and Aardman Animations.
 
As well as our drama and podcast work, our unique crowd ADR setup is becoming increasingly popular for film and games. With isolated actors recording together in the studio, each group can be split out into stems, giving mixers full control over the size and character of each crowd scene. 

Tighter, more controllable sound, with each actor able to move on mic and interact with others, without fear of overlapping or 'sticking out'. Stereo or surround positioning can be set within the group. Perfect for a polite hubbub to a full on riot... 
Recent prime talent includes Florence Pugh, Patrick Stewart, Toby Jones, Jim Broadbent, and Miriam Margolyes.
Meanwhile, here's a few of our latest drama titles:
 
BBC Radio 4. 'Rare Earth.'
