Level 2 Audio

Audio Sweetening / Post

Audio Sweetening (Audio for Video)

When you need voiceover, sound effects, music tracks or other audio elements added to your TV spots and film or video projects, look to Level 2 Audio. Want to "clean up" an existing audio track? We use high quality digital noise filters that can remove many unwanted sounds.

While video editing software has made it relatively easy for just about anyone to put together an appealing visual presentation, high quality audio isn't typically assembled at the average desktop. In addition to producing original voiceover for your project, we can properly mix your audio and provide many other services that can boost the effectiveness and overall quality of your piece, all for a very modest price. Let's talk about your needs and how we can help.

Location Sound

We provide expert recording of location sound for video, film, ENG, and EFP shoots. Our typical package includes the following gear:

K-TEK Carbon Fiber Boom
Senheiser MKH 60 P48 shotgun microphone
Rycote windscreens
A Shure FP33 stereo field mixer
2 Senheiser EW100 ENG G2 lav/handheld wireless systems
Senheiser and Tram lavaliere microphones
Shure SM58 handheld microphones
AudioTechnica 800 series stereo microphone
Various choir microphones
Marantz PMD 670 portable flash recorder (Can record .wav/.bwf, MP2, and MP3 formats)

We know that you have a budget to consider, so we always work as efficiently as possible to help you get the most value for the best price. We suggest thorough pre-planning prior to any location shoot. Taking steps to secure the best quality recording onsite means there will be less time required for ADR/Looping and EQing at the end of production.

Is your church, school or business presenting a guest lecturer, motivational speaker or training session that you would like to capture for others to hear? Just give us a call. We can record the event, then produce copies in the desired format.

Sound Design

The art of sound design includes creating and/or adding music and sound effects to produce a more complete sonic atmosphere. Good sound design allows the audience to experience the "theatre of the mind" concept, especially in audio-only presentations.

ADR/Looping

The actors hit their marks. The camera work looks great. But the boom picked up the craft service guy dropping a butter knife on the lid of a chafing dish. Don't cut the shot. Call Level 2 Audio to set up an ADR and Looping session. We can replace the bad audio and save the scene.

We've provided ADR / Looping services for Soundelux Hollywood, Icy Films, C5 Inc., Technicolor Sound and their network television shows "Dawson's Creek" and "Judging Amy," as well as the feature films "First Daughter" and "The Ice Storm" with Katie Holmes.
