Stages and studios
At Soundsquare, we view our studios and stages as practical tools that enable our talented team to create exceptional soundtracks. We believe that it is the expertise and creativity of our team, rather than the technology alone, that brings the soundtrack to life. When designing our studios, our main objective was to create comfortable and practical spaces that cater to the needs of our engineers, clients, and talents. We wanted to ensure an environment that fosters creativity and facilitates effective communication. To streamline our workflow, we have implemented a sophisticated data storage system. This system provides controlled access to each project, ensuring the security and privacy of our clients’ assets. It also allows for easy and fast exports, promoting seamless collaboration and efficient project management.

Mixing and mastering
Mixing in stereo, 5.1, 7.1, Dolby Atmos, and Atmos HE formats. A stand-alone service or full post-production package, inclusive of sound design, ADR, foley and deliveries.

ADR and voiceover
Recording of additional dialogue replacement is an independent specialised activity for which we use two fully equipped ADR stages. The studios have specific characteristics of recording rooms and a range of different microphones. We offer remote recording via the WorldNet Milano apt-X and Telos Zephyr ISDN systems and the Source Connect IP software. Zoom or Skype connection for directing parties is a regular part of our remote sessions. Contact us for full tech specifications.

Foley
Foleys are the field where experience and routine meet with the need to experiment and play. We have a vast collection of props in our foley stage and cooperate with the Barrandov film fund or the armorer Flash FX when in need. The foley studio features a unique swimming pool to shoot water effects and different kinds of doors and surfaces. The studio is equipped with both a TV and a movie screen for image projection. Foley is often included in projects in which we participate. Also offered as an independent service.

Remote recording and mixing
Our studios and mixing suites are well-equipped for remote sound production in feature films, TV series, or commercial advertisements. We connect to studios abroad for ADR, VO, foley, loop groups, or mix reviews and can provide access for directors, producers, or voice coaches to take part in sessions. We offer cameras on talent and picture sharing during recording. We use SourceConnect Pro, SessionLink, Zoom, or Skype for recordings.We are fitted with a custom in-house live AV play-out system StreamBox that allows for remote mixing and reviewing with near-perfect sync of sound and picture.

Location recording
The best results can be reached when we participate from the very beginning.
With this in mind, we founded Soundsquare Rentals, fully specialising in location recording. Interconnection between shooting and post-production proved to be beneficial with regard to almost all types of projects, as it enables us to accurately meet the technical and dramaturgical requirements of our customers. We can thus assume responsibility for the entire sound component of the project, which is a common point of appreciation for directors. -
Voice database
Our large database of voices is updated on a regular basis and enables us to quickly record loop group sessions, re-voicing, VO, and dubbing in-house. It features several hundred Czech and Slovak voice actors, along with foreign language voice actors of a range of different ages and accents. We provide casting tapes to directors and take on the role of production management in the post-production process when dealing with actors.
-
Sound restoration and re-mastering
We facilitate the digitalisation of significant classical works. We carry out due research of available documents and procedures with the aim to gain the highest quality material for further processing. Split into the three stages of digitalisation, restoration, and re-mastering, the process is similar to that in fine arts; we proceed from the largest sound scratches to the finest, gradually removing them. Re-mastering is the final polishing and packing for the requirement of screenings at current cinemas and data carriers.
-
Music
Our state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos Music mixing stage has allowed us to expand beyond the scope of sound post-production in picture. Whilst music mixing remains an integral part of our work in film, TV, and advertising, mixing, mastering, or re-mastering of music albums for binaural and spatial audio allows us to cater to the current technological needs of artists and listeners.
We look forward to
sharing our sound obsession with you.
