Working in a soundproofed environment is crucial to achieving high quality productions, allowing you to capture crisp, clean audio as intended. That said, finding the right soundproof studio in London can be more of a challenge than you might think.Today we’ll be presenting what we think are the most important questions to ask when looking for a soundproof studio and how to find the best match for your project.
Balancing The Budget
From major Hollywood blockbusters to bedroom podcasts, all productions have to work within their budgets. What this often leads to is cost cutting measures - efforts to pull resources from the production without causing too much damage to the final product.Invariably one of the most common victims of cost cutting is the choice of studio. While the team might want to work in a state of the art studio with all the best facilities, they’re often forced to make do with less.So how should you factor this in when choosing your soundproof studio in London?How you balance your budget will, of course, have a lot to do with the specifics of your production but it’s important to stress that short term spending can often lead to long term savings. Investing up front in a studio with high quality equipment and appropriate spaces will practically guarantee that the production runs more smoothly, giving you more options in the event of unexpected problems.
Previous Productions
If you want to feel truly confident in the studio you’re hiring, then be sure to look into previous productions that have used that space as well as testimonials. Doing so can not only give you a clear idea of the strengths of a space but it can also provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what can be achieved.Furthermore, don’t be afraid to reach out to teams who’ve worked in that space before to ask them if there’s anything you ought to know. This can help you refine your production plan to better suit the space you’ll be working in.
A Knowledgeable Team
Last but certainly not least, a knowledgeable and helpful team can make a major difference. In the lead up to the shoot, you need to feel comfortable that you can ask any questions and prepare yourself for any eventuality. To do that, you’ll need to be working with a studio that understands the requirements of productions and can work with you to ensure that you get the best use out of the space.If you’re looking for the very best in London soundproof studios, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at Mount Pleasant Studio by emailing simon@mountpleasantstudio.com or calling us at 07405 084487.
