Established in 2002, Waveform Studios has forged a solid reputation as one of Ireland's leading music composition providers. In response to clients' requirements in 2006 Waveform expanded into post-production audio and is now in a position to offer a one-stop shop for all your audio needs. Working creatively to all types of briefs and to tight deadlines is second nature here, and we deliver on time, every time.
AUDIO: Waveform
has 24-bit digital multitrack recording and editing facilities
using the latest Digidesign Protools 8 and MOTU Digital Performer 6, running on
the latest G5 8-core Apple Mac systems, with full OMF/AAF/MXF import and export compatibility
to and from Avid and Final Cut Pro systems. The system offers integral
synchronisation capabilities for locking sound to picture. We also have a sound-proof recording room for v/o and music recording. We have a telephone Hybrid which we use for recording telephone meetings or to direct voice over sessions over the phone instead of using ISDN, emailing the final takes to the client.
We can also offer location 24/96khz
recording facilities.
VIDEO: can be input from Beta, Beta SP or Quicktime Movie and output on the SONY 32" Plasma screen in the studio and onto the monitor in the voice over booth.

SOUND FX: The studio has a wide selection of sound generation devices.
There is an extensive sound library covering everything from
