We specialize in music tracking, hybrid digital/analog mixing, and analog/digital mastering as well as Live Concert Sound Mixing (Adam Camardella) and remote recording.

We have placed emphasis and excelled at recording services such as ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) for film and television, Award-winning Music Recording, Audio Books, and Sound Design/Mixing for nature film documentaries.

ADR

Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which supplementary recordings are mixed with original sound to create the finished soundtrack.

Music

Music production falls into three distinct phases: tracking, mixing, and mastering. Each phase places different demands on the recording facility.

Past clients include: Joe Cocker, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Depeche Mode, Blues Traveler, Chick Corea, Charles Lloyd, Herbie Hancock, Ottmar Liebert, Maynard Ferguson, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, YES, Robert Cray, Airto & Flora Purim and many more.

Audio Books

Santa Barbara Sound Design has become the go-to-destination for recording Audio Books. A few authors worth mentioning are: TC Boyle, Fannie Flagg, Jack Canfield, Stephen Mitchell, (Grammy Award Winning) Carol Burnett and more.

Sound Design

Sound design creates stunning effects and audio environments whose intention is to immerse the listener or viewer in the story being told.
