How your brand sounds, written and produced.

Audio Production

Official Audio PartnerIn partnership withBusy Bee Studios

Audio identity and production. From a mixed voiceover to a written jingle to a full original track. Bought by brands who've realised every competitor looks similar and sound is the space nobody's using.

The fifteen seconds people hum back at you.

Jingles & Commercials

Jingles and audio for TV and digital commercials — written, sung, produced, and cut to every length a campaign needs. Most brands look like their competitors and sound like nothing at all, which makes audio the cheapest distinctive asset left. You own it outright.

Proof

What we have done here.

These audios are produced by Busy Bee Studios, our official Audio Partner. Those brands are their clients.

What it costs

Straight answer on money.

Priced per project. Number of concepts, whether vocals are involved, and live instrumentation move the number.

Questions
Do we own it forever?

Yes. Full buyout, no licence renewals, no per-use fees. It is your asset.

Is a jingle not dated?

A sung jingle can be. A sonic logo — a short distinctive sting — is what most modern brands actually use, and we will steer you to whichever fits.

Can you use our existing music?

If you own the rights, yes. We can adapt and cut it into a consistent set.

An anthem the whole company can stand behind.

Corporate Theme Songs

Full-length corporate anthems and theme songs — written to what the company actually believes, produced with real vocals and arrangement, and delivered ready for the AGM, the onboarding film, and the ad. Longer than a jingle, and built to be sung along to.

Proof

What we have done here.

These audios are produced by Busy Bee Studios, our official Audio Partner. Those brands are their clients.

What it costs

Straight answer on money.

Priced per project. Live instrumentation, choir or multiple vocalists, and the number of language versions move the number most.

Questions
How is this different from a jingle?

Length and job. A jingle is a few seconds that makes an ad memorable. A theme song is a full track that says what the company is, for the occasions where an ad would be the wrong register.

Can it be in Sinhala or Tamil?

Yes, and often it should be. We write and record in all three, and can deliver language versions of the same song.

Who performs it?

Session vocalists we source and direct, your own people if that is the point, or both. Agreed at the brief.

Original songs written and produced, and covers done properly.

Original & Cover Songs

Original songwriting and studio production for artists and brands, and full studio covers — reworked arrangements, session vocals, and a mix that stands next to the original. If it needs a video, the same team shoots and cuts it, which removes the usual gap between the people who make the track and the people who film it.

What's included

What you actually get.

  • Songwriting and composition, or arrangement of a chosen cover
  • Session musicians or programmed instrumentation
  • Vocal recording and comping
  • Mix and master to streaming specification
  • Instrumental and acapella stems
  • Guidance on the licensing a cover needs to be released
  • WAV 48kHz 24-bit master
  • Streaming-normalised master
  • Instrumental and acapella stems

Proof

What we have done here.

What it costs

Straight answer on money.

Priced per track. Live instrumentation and session vocalists move the number most. Licensing fees for covers are paid by you directly to the rights holder.

Questions
Do we need a licence to release a cover?

Yes, for commercial release you need a mechanical licence from the rights holder. We tell you what is required and point you at the right route, but the licence is obtained by you — we cannot grant it.

Who owns an original song?

Agreed up front and written into the contract. For commercial work it is normally a full buyout to you; for artists it normally stays with you as the artist.

Do you work with our own artists?

Yes. We regularly produce for artists who bring their own material and performers, and we can source and direct a session vocalist when there is none.

Sound for film and TV — recorded, designed, and mixed.

Film & Television

Audio for film, television, and video: voiceover, sound design, dialogue cleanup, music placement, and a broadcast-standard mix. Bad audio makes good footage look amateur faster than bad picture does, which is why we keep this in-house and next to the edit.

What's included

What you actually get.

  • Voiceover recording and direction, studio or on location
  • Sound design and foley
  • Dialogue editing and noise cleanup
  • Music placement and licensing guidance
  • Mix to broadcast loudness
  • Delivery in broadcast and web formats
  • Pro Tools and Logic Pro
  • Broadcast loudness standards (EBU R128)
  • WAV 48kHz 24-bit masters
  • Stems for re-versioning
  • Studio and location recording

Proof

What we have done here.

What it costs

Straight answer on money.

Priced per project by session length and number of finished minutes.

Questions
Can you fix audio we already recorded?

Often, to a point. Cleanup can rescue a lot but cannot recreate what was never captured. We will tell you what is realistic before charging for it.

Do you supply voice talent?

Yes, we can source and direct voice talent, or record yours.

What about podcasts?

Yes — recording, editing, mixing, and mastering to platform specification.
