Our Services ⏷

Studio Le Roy supports the full production chain: recording, editing, mixing, and mastering across stereo and immersive formats, including Dolby Atmos. We are engineered for sessions that need real space and real control, from a single voice to a full band, and all the way up to a complete orchestra in one room.

Clients choose us for engineering-led execution, calm logistics, and deliverables that translate everywhere. Whether it’s a record, a podcast, a voice-over, or a full post-production pipeline for broadcast and cinema, you get a professional workflow, consistent results, and a studio that treats your work with discretion.

  • With our spacious 140m² live room with three iso booths, we are very flexible for any line-up. Our large microphone collection, combined with our acoustics, offers more than enough choice for your intended result. The whole band can play at the same time, while maintaining control for dubs and mixes.

    Combined with our sophisticated headphone system and flexible screens, we can quickly set up any kind of configuration and get started... let's play!

    Our Studio 2 is ideal for smaller ensembles or smaller overdub/vocal sessions.

    We are happy to discuss the recording in detail beforehand, which reduces stress and increases enjoyment on the recording days!

  • In our control rooms, we have both vintage and state-of-the-art equipment at our disposal to achieve a beautiful result. The racks are well stocked! You can mix with the analogue SSL or Cadac, and/or completely ‘in the box’ with the many available plugins. Often, a flexible combination of methods is the best solution. Precise listening in stereo, 5.1 and Atmos ensures that the mixes translate well to different listening situations. Mixing in Atmos not only provides a unique experience, but also ensures that the various deliveries can be created efficiently.

  • EBU R128, -14 LUFS, Dolby 7, Error32, it's all a piece of cake for us.

    Although we are also allowed to master many of our own productions, we also enjoy working on the finalisation of files mixed by others.

    Mastering is, of course, the final stage in a long chain. In addition to our extensive experience, we have the highest quality monitoring and equipment to achieve the best possible end result.

    Studio Le Roy is affiliated with the Apple Digital Masters program, and an approved supplier on the Apple Digital Masters Providers List. 

  • We work with your chosen voice to achieve the best possible delivery.

    Under the direction of your director or our directional input. All this with or without (synchronised) images. A good briefing is, of course, essential, and we make sure to take the time for this in advance.

  • In our isobooths, four speakers and/or actors can work together optimally. For larger groups, the hall is of course available. With the acoustic screens in place, it can be used “dry” and with an audience if required.

    We have extensive experience in supervising the entire process. Editing and mixing are carried out efficiently, with plenty of room for feedback from the client. Mikel also has extensive experience in directing speakers and actors if desired.

  • Our studios are ideal for ADR and score recording and music mixing. Recording and voice-overs with large screen are the norm for us.

    As is desirable for film/television productions, we integrate as well and efficiently as possible into the entire (post) team.

    This to ensure that everything runs as smoothly and comfortably as possible.

    AudioPost is, after all, quite late in the whole process, and deadlines are often pushed back... we understand that without complaining. Another bumpy ride, as usual... it'll be fine.

    Our extensive experience in working with stereo, surround and Dolby Atmos ensures that we can deliver recordings and, if necessary, mixes according to any standard required for the project.

  • For your streaming event and/or recording at our studio, we facilitate the camera crew with our wireless intercom system, equipped with programme sound and TalkBack.

    Your separate cameras can be synchronised using our 4-way Tentacle set and our Avid Synchroniser.

    If a performance or show on location needs to be broadcast or streamed immediately, we typically employ a practical approach with two engineers and two mixing desks.

    One programme mixing desk for the signals from the presentation, applause, intros and zoom/telephone calls, and the performance or music mix from desk 2.

    In addition to the separate applause and acoustic microphones, the splits are made with our Socapex system or via our active XTA units.

    With our help, you can create a beautiful (semi) live album or provide your live videos with a great sound.

  • If a location recording is required for artistic reasons, we can take care of everything for you.

    We have a high-quality recording set that can be deployed quickly.

    For high-end music recordings, our preamplifiers and microphone collection naturally travel with us.

    Extensive headphone mixing and distribution is also possible on location.
