TV Postproduction

In TV film and series production the pressure is always on, especially when it comes to tying up loose ends. The broadcast date is fixed, but the final changes to visuals and audio continue to pile up: re-edits, missing bits of voiceover, irritating noises in the mix. No worries! We’ve got you covered! We make the audio fit the edit, clean up messy audio tracks, synchronize, master, you name it. Even for last-minute changes, you can rely on us 100 %.

Commercials

Commercials have to immediately grab people’s attention and draw them in. Here, top quality audio is key. It’s the sound that triggers emotions, creates atmosphere, sets the mood. We compose the right music and create the best sound design for your spot. We also cast the perfect voice talent – that voice that inspires trust, is calming, seductive, or simply easy on the ear. With our sound, your spot will captivate!

Imagefilms

An image film should do what’s on the label: communicate a positive image of your company. It shouldn’t lose the plot halfway through. The impact of the audio is often undervalued in this regard. We create the perfect sound for ideal images and cast the right voice talent to communicate your enterprise.

ADR

3 – 2 – 1 – you need the best performance. Rain creates the premises for that. A dubbing-specific workflow, pleasant ambience, cutter, audio engineer, director, all kinds of microphones. We’re often booked by external studios to record voice talents who are in Cologne.

E-Learning

E-learning should be easy and fun to follow. The audio quality is key here: it’s all down to the voice talent – a pleasing tone and an outstanding ability to deliver the message. The correct, logical stresses and intonations ensure that the listener can immediately grasp the content. In addition to excellent recording quality we offer seamless project management. With automated tools that make typos obsolete, you can always rely on us to name, sort and store your files correctly – and deliver them on time!

There are many ways and means of recording voices. We know them all. And then some. Classic diaphragm microphones large and small; fet or tube; mono or stereo; lavaliere or handheld; dynamic, digital, capsule head or shotgun: we’ve got what you need – just give us a call.

Auido mixing

The high art of any sound studio: it’s all in the mix. That’s where we shape the final sound, root out flaws and emphasize emotional aspects. We make sure speech is clear, expressive and on target, in keeping with top industry standards for TV, cinematic film, internet, games, audiobooks and events.

Projectmanagement

Voice talent A needs to record on day X in studio 1. Agency representation will be on-site and the client wants to be cut in via audio messaging system. Voice talent L can only record in city M, and we need everything by a week ago yesterday. Oh, and localized into 6 languages, please – but that has till the end of the month. No surprises there for our project managers. That’s what they do.

Translation / Text edit

Okay, the best voice talent is booked and ready to rock. But is your text up to the job? Is the translation professional, the grammar and syntax correct?Is the tone right, the phrasing on target?

Music composing

There’s more library music available now than ever before. And yet: many productions cry out for a certain bespoke sound – special music that doesn’t yet exist. We compose original music for your production – in perfect sync with the development of your plot and subplots, with just the right feel and inflections. We have a special affinity for composing title scores and music packages, including sound design for game shows!

Music search

It’s a fact: there is more library music available nowadays than ever before. Our databases are bursting with great sounds and music, just waiting to be deployed in a production.
