The rate for our commercial customers seeking ADR and voiceovers services is currently $150hr. Typically our commercial customers do not require any editing or mixing services. For our locally-based musicians, we occasionally offer discounted "community rates" for those groups having little to no budget for bringing their music to market. But unlike ADR and voicevoer sessions, much more time is required for music projects as those sessions typically require many more hours after the recording is completed to properly edit and mix songs. The same rate structure applies whether we are recording, editing or mixing. Maybe you are just interested in a “quick-and-dirty” recording to share just with friends and family. Those projects involve much less time for polishing. So the best way to approach any project is to pre-determine your budget and let us figure out what we get accomplished for you within that budget.

The studios are NOT LOCATED at our official mailing address (365 E. Avenida De Los Arboles, Suite #75, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360.) That's just where we receive our mail. Studio "A" (voiceovers, ADR, small bands) is located in the Newbury Park section of Thousand Oaks, a city in Ventura County just North of Los Angeles. Studio "B" (for large bands, rehearsals and performances) is located in the city of Oxnard, also in Ventura County, about 20 miles North of Thousand Oaks. The actual address for each studio is kept confidential until bookings are confirmed in order to discourage unscheduled visits.

We have 2 separate recording facilities. Studio A (located in the Newbury Park section of Thousand Oaks) is primarily used for small groups, singer-songwriters, ADR and voiceover recording sessions. It has a modest size live room and 5 piece bands have recorded there. It is not intended for band rehearsals although it can do so if really needed. Conversely, Studio B, located in Oxnard, is larger and has a performance stage, lighting and a PA system. Studio B can handle much larger groups while also offering the opportunity for bands to record music while “all in the room.”

The Sound Palace uses microphones built by Neumann, AKG, Sennheiser, Royer Labs, Mojave Audio, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica, ElectroVoice and Shure. These feed microphone preamps from Neve, SSL, Massenburg, Universal Audio, Vintech, and Focusrite. From there the sound is recorded in Pro Tools Ultimate HDX and mixed through an array of outboard processors from SSL, Dangerous Music, Smart Research, Empirical Labs, , Purple Audio and a pair of vintage DBX 160VU’s.

We are usually scheduling within about about 2-3 weeks. Short duration sessions (1-2 hours) and voiceover projects can typically be squeezed in sooner.

You can send an inquiry using the adjacent form. Or you can send an email to TheSoundPalace[at]gmail.com. Or you can give us a call at (805) 499-1311. The first two options might get a faster response. We tend not to answer the phone during sessions to keep attention focused on the client’s session and sometimes we don’t check the messages until after midnight.
