Voiceover | ADR
“The best Voiceover facilities in Oxfordshire”
ADR Recording
Live Room #2 is a spacious and comfortable vocal booth fitted with a HDTV monitor - making it ideal for voice-overs, ADR, and also podcasts. We provide VOIP using the Source Connect platform (as used by the BBC), which allows us to connect to any studio in the world via our exclusively-leased synchronous gigabit broadband line.
With space for up to 8 or 9 clients and 3 or 4 main actors, the studio has mic points and headphone ports everywhere - making it a great space for vocal group broadcast too. It features a 32” HD TV display - ideal for checking sync.
The studio will lock remotely with LTC Timecode via Source Connect or utilise your chosen platform to stream the picture live (Facetime, Skype, Messenger, Zoom, Twitch etc).
Whatever your specific requirements - just ask, we're here to help!

Live Connection Services
Source Connect, Skype and Zoom are available to stream audio and video remotely. We provide first-class VOIP using the industry standard Source Connect platform (as used by the BBC), which allows us to connect to any studio in the world via our exclusively-leased synchronous gigabit broadband line.
A massive improvement on ISDN, Source Connect provides a more flexible solution for everyone. It integrates with ProTools and Logic Pro to enable remote recording. Remote contacts are able to quickly and easily join a session without needing to know any of the technical details at all.
Other benefits of using Source Connect rather than legacy ISDN include:
Multi-Channel audio up to 7.1 for surround monitoring
Best-in-class audio quality with 320kbps AAC-ELDv2
Fully private VPN for maximum security
Remote Transport Sync overdub and ADR sync mode, for picture-lock with remote talent
“Note*: Please speak to a member of the bookings team about scheduling a free-of-charge test connect prior to your live session.
