Sound Design
Have us enhance your show with a custom soundscape or Sound FX addition!
We can create sound effects to enhance impacts, thematic ideas, or just have your show stand out with a different flavor. We will provide files in the file-type you need based on your equipment or can give you a ready-to-use MainStage file.
We can also create synth parts if the show does not have any and provide you a ready-to-use MainStage file (Apple product) with synth patches based on the sound libraries you have available for use.
**If a show already has a Synth part and Sound FX as a part of the design, you do not need to purchase this product to utilize those sounds as they are already included!
