What We Do
Sound design for multimedia requires a combination of skills and talents that is unique to this industry. One must be an artist, engineer, technician, and hacker. Producing audio in this field involves more than just composing great music and delivering sound effects or voiceover under tight deadlines. Audiosyncrasy's mission is to deliver a full range of audio production services, while lending technical expertise to help our clients navigate through the process of implementing sound in the project, including file formats, delivery systems, production techniques, authoring tools, and yes, workarounds.

Casual Games
Our sounds and music are featured on over 50 casual games created for Walt Disney Internet Group, as well as product promotions for online advertising. See the portfolio for examples.
Studio Setup
Our digital studio is loaded for bear: Pro Tools and Logic Pro running on a maxed-out Mac, plus Sound Forge, and GigaStudio running on the PC, all of it fed through MOTU hardware into a Tascam DM-24 digital mixer and Genelec 1030A monitors. Of course, there's a lot more going on under the hood, since most composing, editing and processing is done in software. If you want all the geeky details, feel free to inquire. But where does the music come from? Stacks of keyboards, a few guitars, a ukulele, and of course, a slide whistle. Beyond the audio tools, we stock the standard multimedia software for integrating audio, including Flash, Director, Final Cut Pro and QuickTime Pro, and a staggering array of obscure mobile phone conversion apps.
