Music Production

The SomaTone Music team is the result of years of talent screening and industry experience to bring you only the most creative, experienced, and talented composers in the world.

Our team is comprised of both a strong internal team of staff composers, but also extends literally around the world, bringing in fantastic composers, arrangers, as well as performers and individual instrumentalists. The result is a world class team, with capabilities that range from Orchestral Cinematic, to Pop/Hip-Hop, Metal to Gamey-Kids music.

From 80-piece orchestral recordings, to Live Band reproductions, to sequenced sample based music production, we have seen, and done it all, with consistently impressive results. Please browse our music player below to get a feel for our versatility, and quality of work.

Sound Design

Our team of SFX Designers truely Specialize in Sound Design. And while we have a custom, 2-terabyte sample library at our fingertip, we regard sound design as exactly that, sound DESIGN. By utilizing the most sophisticated synthesis tools, processors, and audio manipulation techniques, in conjunction with our sample library, field recordings, and foley recording capabilities, our clients end up with unique, creatively inspired Sound Effect, Ambiance, and Environmental design that is never cookie cutter, highly customized, and always a perfect fit for your projects needs.

Voice Over Casting & Production

With production facilities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver, SomaTone has local resources in the 3 BEST locations on the west coast, if not the world, for voice over casting and production. And while we primarily work with both union and non-union talent in these 3 primary locations, we also have a strong network of remote talent options whom we have used throughout the years on a highly diverse portfolio of projects. The results in a DEEP pool of Excellent actors, all available for you on your games!

In addition to a wealth of talent option, we also support phone patch VO capabilities, which allows our clients to phone in and participate in the recording session anywhere in the world, from the comfort of their own offices. And, because we own our own recording facilities, we are able to provide the best rates on both talent and production expenses, making Voice Over as affordable as possible, while still maintaining a very high quality standard for quality and results.

Integration & Technical Support

As any core gaming developer knows only too well, great SFX, draw dropping music, and stellar VO performances are only 50% of the process. Integration and mixing of these assets in proprietary or middle ware game audio engines is critical to a high quality result. our team has provided high level integration support on games of all size, from casual XBLA titles, to Wii and DS, to full blown core MMO’s.
