We achieve this by utilising state-of-the-art equipment, expertly managing audio specifications, and adhering to industry best practices. Our skilled audio engineers ensure optimal loudness, clarity, and balance throughout each production, while our meticulous attention to detail in editing and mastering guarantees a seamless and immersive listening experience.

Equipment:

Our professional recording studios have industry-leading microphones, preamps, and soundproof booths, ensuring pristine audio capture. We utilise high-quality headphones and monitoring systems for accurate playback during recording and editing sessions.

Audio Specifications:

We adhere to stringent audio specifications to guarantee a consistent and polished final product. Our skilled audio engineers expertly handle noise reduction, equalisation, and compression, maintaining optimal loudness levels and ensuring a well-balanced sound throughout the audiobook.

Getting the Formats and Metadata right

Packaging and File Format:

Swann Studio delivers your audiobook as a series of high-quality MP3 files, the standard format for compatibility across various devices and platforms. Each file is meticulously encoded at a bitrate, ensuring the perfect balance between audio quality and file size for an optimal listening experience.

Raw Audio is the Key

We understand the importance of preserving raw WAV files as the single source of truth for every audiobook project. As audio quality standards evolve, what was once considered high-quality may no longer meet the expectations of today's discerning listeners. By retaining the original, uncompressed recordings from our narrators, we ensure that the creative essence of your story is never lost. This foresight allows us to revisit the raw material at any point in the future, applying the latest advancements in mastering technology to revitalise and enhance your audiobook, ensuring it remains relevant and captivating for new listeners.

Tagging and Metadata:

We take great care in tagging and embedding essential metadata into your audiobook files. This information includes the title, author, narrator, genre, and publisher and accurate chapter markings for easy navigation. Our attention to detail ensures your audiobook is catalogued correctly and recognised by distribution platforms and playback devices.
