Audiobook Production Studios
Audiobook Production Studios Built to Sound RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
Professional Los Angeles audiobook production, Professional Boston audiobook production: narration, punch-and-roll editing, mastering, and ACX/Audible-compliant delivery, engineered by people who record voices for a living.
What's Included
Four studios. One sound.
Every audiobook that comes through soundBOX moves through the same disciplined process, with no outsourced editing and no guessing on delivery specs.
01
Narration Recording
Directed or self-directed sessions in acoustically treated booths, with an engineer monitoring levels, room tone, and performance consistency across every chapter. Directors available upon request.
02
Punch & Roll Editing
Clean pickups edited in place, breath and mouth-noise management, and chapter-by-chapter continuity so nothing sounds stitched together.
03
Mastering & QC
Loudness-matched, noise-floor-checked, and run through a full quality-control pass before a single file leaves the building.
04
ACX / Audible Delivery
Files delivered to spec: RMS, peak, noise floor, and room tone requirements met on the first submission, not the third resubmission.
Why It Matters
Professional stories deserve professional audio
Most ACX rejections aren’t performance problems. They’re room problems. Here’s what changes when the room is built for this.
soundBOX Studio
- Acoustically treated booth, measured and tuned
- Engineer monitoring live for noise floor and consistency
- Punch-and-roll fixes happen in the session, not after
- Mastering and QC pass before delivery
- First-submission ACX compliance
Our Boston Location Was Built Around Audiobooks.
While every soundBOX location handles narration work, our Boston/Cambridge studio specializes specifically in long-form audiobook production: publisher-facing workflows, multi-week narrator schedules, and ACX delivery built into the room from day one.
If you’re a publisher, narrator, or rights holder on the East Coast, this is the fastest path from manuscript to a compliant, mastered audiobook.
Frequently Asked
Before You Book
Cost depends on manuscript length, narrator, and whether you need directed sessions or self-directed booth time. Reach out with a page or word count and we’ll put together an accurate quote, not a generic per-finished-hour guess.
Yes. Every session is recorded and mastered to ACX/Audible technical specifications, including RMS, peak level, and noise floor, and checked before delivery so files pass on first submission.
Both. Punch-and-roll editing, noise cleanup, mastering, and a full QC pass are included as part of the audiobook production process, not offered as a separate add-on.
Either. Bring your own narrator and we’ll record, edit, and master the project, or let us know the genre and tone you’re looking for and we can help source narration talent.
Turnaround depends on manuscript length and studio availability. Most single-narrator audiobooks move from first session to delivered, ACX-ready files within a few weeks. We’ll give you a firm timeline once we know the scope.
