Testimonials

Sonic Lounge Studios... It's become my second home at this point. I've made two records and an EP here. I've worked with Joe. Known him for a really long time. We sort of have evolved together in a way, just because we work so well together. And he's always working on his craft and I'm always working on mine, so I feel like every time we do something it kind of gets better and better.

Our Gear

World-class equipment for world-class sound.

Cue 07 · How to book us

Three ways in

Capture and recap

ASL runs the room. We record every camera and every channel and deliver a recap film and social cuts.

The full show

Staging, sound, lighting and LED walls, the run of show and screen graphics, multicam capture, a mixed full performance and the recap and the social rollout.

Series

A recurring event, venue or brand series, produced and filmed the same way every time.

Recording and the recap are priced into the first quote, so nothing after the night needs a second budget.
