I could not be anymore happier with the results given. The communication from the start sold me with making the process very easy and fast. From seeing the production on the website to getting our production back I am very pleased with the work.
Jon, who filmed the event for us was top notch. I coordinated the event from California while the sales reps in the area hosted the event. Jon and I took calls so he could make sure het got everything we needed for this event to be filmed and ensure to ask questions so nothing was missed. The sales reps said Jon made the process very seamless and how he made everyone feel comfortable.
From making the process easier being in another state, to making the event successful and capturing all moments, I definitely recommend.

Had an Interview here and the old wrinkly man who interviewed me was extremely rude and passive aggressive. The best time that came out of the interview was that I did not get this job, if I had I would have 10000% quit because of the hostile and aggressive environment. do not use this company unless you enjoy talking to rude old people.

Tried to get one of my Pakistani artists studio time here but they are super selective about who they work with. We offered to do promo and pay for a few hours each week instead of booking their usual five hour minimum but extreme rules for a studio.

This was my first time ever doing an advertisement with my newly formed retail store. I will say that It was one of the best experiences of my life and Murph and the team were such amazing people to work with. They don’t just treat you like a customer, they treat you like family. They are extremely professional and listened to everything i had to say with the utmost respect for my feelings and ideas for what i wanted to project for my message. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I can’t wait to continue working with them in the future!

This was my first experience in having a commercial done. I was as green as they come. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the end result of the filming.
Murph was amazing, so patient with me and really LISTENED to my concerns and vision of what I really wanted out of the experience. The whole production crew were professional, down to earth and incredibly nice to everyone involved. I enjoyed their company so much that I consider them friends now.
I highly recommend working with Rock Advertising and would definitely call on them again if I have a need in the future!

Will work with Rock Advertising again and would suggest them to anyone wanting a great video ad produced!

How much does it cost to hire an audio production company?
The cost of hiring audio production companies varies depending on the type of project, the experience of the producer or sound engineer, the location of the recording studio, and the complexity of the final content.
Typical hourly rates according to multiple agency sources include:
Recording studio time: $50-$200 per hour, depending on studio equipment and location
Audio engineer or sound engineer: $50-$150 per hour
Music producer: $50-$500+ per hour, depending on experience and reputation
Professional audio editors: $90-$200 per hour for complex audio projects such as narrative podcasts or film dialogue editing.
In large media markets such as Los Angeles or New York, premium studios equipped with Pro Tools systems, advanced mixing consoles, and acoustic recording rooms may charge $100-$300+ per hour.
Some studios also offer daily rates. Mid-range professional studios often cost $500-$1,000 per day for recording sessions.
When businesses hire audio production agencies for larger projects, total budgets often fall into these ranges:

Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months.Â
Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing.Â

Industries that commonly hire top audio production companies include:

Video production and corporate media
Video games and interactive media
Live events and concerts
What should I look for in an audio production agency portfolio?
Key factors decision-makers should evaluate when reviewing an audio production agency portfolio include:
A diverse range of projects Strong audio production agencies typically showcase 10 to 30 portfolio projects covering a wide range of work, such as commercials, podcasts, music production, video production, and sound design.
High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each) Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
Evidence of experience across multiple industries The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.
Collaboration with recognized brands, artists, or musicians Many companies highlight notable clients or collaborations, such as brands, advertising agencies, or well-known artists. Even a portfolio that includes 5-10 recognizable clients or campaigns can demonstrate credibility and industry trust.
Proof of measurable impact or performance results Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
Recent work from the past 2-3 years Because audio technology and digital media evolve quickly, a strong portfolio should highlight recent projects completed within the last 24-36 months.Â
