Audio Production
Learn more about our audio options.
Music Production
We cover the whole musical process for your single or full length album. From recording to mixing to mastering, our Senior Audio Engineer, Derek, doesn’t miss a beat.
Our facility has several different rooms that we utilize to find the exact right space for your recording. Whether you have a 7 piece band or are a solo artist, we would be honored to help you record your music in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
We also work with Peter Ratner for mastering if a client would like a second set of well-trained ears on the project.
Radio Commercials
We have extensive experience recording and mixing radio commercials. We work with the largest agencies in the state and beyond, and we can work directly with you in writing, recording, mixing, and mastering your project to make it sound its best.
Voice-Overs & Podcasts
We provide high quality recordings for voice-overs or podcasts, and offer editing and mixing services as well.
Check out our podcast with Amplify Alaska for an example of our work!
Film Sound Design (ADR)
Frostline is fully set up for ADR sessions, whether the director is in the room or calling in from across the globe. For virtual directing on an ADR session, we use our livestreaming rig to send real time audio from Pro Tools, video of the talent, and video of the picture lock.
Some of our ADR clients include: Bento Box (The Great North on FOX), Red Bull Media House, ABC, BBC, PBS, and more.
Studio Rates
At Frostline, we have flexible rates depending on your budget and size of project. We want to support the music and film community here in Anchorage while bringing top-notch quality to your projects!
Please reach out to chat with us about what’s possible.
