Professional Foley Recording from Basel
Make movements audible
Foley Recording creates sounds in sync with the image and adds acoustic elements to productions that make scenes fully tangible.
For film productions, games and audiovisual projects
Sound production for the comprehensible depiction of actions in the image
Foley recording is the subsequent recording of sounds that support movements, actions or interactions in the image. It is used in films, series, advertising, games and documentary formats to make scenes acoustically complete and comprehensible.
A good Foley recording is closely oriented to the image, is precise in terms of timing and complements the original sound without distracting. It depicts material, surface, weight and movement in such a way that the action remains clearly comprehensible.
OSLO STUDIOS produces Foley recordings in controlled studio acoustics with clear coordination between Foley artist, sound engineer and editor. The sounds are created in our own studio and are then edited and integrated into the soundtrack.
A Foley recording usually includes the recording of the individual actions, the selection of the appropriate props, the editing of the takes and the mixing in the context of the overall sound design.

What is Foley Recording?
Foley recording refers to the subsequent recording of everyday sounds that are precisely synchronized to the image in the studio. In contrast to sound effects from libraries, Foley is individually tailored to movement, character and environment. The result is a dense, lively soundtrack that blends seamlessly into the audiovisual experience.
Why is Foley so important if sound is already being recorded on set?
The eye is forgiving, the ear is not: missing or flat sounds break the illusion and reduce the production value. Only credible sounds make a movie world seem complete. Set recordings rarely meet this need because microphones are far away or sources of interference dominate. Targeted Foley recordings close this gap and create a soundtrack that carries the plot, pace and atmosphere.
How does Foley differ from library sound effects?
Foley is individually recorded and precisely matched to the image, while library sounds are pre-produced effects that often do not fit precisely.
When is Foley worthwhile?
Foley is always worthwhile when the original sound is disruptive, incomplete or not clean enough. Foley is also indispensable in animation, games or commercials without real sound.
What sounds are typically produced?
This includes steps, clothing, touches, props, surfaces and small movements. Special sounds can also be produced individually.
How do Foley and sound design differ?
Foley recreates real movements and objects. Sound design creates additional soundscapes or abstract effects. Both areas complement each other in the overall mix.
Can OSLO STUDIOS also supply complete sound packages?
Yes, OSLO STUDIOS offers Foley, dialog editing, sound design and mixing from a single source.
