Before any frame is drawn… before a single character moves… your story already exists. A Presoundtrack is a fully produced audio version of your animated project — complete with voice acting, sound design, and music — delivered before you animate. It’s like hearing your show before it's made! And it changes everything.
A Presoundtrack is comprised of:
A complete voice cast (scratch or final)
Original underscore tailored to your story
Full cinematic sound design
Timed, mixed, and edited to match your intended pacing
In short: It’s your show, just without the visuals (yet).This becomes the blueprint for your animation team, editor, storyboard artists, and even executives!
But why not just use a scratch track, you ask? Well, traditional scratch tracks are often rough, unscored, and quickly assembled — which leads to misunderstandings, misreads, and major revisions down the line.
By contrast, a Presoundtrack is intentional, fully fleshed out, and crafted by master storytellers to:
Catch story issues early
Lock timing before animation begins
Guide performance and pacing
Eliminate surprises and costly rework
And if all that isn’t amazing enough, the Presoundtrack ELIMINATES the need, time, and cost of audio post production! By the time your project is ready for audio post, the Presoundtrack needs only a final polish pass and our re-recording mixers deliver your top-notch, broadcast-ready final mix!
