By Christopher House Posted: Wednesday August 21 2019

It's no secret that Shanghai's got a massive music scene. From jazz festivals to femme-focused DJ collectives, there's a little something for anyone wanting to get out and hear tunes they like. But when it comes to recording your own sound just the way you want it, that's a little trickier to find. Whether you're a musician looking to release an album, a filmmaker who needs background sound or just doing a bit of voiceover work, here are Shanghai's top studios where you can get audio services done.

YL Music Lab

This studio and band rehearsal space provides standard sound recording services – mixing, mastering and so on. YL also can create original compositions based on your requirements, whether that’s background music for a commercial or film, or a song for your band. You can also rent equipment like amps and stage lights for your next live performance, as well as cameras for a photo or video shoot.

Ker Sound Studios

With big name clients under its belt from adidas and Audi to Coca-Cola and L’Oréal, it’s safe to say that Ker Sound Studios knows what it’s doing. The studio offers a variety of music-related services – original music production, mixing, sound design, post-production and so on – for virtually every form of media. If your project is voice-related, the studio specialises in voice-over and dubbing for feature films, commercials, animation, video games and more. The venue also helps with song clearance through indie and major labels.
