In a world where attention spans are short and competition for engagement is fierce, sound and music remain some of the most powerful tools in a marketer’s arsenal. Whether it’s the emotional pull of a voiceover, the energy of a cinematic score, or the crisp clarity of a product jingle, audio can elevate a campaign from ordinary to unforgettable.
Behind this magic lies the expertise and artistry of world-class recording studios - spaces where creativity meets cutting-edge technology. These studios don’t just record sound; they craft immersive experiences that breathe life into brands, turning concepts into campaigns that resonate deeply with audiences across every platform.
At Audio Network, we understand that world-class musicians require world-class recording studios, which is why our catalogue was created at some of the world’s most prestigious facilities. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the importance of high quality music in branded content.
What Is High Quality Music and Why Does It Matter?
Premium products require premium music – opt for anything less and you’re potentially cheapening your offering. And when we talk about high quality music, we mean music created by real musicians.
High quality music considers emotional resonance and authenticity, be it traditional Dominican bachata or bleeding-edge electronic music. These performances are then captured by expert engineers, ensuring the resulting recordings display clarity and dynamic range, and that they are mastered for a consistent playback experience across devices.
World-Class Recording Studios
Here at Audio Network, we pride ourselves on the quality of our recordings. That’s why we book sessions at studios including Abbey Road Studios, AIR Studios, School Farm Studios and Vienna Synchron Stage, helping our composers and musicians to create recordings of the highest fidelity.
AIR Studios
Based in the glorious, Romanesque surrounds of Lyndhurst Hall in Hampstead, Sir George Martin’s AIR is one of the most prestigious recording studios in the world. Offering full orchestral recording capacity, it is the birthplace of many Oscar-winning and nominated scores, including Atonement (Dario Marianelli), Phantom Thread (Jonny Greenwood) and Interstellar (Hans Zimmer).
