Why Use Foley and Location Recording
Li & Ortega's game audio outsourcing team specializes in capturing the world as it sounds—unfiltered, untamed, and vividly real. Whether it’s a rare tropical birdcall or the hush of dusk settling over a forest trail, we record the sounds others miss. Our field recordings and foley sessions deliver immersive audio that grounds your world in sonic authenticity.
We go beyond libraries. We hunt for the right leaf crunch, the right boot scuff, the exact tone of a sandwich falling into a canyon. If your project needs sound that breathes and moves, we’ll capture it where it lives.
Eliminate stock sound roulette. We put purpose over filler so your world sounds like it actually exists.
Hints You Need Foley Recording
Library sounds feel generic and match your world’s tone or setting
1.
Environmental soundscapes miss layers, wildlife, and real-world presence
2.
Footsteps and clothing swishes lack the right intimacy or texture
3.
Scene transitions feel flat without natural sounds like wind, creaks, or shifting foliage
4.
Your game demands multi-layered reactive sounds, requiring layers that libraries can't provide.
5.

We travel to the site or stage the action, capturing everything with redundancy, multi-mic arrays, and environmental awareness.

Common Foley and Location Recording Questions
How is your location recording different from library sound packs?
We record specifically for your project. Library sounds are pre-made and often too broad. We tailor every recording to match your visual pacing, action, and emotional cues.
Can you deliver in middleware-ready formats?
Yes, we work directly in FMOD, Wwise, Unity, or Unreal. We handle looping, attenuation, and naming conventions.
Do you record internationally?
Absolutely. We combine both as needed. Footsteps, cloth, props can be staged and mixed with location ambiences for realism.
Do you provide voice talent with multiple dialects and accents?
Yes. We’re available for global travel. We plan meticulously to capture rare ecosystems and authentic regional sounds.
