Our values

Creation

With state of the art studios, a collection of hundreds of musical instruments, synthesizers, foley props, microphones and other audio creation tools, Vibe Avenue is constantly pushing forward the boundaries of audio production. Whether creating musical sound design or using found sounds in music tracks, the team excels at blurring lines to create iconic, innovative and cohesive audio landscapes.

Collaboration

Teamwork is the DNA of Vibe Avenue. Brainstorming, knowledge sharing, jamming and feedback sessions are happening constantly and organically and ensure fresh ideas and top quality level. Communication with our partners and clients is also one of our fortes. Super detailed quotes, transparent time tracking, solid follow up and short reaction time to emergencies are all elements that make working with us a premium and seamless experience.

Perfection

Award-winning quality is our top priority. We are extremely passionate about our craft and go to great lengths to ensure that every project gets the love and attention to detail it deserves. With 100+ projects under our belt, a stable and experienced team, detailed procedures and an ever more polished workflow, we leave no stones unturned in combining cost-efficiency with AAA quality.

Innovation

Besides being musicians and sound artists, we are complete geeks and addicted to new technologies. We love to design sophisticated audio systems for interactive music, responsive sound design and haptic feedback. Our deep understanding of both game and audio engines allows us to do a great deal of the audio integration part by ourselves, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow while saving time and money along the way.

Communication

We take pride in our creative process and enjoy showing it. We also understand that marketing is an essential part of an audiovisual work’s success. We have extensive experience in producing making of videos and writing blog articles, as well as creating top tier sounds and music for trailers and other promotional material.
