Foley Sound Services
Authentic. Artful. Unforgettable.
At TripleTone Audio Post, we bring stories to life—one carefully crafted footstep, creak, and rustle at a time. Foley is more than just adding sound effects—it’s a critical part of immersive storytelling that bridges the gap between performance and sound. Whether it’s the subtle scuff of boots across a desert floor or the visceral snap of a broken bone, Foley makes your audience feel like they’re right there in the scene.
Our Foley Process
At TripleTone Audio Post, our Foley workflow is designed to deliver premium results—on time and on budget. We work closely with filmmakers, editors, and mixers to ensure seamless integration from spotting to final mix.
1. Spotting Session
We review your locked picture and identify every moment that needs Foley—from clothing rustle to high-impact body falls. Every cue is categorized (Footsteps, Hand/Body, Props, etc.) and prioritized.
2. Stage Performance
Using our treated Foley stage and vast prop library, our Hollywood trained Foley Artist performs the cues in sync with the action, guided by timing, rhythm, and storytelling beats.
3. Microphone Capture
High-end microphones and pristine analog/digital signal chains ensure we capture every nuance. Our mic selection and placement is tailored for each cue to maximize realism and clarity.
4. Editing & Sync
Captured Foley is cleaned up, tightened, and precisely synced to the picture. We provide both raw tracks and mixed versions depending on your post needs.
5. Delivery
We deliver broadcast-ready stems, conformed to your session’s specs—whether stereo, 5.1, or Atmos—and ready for final mix.

Foley FAQ
What Is Foley?
Foley is the art of recreating everyday sound effects in sync with a film’s visuals. Named after sound pioneer Jack Foley, this technique covers everything from footsteps and fabric movement to body hits, door creaks, and prop handling. Unlike pre-recorded sound libraries, Foley is performed live to picture by skilled artists, creating organic sounds that feel connected and believable.
At its best, Foley is invisible—it draws viewers deeper into the world of the film without ever announcing itself. That’s why top-tier productions rely on expert Foley artists and recordists who understand not only how to make a sound, but when, why, and how it should land emotionally.
What’s the difference between Foley and sound effects from a library?
Foley is custom-performed to match your picture perfectly. Libraries can be useful, but nothing beats the emotional precision and realism of live Foley performance.
How long does Foley usually take?
Depending on the complexity of the project, a full feature might take 3–7 days for performance and another 1–2 days for editorial. Commercials and shorts can be turned around in 24–72 hours.
Do I need Foley for my indie film?
Yes—especially if you want clean dialogue and a believable soundscape. Foley enhances realism and helps your film feel “finished,” even on a modest budget.
