ABOUT

Mad Wave Audio, LLC, is an audio production company with headquarters in Los Angeles and Italy. Our award-winning team supports a variety of studios by providing music, sound effects, voice over, and game audio implementation, and works with clients across multiple time zones.

When it comes to video games, we will direct, design, create, and implement audio assets in engine, with or without audio middle-ware. We can completely replace your internal audio department, or work in tandem with your internal resources. We can work on demand when there is a need to ramp up production, or long term for the whole production cycle. Our priority is to help you ship on time and on budget. You give us access to your repository, we make your game sound stellar.

We are audio post production experts, we have extensive experience working on film, TV, commercials, and trailers. We are also a publishing company, and we have a dedicated licensing division that provides music and sound effect to all major studios in support of their marketing campaigns for film and TV shows.
