Soulard Content Studio · St. Louis, Missouri
Your content, made properly.
A podcast and video studio in Soulard for people who are tired of sounding like they recorded in a spare bedroom. Multicam video, a room that was treated on purpose, and somebody running it while you talk.
What we do
Four things, done properly.
Not a menu of everything a camera can be pointed at. These are the things this room is built for.
- 01
Multicam video podcasts
Three camera positions, set and marked, so episode ninety is framed like episode one. Lit properly, recorded clean, cut to whatever length your show runs.
- 02
Studio-quality audio
A treated room, not a quiet corner. Interviews, voiceover, narration, and vocal or acoustic tracking that does not need rescuing afterwards.
- 03
Post-production
Edit, colour, mix and delivery in the formats you actually publish in. You can take the raw files and do it yourself, or hand the whole thing over.
- 04
Workshops and training
Small groups, hands-on, in the room. Production taught by someone who does it rather than someone who has read about it.
How a session works
Show up, record, leave with files.
- 01
Tell us what you are making
A sentence is enough to start. Format, roughly how many people, and when you would like to be in.
- 02
We quote it
A real number for your session, not a rate card you have to interpret. If what you need is not something we should be doing, we will tell you that instead.
- 03
Come and record
Setup is handled before you arrive. You walk in, sit down, and talk.
- 04
Leave with your files
The raw material is yours at the end of the session. Editing, if you want it, follows on a schedule agreed up front.
On price
Every session is quoted.
There is no rate card on this site, and that is deliberate. A two-hour solo voiceover and a four-camera panel with three guests are not the same job, and pricing them off the same hourly figure means one of you is overpaying.
Tell us what you are making and you will get a number for your session, with what it includes written out. If it turns out we are the wrong fit, you will hear that instead of a quote.
Our other half
Building your own setup instead?
Rigboom is our sister site: complete creator kits specified as whole systems — every part, every cable, and which port it goes in — at three budgets. Plenty of people book a session here and build a rig there. Neither one requires the other.
Visit RigboomWho it is for
People who need it to sound right.

Vocals, acoustic instruments and voiceover in a space that was treated on purpose.

Questions
The ones we get asked.
What does a session cost?
It is quoted per project rather than off a rate card, because the jobs are not comparable. Describe what you are making and you will have a number and what it covers.
Can I see the room first?
Yes — ask for a tour in the form and we will arrange a time. It takes about half an hour and there is nothing to pay.
How many people can I bring?
The table seats four on camera. If you are planning something bigger, say so in your enquiry and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
Do I need to bring equipment?
No. If you would rather work on your own gear, mention it in advance and we will sort it out before the day.
Can I record music, not just talking?
Yes — the room is treated for voice and acoustic sources. Vocals, acoustic instruments and DI are all straightforward. Full live drums is a conversation, not a no.
Do you edit, or just record?
Either. Plenty of people take the raw files and cut it themselves. If you want it finished, that is agreed and scheduled when the session is booked.
How do I get started?
The form on this page, hello@locomotiondigital.com, or (512) 565-3838. All three reach the same person.
