Audio Alchemy

Where narration becomes finished audio.

Jones Audio is a post-production studio for audiobook publishers, narrators, and self-publishing authors. We edit, proofread, and master to retailer spec — so your title ships on time and sounds the way you intended.

Process

A workflow built around publishing deadlines.

Four steps from the raw recording you send to a deliverable that passes retailer QC on the first upload.

Step 01
Send your files
Upload the raw recording, manuscript, and any pronunciation notes. WAV or AIFF preferred; we accept anything.
Step 02
Edit & clean
Punch-and-roll cleanup, breath control, mouth-click removal, and consistent room tone across sessions.
Step 03
Proof against manuscript
Word-for-word check. Skips, misreads, and pronunciation flags returned with timecodes for pickups.
Step 04
Master & deliver
Loudness, EQ, and limiting tuned to ACX, Audible, Spotify, or Apple Books spec. Files delivered chapter-split.
What we do
