FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :
Is the Soundwave Backlot sound isolated ?
Not so much... , we are working to improve the sound isolation of the backlot. It is a metal warehouse and there can be small sound bleed from outdoors and from neighboring studios. Though not perfect, we’ve hosted many successful productions that have recorded live voice and audio.
Parking ?
The backlot has an enclosed parking lot for 6 or 7 vehicles and there are many parking spaces along Wood Street. The yard can also be used for equipment trucks and set builds.
Can we shoot in the outdoor spaces ?
Yes when you rent the backlot you can also shoot outside using the different vibes and backgrounds on the Soundwave property.
What’s the neighborhood like ?
Our West Oakland neighborhood is on the rise with new apartments and businesses. We are a block away from Raimondi park the home of the Oakland Ballers, and two blocks away from the awesome new Prescott market food hall.
