Waterloo Records Expands Creative Horizons with Launch of Waterloo Sound
Waterloo Records introduces Waterloo Sound, a next-generation post-production studio in Austin, TX, blending immersive audio and video production with vinyl mastering to support modern creative workflows.

Waterloo Records has unveiled Waterloo Sound, a state-of-the-art post-production studio nestled within its newly expanded location in Austin, TX. This innovative venture is set to redefine the creative landscape by offering a comprehensive suite of services tailored for today's multimedia creators. With capabilities ranging from Dolby Atmos music mixing to vinyl lacquer cutting, Waterloo Sound is poised to become a hub for artists, engineers, and content creators seeking cutting-edge production tools.
The studio is built on the Nu•StudioSystem, a modular platform developed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Chad Franscoviak. This system marks its commercial debut at Waterloo Sound, offering spatial audio production and high-resolution visual playback among its features. 'Our partnership with Waterloo Sound is about bringing a shared vision to life, one rooted in both innovation and musical heritage,' Franscoviak remarked, highlighting the significance of this collaboration.
Waterloo Sound distinguishes itself by combining immersive audio post-production with analog vinyl mastering under one roof, a rare offering in the U.S. Jon Niess, a mastering engineer involved in the project, expressed enthusiasm about the studio's potential to serve the creative community, noting the unparalleled quality of the sound environment.
Beyond its technical offerings, Waterloo Sound will enhance the Waterloo Records experience for visitors, featuring in-house vinyl production viewing, a café-style lounge, and a rentable podcast studio. The studio's grand opening is scheduled for August 30, 2025, with bookings available from September. This expansion reflects Waterloo Records' enduring commitment to fostering independent culture and supporting the future of creative production.
