Aura-Sonic, Ltd. (ASL) is a remote recording company based in Queens, New York, that specializes in mobile and location production, audio for video broadcasting,[1] video production, sound reinforcement and on-site automated dialogue replacement.[2] ASL was founded in 1977[3] by recording engineer and producer Steve Remote.[4] The company owns and utilizes a fleet of adaptable mobile vehicles and portable packages for its audio/production projects.[5]

History

In 1977, recording engineer Steve Remote partnered with Joel Schreiber to create Aura-Sonic, Ltd. Remote had been recording professionally at Max's Kansas City[6] since 1976 while Schreiber, a graduate from the American Academy of the Dramatic Arts, was managing a children's clothing store in Flushing, Queens. Not content with operating a conventional recording studio, Steve decided to create a studio on wheels so they could go the client instead of the client going to them.[7] From 1977 to 1983, Schreiber was the President of ASL with Remote acting as the Vice President and chief engineer. In 1983, Remote bought out Schreiber's stake in the company and became the sole owner.
