We work in the space most studios call silence.

The studio behind the work — who you'd actually be sitting with, the room you'd be making it in, and why we believe world-class sound can be cut from Dhaka.

I The case for Dhaka

World-class work doesn't belong to a postcode. It belongs to whoever will hear the thing again, and again, until it's right.

Shobdo was built on a stubborn idea — that a record made in Dhaka can stand, unannounced, beside anything cut in London or Los Angeles, and be judged only on how it sounds. We keep the whole chain under one roof and one set of ears: no handoffs between cities, no version lost in the post.

The person who hears your first take is the person who signs off the master. What this city teaches is patience — the willingness to sit with a sound until it earns its place. The rest, the references and the tolerances and the discipline of a great room, we hold ourselves to without compromise.

II The ears

The same ears, first take to final master.

A small studio on purpose. Few enough people that nothing gets handed off, and the credit list reads like a conversation, not a directory.

01 · Since '14 Imran Hossain Founder · Re-recording Mixer Mixes the way he listens — slowly, then all at once.

02 · Since '16 Tahmina Rahman Head of Mastering The last pair of ears before anything leaves the building.

03 · Since '18 Arif Chowdhury Composer · Original Score Writes for picture; records it live, in the room.

04 · Since '19 Nusrat Jahan Recording Engineer Catches the take you didn't know you needed.

IIIThe room

One room. Six disciplines. A single signal path.

From a quiet tracking room to the mastering chair, the work never leaves the building — or the people who started it. The gear matters less than the habit of hearing the same thing the same way, every time.
