What Igloo Music Studios does

Igloo Music Studios is a private, family-owned professional audio post-production and recording studio founded in 2000 and headquartered across three Burbank, California facilities — Igloo PALM (228 W Palm Ave), Igloo OLIVE (931 W Olive Ave), and Igloo DUBBING (2917 W Olive Ave) — situated in the Burbank Media District. The company delivers six integrated service lines: Music Production & Recording, Score & Soundtrack Mixing, Voice-Over & ADR, Dolby Atmos Immersive Mixing, Loop Groups (with capacity for up to 12 simultaneous actors at OLIVE Studios), and dubbing/localization. Capabilities are delivered through acoustically-tuned control rooms, multiple iso-booths, editing suites, a live room, and Source Connect-enabled remote recording with video monitoring.

The studio's engineering roster of roughly 20 mixers, engineers, editors, and producers collectively holds 37 Grammy Awards, 3 Cinema Audio Society awards, and 1 TEC award, and has credits on Oscar-recognized productions including KPop Demon Hunters, Zootopia 2, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Fortnite, Kingdom Hearts III, X-Men '97, and music releases for artists such as Santana, Fito Paez, and Rufus Wainwright. The business serves three primary verticals: film and television studios, video game developers, and recording artists/labels.

Igloo Music operates on a project-based professional services model. Pricing is negotiated directly with clients and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: customers reach the studio via direct email ([email protected]) or phone (818-558-7733), with no self-service booking or public rate card. Marketing is light and primarily based on organic industry reputation, supported by Instagram project showcases and placement highlights on Apple Music and Spotify. Ownership is concentrated in the Borner family (Daniel and Alicia Borner as founders, Gustavo Borner as Engineer, Sebastian Borner as Technical Operations), with no external investors, parent company, or public market presence disclosed.
