The Detroit Chop Shop is the world's largest producer of sound
effects for the motion picture, television, radio, and video gaming
industries. Over the last decade, DCS has produced sound effects
non-stop for various libraries and productions, delivering the
freshest cuts in the business.
DCS operates three state of the art sound design
studios, three sound editing suites, a voice over booth, and
Michigan's only Foley sound stage.
Two of the three design studios are set up for 5.1
surround sound mixing and creation. In addition, every studio and
suite maintains proprietary software and workflow that allows for
maximum creativity in any project.
Every studio is networked to one central location,
allowing editors and designers to work on the same project
simultaneously.
DCS' Foley sound stage is perfect for creating
isolated and controlled effects, as well as performing sound for
picture. Adjacent to the Foley stage is a rather large, and at times,
cluttered storage area with thousands of props ranging from guns &
swords to over ten different surfaces. It's a Foley Artist's dream and
a cleaning crew's nightmare!
DCS was founded by
Ric Viers and is a privately held company. To learn more about Ric

The Detroit Chop Shop is not open to the public. Visits are by
invitation only.
