Mixing is possibly the most important part of the audio post production process. To achieve an accurate mix that translates well to
other environments such as a cinema, the process needs to be carried out in a room that is as acoustically neutral as possible.To this end, our control room is fitted out with the best acoustic treatment in the business – RealTraps.
The video below shows why acoustic treatment is the key:
As an example of what might need to be done during a mix, we recently worked on a film that involved the following:
● Gating including extensive automation of parameters
● Cleanup of noisy and faint location recordings
● Composition of a custom ambient track
● Replacement of some audio events with clearer sounds from our library
● A small amount of foley work
● A small amount of compression in one area
● Equalisation
● Comprehensive volume automation to ensure everything sat at the right level throughout the piece
Our mixing
work is done on a Pro Tools 8 system with an extensive array of
Universal Audio plug-ins.
We also have a selection of outboard gear including
the
TC Electronic M3000 which has an extensive array of film and post programs.
