Should you need Location Sound (external audio mixer, boom microphones and operator), for outside audio work and pieces-to-camera/film productions, we can also provide that.
The Studio also has recording / re-recording facilities, which include voiceover/narration facilities (studio condenser microphones, lavalier microphones, headphones, XLR/TRS audio cables and cables/adapters for instruments and all audio situations).

Tracklay / Mix
We tracklay & mix projects using a mixture of: Avid Media Composer, Logic Pro X, iZotope RX and sound libraries.
Our in-house mixing console is the Avid Artist Mix.
For any Films / Projects which require 5.1 (or higher) mixes - we collaborate with our pool of freelance and facility-based dubbing mixers and sound designers to realise the client's vision.
All projects mixed in-house are in Stereo (2.0) only.

Quality Control (QC) & Delivery
All in-house & external audio deliverables are mixed at EBU R128 Loudness Specification, so that it complies with UK/European Broadcast Audio Specifications.
In most cases, technical adjustments are required to be made by us for any EBU 128 audio deliveries being turned into theatrical audio masters for theatrical masters (DCPs & ProRes Masters).
The Full Service QC process affirms our adjustments, normally where we acquire a Dolby Reference Level from the projectionist/technical manager at the testing venue. This information is given to the client to certify the content's reliability in other cinemas (being screened at) in the future.
