Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 5.1 and 7.1 surround?
5.1 uses six channels: left, center, right, left surround, right surround, and LFE (subwoofer). 7.1 adds two additional rear channels for more precise sound placement behind the listener. We can mix in either format and create appropriate downmixes for different playback scenarios.
How do you ensure mixes translate well to different systems?
We monitor on calibrated speaker systems meeting ITU standards, and we check mixes on multiple playback systems including consumer configurations. We carefully manage channel correlation and create appropriate fold-downs to ensure your surround mix sounds great everywhere from cinema to living room.
Can you create surround mixes from stereo sources?
Yes, we can upmix stereo content to 5.1 or 7.1 surround using sophisticated spatial processing techniques. While native surround mixing typically yields the best results, upmixing can effectively create immersive experiences from existing stereo masters when original stems aren't available.
Do you support Dolby Atmos?
Yes, we can prepare and deliver Dolby Atmos mixes for theatrical and home distribution. Atmos adds height channels and object-based audio for even more immersive experiences. We'll discuss the best approach for your project based on distribution requirements and budget.
