Audio Post Production
Audio for video is often like a cricket that snuck into your home that you hear incessantly but just can't seem to find.
It keeps you up at night, distracts you from your main tasks and makes it seemingly impossible to ever settle.
Everything seems to be in its place except this one god forsaken thing.
Good news, we love dealing with this little cricket called Audio.

Hear It For Yourself
Due to the wide variety
of raw audio quality we receive,
it's hard to show what we actually do.
So, here is a video where we exhibited a before and after example:
raw audio from a boom mic straight into a field recorder and then the same audio but edited,
mixed + mastered. This will give you an accurate example of what exactly we can do with any kind of audio.

I remember the first two audio post production jobs I ever managed. The first one had exquisite audio. Was pure, clean, no background noise, no mic noise (hum/hiss), nothing. Just high class audio. I mean a freshly showered Leonardo DiCaprio level of audio. Sorry for that. Anyways, I dove in as a zealous amateur and did alright, solely because the audio was so great raw. With my head high and my boss decently happy, I took on the second video. Much to my chagrin, I felt the swift decline of my chin and the expeditious deterioration of my pride as I opened up the worst sounding audio I've heard in my extensive 3 hour long career. The devil himself in a suit and tie some might say... an interview on a construction sight. Jackhammers, cranes, hangry workers and a soft spoken interviewee who exhibited the kind of excitement in every breath that felt reminiscent of watching CSPAN. I was hoodwinked. I thought, given the quality of the studio I was in, we would only receive Hollywood level audio and our jobs were as easy as drinking scotch and talking about the olympics and not trying to mix an interview that sounded like it was recorded inside of a vacuum cleaner. Yet for the first time in at least 3 minutes, I was wrong. I had two options I could perceive: 1 - give up, crawl to Mcdonalds and try to supersize the rest of the USA for my career. 2 - try. So, after having my mouth water for about 6 minutes imagining the free Mcdonalds I could receive by being an employee, I took my health into consideration and decided to go with option 2. I tried. I failed. My boss came in. Fixed my work (re-did all of it) and sent it off. Was I bummed? You bet your ass I was. I thought I was the Keanu Reeves of audio post production, the eagles eye of the greater auditory experience. Yet, I was just the emperor in his new clothes. There I was, a dejected amateur who for the first time in his life felt the challenge of a big boy career calling.
So, 6 years later, I'm still getting vengeance on that one construction sight interview and taking on the personal responsibility of cleansing this dejected world of impure audio from the Far East to the deep west. Little much?
Not at all.
