What the service covers
What Is Audio Post-production?
Audio post-production is the editing, cleaning, balancing and final preparation of previously recorded sound. It may include removing unwanted noise, assembling dialogue, blending music and effects, adjusting dynamics, synchronising speech and exporting masters to a delivery specification.
Unlike voice-over recording or dubbing itself, audio post-production concentrates on what happens after the recordings are available. New recording and translation can be arranged separately.

What We Can Do With Your Audio
Audio Clean-up & Restoration
Reduce suitable hiss, hum, room noise and recording artefacts while protecting intelligibility and natural voice quality.
Voice Processing
Apply appropriate EQ, de-essing, compression, tonal matching and level balancing to narration and interviews.
Mixing & M&E Integration
Blend dialogue with supplied music-and-effects (M&E) tracks or stems and finish translated voice recordings for international versions.
Mastering & Loudness
Prepare approved mixes for the intended destination, including agreed loudness, true-peak and dynamic-range requirements.
Technical & Linguistic QC
Check audible defects, sync, clipping, channel mapping, file properties and, when requested, speech accuracy and pronunciation.

Delivery specifications
Loudness Standards & Audio Quality Requirements
We deliver audio post-production to the applicable broadcast, streaming or client delivery standard. We measure programme loudness and true peak using ITU-R BS.1770-5 and follow EBU R 128, ATSC A/85 or other applicable platform specifications as required. Every commissioned master is checked against its agreed loudness target, true-peak ceiling, channel layout, format and metadata requirements before delivery.
- ITU-R BS.1770-5 (2023) — algorithms for programme loudness and true-peak measurement.
- EBU R 128 (version 5.0, 2023) — European broadcast loudness, including the −23 LUFS reference for its defined application.
- EBU R 128 s2 — additional guidance for streaming loudness.
- EBU Tech 3341, 3342 and 3343 — loudness meters, loudness range and production guidance.
- ATSC A/85:2026-07 — modern guidance for US television and related streaming workflows.

Deliverables
What You Receive
Final Audio Master
Agreed mono or stereo format with the specified sample rate, bit depth and delivery naming.
Dialogue / Music / Effects Stems
Separate stems where supported by source recordings or approved project sessions. Flattened audio may not be separable cleanly.
QC Documentation
When requested, a summary of measured loudness, true peaks, channel configuration, file properties and identified issues.
Formats: WAV/BWF and compressed delivery copies as required. 5.1, ADM, Dolby Atmos and other immersive or multichannel delivery must be separately assessed for technical feasibility and specialist support.
Prepare your brief
What Files and Information Do We Need?
Provide your content type, approximate duration, languages, destination platform and available source materials: raw audio, dialogue tracks, music and effects stems or M&E, reference video, approved scripts and the client's technical delivery specification.
Restoration and source separation depend on recording quality and rights to the material. We assess feasibility before committing to a particular outcome.
Frequently asked questions
Audio Post-production FAQs
How do editing, mixing and mastering differ?
Editing arranges and cleans recordings. Mixing balances dialogue, music and effects. Mastering prepares the approved mix to meet delivery requirements.
Can you repair noisy or distorted recordings?
Some noise, hum and clicks can be reduced, but severe clipping, missing speech or heavy background masking cannot always be repaired without audible side effects.
Can you work with AI dubbing or synthetic voices?
Yes, subject to rights and project scope. We can assess timing, audible artefacts, levels and language accuracy with appropriate human review.
Can you mix dubbed dialogue with an M&E track?
Yes, where suitable dialogue and licensed music-and-effects elements are available. Additional reconstruction may require a separate technical assessment.
What LUFS value will you deliver?
We use the target agreed for the broadcaster, streaming platform, podcast distributor or client. There is no single correct LUFS value for every programme.
Do you offer 5.1 or Dolby Atmos?
Surround, ADM and immersive masters require separate confirmation of equipment, engineering capability, source assets and format requirements; they are not part of the standard offer.
Can you supply separate stems?
Where source tracks or an editable mix session exist, separate stems can be quoted. A single stereo master does not guarantee clean voice, music and effects separation.
What does audio QC include?
The agreed checks may cover listening, sync, clicks, clipping, loudness, true peaks, channel mapping, duration, metadata, file format and, if ordered, linguistic consistency.
