SURROUND & STEREO MIXING
We specialize in crafting immersive audio experiences that match the clarity and emotion of your visuals. Whether you're mixing for the big screen or the small screen, the right audio format makes all the difference. We offer Surround Mixing in 5.1 & 7.1 and Stereo Mixing at our Atlanta audio post-production studio to ensure your project sounds incredible wherever your audience hears it.
WHY SURROUND MIXING MATTERS
Surround Mixing delivers depth, dimension, and immersion. With six-to-eight discrete audio channels, it places the viewer right inside of the soundscape. This format is essential for projects headed to theaters, festivals, or premium streaming platforms.
Surround mixing also extends the life of your project. Many distributors and streamers now require multi-channel delivery for broadcast and theatrical release.


WHY STEREO MIXING STILL COUNTS
Stereo remains the industry standard for web, social media, and general playback. A well-executed stereo mix is clear, dynamic, and emotionally compelling. It's not just about reducing channels. It's about mixing with precision and intent.
The majority of your audience will hear your work in stereo, so it’s crucial that the mix sounds great across all platforms. We have perfected the art of crafting compelling mixes utilizing only two channels to help make your project stand out; whether it's played on the big screen, a phone, or through a pair of headphones.
