Animation
Post Production Audio

Editing and cleaning up on-set recorded audio, designing sound effects and ambiences, recording Foley, recording ADR and mixing all elements (Dialogue, Music and Effects) to create the final Mix.

Post audio is divided into 2 stages: editing and mixing. During the editing process sounds are created, recorded, edited and refined. After all sounds have been created, the mixing process starts which takes on the task of bringing all the elements of the soundtrack together and define volume levels, add effects to blend the elements within the environment and balance the overall soundtrack of the project.  To learn about music in post production, please see the The Journey in Animation, VFX and Post Production.
