Audio post-production and corrections on location

As with images, solving problems with audio recorded on location can also be a huge time and money saver. With more live sound productions ADR becomes necessary. Talent can sometimes have difficulty attending sessions booked months later in dubbing studios; whereas making any corrections, with quality control and ADR immediately on or near set offers a great advantage to production, with actors and actresses still there and available to re-dub the performances that are also still fresh in their minds. This is one of the many services that Alberto offers when in conjunction optionally with the Mobile Digital Lab.

He also offers the Audio Align Post Service which corrects the delay and comb-filter phase issues that occur when recording multiple moving microphones, such as in the case of a shoot set-up using a boom microphone in addition to actor’s and actress’s lavalier microphones or multiple on-set microphones.

The alignment and correction of the defects, if operated on set, saves hours and hours of tedious, time-consuming tasks in post audio facilities that often require several ear-twisting days to complete.

Additional services Alberto offers in loco with the mobile digital lab are:

Consultancy in Live Recording
Audio Editing
Mixing (up to Dolby 7.1 and Dolby Atmos HE)
Dialogue Audio Editing
Sound Design

Alberto also offers Quality Control of all the audio and the metadata recorded on location; Cleaning and Restoring of all the audio files including:

Spectral De Noising,
De Clicking
De Hum
De Reverb
De Plosive
De Rustle
De Wind

Alberto uses Protools Ultimate and Resolve’s Fairlight with all the specific software that is normally used during post-production in facilities. He is also fully operative on Da Vinci Resolve and can collaborate usefully with the editor and colourist.

Alberto's portable system for Sound Design etc. With a back pack and a small flight case Alberto takes this system to the set and works in tandem with the main Mac Pro and Resolve. Audio is worked on very quickly without slowing down editing and grading on the Mac Pro.

Beyond the audio acquisition and sound design opportunities, Alberto also owns and runs a state of the art sound post-production facility with Dolby ATMOS HE mixing capabilities. The facility and his services are available optionally and separately on line or as a fixed facility to make the final mix for deliverables, if desired.
