JD Mixing is my background and I have sometimes felt that sound plays as a second cousin to picture. A common theme I have noticed over the years is that directors or producers arrive into a mix suite having seen lovely pictures in the grade and online, would then see a QuickTime poorly projected in low res. Creatively they weren’t finalising their audio decisions because they were focusing on the picture and questioning the version of picture or quality of the grade.
HYBRID INTEROPERABLE FINISHING SUITES JD The vision was to build two Atmos rooms side-by-side with the same fabric and the same furniture with the same speakers, a full Dolby RMU specification and with 4K laser projection so the picture is excellent in both rooms
Atmos Sound Stage 1
and where one is a full grading suite. We have built these from scratch in our old high-ceilinged administration area and fully floated in concrete. TW Theatre 1 is a grade room
“HHB ARE VITAL IN OUR ENDEAVOUR TO BE THE BEST”
with Baselight with Avid S1 and S3 consoles, and Sound Stage 1 is a full audio mixing room with the Avid S6 32 Fader M40 console both running with Pro Tools. They can run as single finishing rooms working on different projects, but ideally you could be running them at the same time for the same project. In the grade room you have eight faders and access to the
final mix session, so you can make full tweaks to the audio. JD While in Sound Stage 1, you
would be creating the main mix, but you would have access to the pictures from the other room as the grade developed. As the re-recording mix develops the same would be true with the main mix available in the grading room. And with talkback between the two rooms, the creative director or series producer could be running the session from one room
