SCENE 01 / AUDIO MIXING MASTERING
Audio Mixing & Mastering
Professional audio finishing that delivers perfect balance, clarity, and impact across all playback systems from cinema to streaming platforms.
Here is how this works in practice. Audio mixing and mastering are the final stages of audio post-prod, where all sound elements are balanced, equalized, and refined into a polished, cohesive soundtrack. Mixing sets relative levels and spatial placement, while mastering makes sure steady quality and compliance with delivery format specs.
Here is the short of it. We set up audio mixing and mastering with facilities and engineers equipped to deliver your project's soundtrack to broadcast, theatrical, or streaming sites standards. Our team manages session scheduling, asset delivery, and quality control to make sure your final mix meets both creative expectations and tech needs.

Final Mix and Mastering for Japan-Originated Content
Our mix and mastering stages in Tokyo and Osaka run tuned tracking for stereo, 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos. Overflow rooms route through Imagica, Sony PCL, NEP, and Q-Tec when a feature or tight series needs extra space.
Here is how this works in practice. Engineers premix dialogue, music, and effects on their own. They then unify them on the main stage with frame-true session shape, clean dynamics, and EQ that honours the source rather than masking it. We deliver against NHK 4K/8K broadcast spec, ATSC A/85 for North American carriage, EBU R128 for European delivery, and platform targets like Netflix Japan (-27 LKFS), Amazon, and Apple TV+.
Here is the short of it. Each job closes with full M&E stems, dialogue stems, and effects stems for global versioning. The print master ships in each format your release chain needs.
Here is the breakdown. Cue sheets are logged to frame. Loudness reports go out alongside masters. A final pass on consumer reference rigs in Yokohama checks that the mix carries to soundbars and earbuds as well as it played in the theatre. You walk away with files that pass first-time QC on each platform you ship to.
