The Dub Stage reveals Barco Auro 11.1 sound mixing secrets in

As the first sound production studio in Hollywood to use Barco’s 3D cinema sound format to mix a feature-length film, the Dub Stage is the talk of Tinseltown these days. Marti Humphrey, President and Re-Recording Mixer at The Dub Stage, and Associate Chris Jacobson, discuss how they enlivened DreamWorks Animation’s “Rise of the Guardians” with three layers of sound to create an awe-inspiring cinema experience. See the video highlights of this interview by clicking “Read more” below.

The two worked hand-in-hand to enhance the dialog, music, special effects, foley and additional aural elements provided in the original 7.1 mix provided by the studio. Pulling out sounds and “flying” them through various channels overhead and around the room – like character Pitch’s voice and a thunderstorm – heightened the realism of the movie.

“DreamWorks is very future-oriented,” comments Humphrey. “They looked for something unique, but that also fit in with budgetary and technical ways of doing things that was both creative and rock solid reliable. It could also be adapted easily to give you a large palette for mixing sound.”

Testimonials

Blue Valley Baptist Church is pleased to have an ongoing relationship with Advanced Sound and Communications. We have engaged in projects with them ranging from simple equipment rentals for special events to large-scale design and installations on two of our campuses. Their strengths are many, but near the top of the list is an ability to think creatively to address not only current needs, but also the long-term functionality of the system in your venue for years to come. Our experiences with them in regard to customer service have all been favorable from telephone reception to installers to follow up. They have our confidence and trust.

John Hollan, Blue Valley Baptist Church

ASC is one of the best integrators we have worked with at Builders For Christ. The installation was very clean. Great attention was paid to the smallest detail. It's rare for an integrator to take such ownership of a project.
