Engineering & 3D Printing

Custom mounting solutions and sound-specific 3D-printed accessories: my own designs, optimised for my workflow on set.

Sound post-production

From set to final mix

I don't just record your production's sound — I finish it. Dialogue editing, sound design and mixing up to 5.1 surround in my own room with Genelec monitoring. The same ears that were on set know every take and every decision — no loose ends between the shoot and delivery.

01

Dialogue editing & cleanup

Restoration, noise control and fine editing until only the performance is left. I work straight from the ISO tracks and room tone recorded on the shoot itself.

02

Sound design & ambiences

Effects, textures and atmospheres built scene by scene, drawing on my own location-recorded library.

03

5.1 & stereo mixing

Final mix on Genelec monitoring, balanced to translate the same way in a cinema, on a TV or through headphones.

04

Delivery & loudness

Mastered to broadcast and cinema standards (EBU R128), with stems and an M&E track ready for international distribution.

05

Podcast, documentary & series

Long-form mixing: drama and documentary for television and streaming platforms, and podcast delivered at the levels Spotify, Apple and YouTube ask for.

06

ADR & Foley

Dialogue replacement (ADR) when the original take cannot be saved, and Foley — footsteps, cloth, object handling — to give the scene its physical body back.

🔊

The room

A dedicated, acoustically treated mix room: Pro Tools, Genelec monitoring and subwoofer, for stereo and 5.1 surround work. A room is not there to make everything sound good — it is there to make it sound like what it is.

Global Location Sound

Filming Without Borders

From Ny-Ålesund (78°N) to Cape Horn (56°S): location sound anywhere on the planet. Spin the globe and explore the expeditions.

About the Lab

I build these apps in my spare time, between shoots, for the sound community — and they are free. If one saves your day on set and you want to help me keep making them, any contribution keeps the Lab running. Thank you!

QUIET ON SET! — Red Viking vs. Set Chaos

Survive the chaos of the set by keeping the dB meter in the safe zone.

Move with arrows or D-pad. A (or SPACE) = shush the noise next to you. B = viking shout that drops the dB fast (has a cooldown).
