Audio Mixing & Mastering

Audio mixing and mastering for projects finished in South Korea is anchored in Seoul's certified dub stages. Live Tone Studio, CJ Powercast, and Mofac Studios run the rooms most global shoots reach for. They handle theatrical-grade finishing inside the country. Sound Tribe Korea, Tigertail Sound, and Sonokine cover broadcast, streaming, and commercial work at the same calibrated quality.

Our team handles premix review, stage booking, asset turnover, and quality control. The final mix engineer then arrives with the dialogue, music, and effects premixes built and ready to balance. Mix sessions run in Pro Tools HDX with the full plugin suite. Tracking is calibrated to ITU specs. The lead engineer works surround, stereo, and mono passes before any deliverable leaves the building. Client reviews can run live on the stage or remotely by secure streaming for global producers.

Mastering hits each major spec the industry asks for. We deliver to EBU R128 for European broadcast and ATSC A/85 for US television. We also master to the Korean ATSC 3.0 standard for KBS, MBC, SBS, and JTBC. Our team meets the site-specific loudness targets for Netflix (-27 LKFS), Amazon, Apple TV+, and Disney+. Theatrical DCP audio packages run with the surround mix when a film is heading for festival or commercial release.

Full stem packages cover dialogue, music, and effects. We split them out as deliverables and as complete M&E for global dubbing. Each one ships with frame-accurate cue sheets ready for clearance and royalty sign-ups. Productions using the KOFIC rebate can finish the whole audio process in-country. Our team keeps the rebate-eligible cost records through the mix and master stages, so the financial gain is held alongside the creative result.

The mix rooms run a consistent pipeline so a project moves between stages without rework. Premixes built in a dialogue or effects suite drop straight into the final mix session on a calibrated console. The room layout keeps surround, stereo, and Atmos monitoring on the same speaker set, which lets the engineer audition every format from one seat. This shared setup across Seoul's main stages means a session can move room to room when the schedule is tight, with no loss of reference.

Quality control closes out every job before the master leaves the building. We measure integrated and true-peak loudness against the exact target for the release route. The team checks each downmix in full, confirms the M&E carries no stray dialogue, and runs the deliverable through a conform pass on the spec the platform names. A delivery report and checksum ship with the files. The session and a flat reference are archived in-country, so a later dub or re-version reopens cleanly.
