Issues with Film Audio

Various issues arise in audio production for both amateurs and for professionals. In fact, post production sound services mostly focus on fixing audio issues, and many of these are present in even the most professional grade video production projects.

Common audio issues that can absolutely destroy the value of a film’s sound quality include:

• Dialog not properly recorded.
• Environmental noises such as crowds, planes, or trains.
• Poor dialog capture due to poorly placed microphones.
  Commonly, on set, you’ll hear someone say, “We’ll fix it in post!” Usually this is said as they rush the camera crew on to the next scene in an effort to keep shoot day on schedule. Unfortunately, fixing sound in post isn’t always nearly as “easy” as the production crew makes it seem!

Post Production Sound Services to Fix Audio

Many of the audio issues that arise in production can be manipulated and improved with post production sound services. A great post production sound mixer will often spend time on set to ensure they can appropriately capture the audio they know they’ll need later on so that they can save themselves some time and headache during post production.

Post production sound services may include:

• Eliminating airplane noise from a track.
• Removing lavalier mic “brushing” sounds (the sound that comes as a result of the actor’s shirt or other clothing brushing against the mic).
• Setting dialog so that it aligns appropriately with footage.
• Balancing the audio so that there are no high or low points.
• Adjusting SFX audio so that it aligns with video footage and is time properly.
