Audio Mixing & Mastering
Professional audio finishing that delivers perfect balance, clarity, and impact across all playback systems from cinema to streaming platforms.

Final mix and mastering at Tecnison Madrid, Sonoblok, Mediapro Post Barcelona, and Microfusa with Pelayo Gutiérrez and the Almodóvar-era mixer bench
Here is how this works in practice. Final mix and mastering for productions finishing in Spain operates through the country's deep theatrical-mix bench. Tecnison Madrid (the heritage Dolby Atmos certified stage that anchors the Almodóvar El Deseo theatrical pipeline and the bulk of Spanish-language prestige theatrical). Sonoblok Madrid (sound and music finishing). Mediapro Post Barcelona (fully certified Atmos theatrical stage with Dolby Vision-compatible picture review), Microfusa Barcelona (music-led mix). Cámara Móvil Audio Division Madrid, Audio Plus. Sound Spain Madrid, and Boombal Barcelona.
Here is the short of it. Re-recording mixer talent draws on Pelayo Gutiérrez (Almodóvar regular, multiple Goya nominations including for Pain and Glory and Volver), James Muñoz. Iván Marin (Pacifiction with Albert Serra). And the dialogue/music/effects engineers trained through the heritage Spanish dubbing industry. Which supplies 1,500+ feature-length localizations per year to the Latin American and European markets. We book session time across these rooms matching project budget, mixer openings, and theatrical-stage calendar so sessions arrive on the Atmos stage clean, ordered. And ready to mix from day one.
Mix engineers work to ITU-R BS.1770 monitoring with calibrated 5.1, 7.1, and 7.1.4 immersive beds. Delivering Dolby Atmos object-based masters alongside 5.1 / 7.1 channel-based.
