SCENE 01 / AUDIO MIXING MASTERING
Audio Mixing & Mastering
Professional audio finishing that delivers perfect balance, clarity, and impact across all playback systems from cinema to streaming platforms.
Audio mixing and mastering are the final stages of audio post-production, where all sound elements are balanced, equalized, and refined into a polished, cohesive soundtrack. Mixing sets relative levels and spatial placement, while mastering ensures consistent quality and compliance with delivery format specifications.
We coordinate audio mixing and mastering with facilities and engineers equipped to deliver your project's soundtrack to broadcast, theatrical, or streaming platform standards. Our team manages session scheduling, asset delivery, and quality control to ensure your final mix meets both creative expectations and technical requirements.

Final mix and mastering across Lemon Studios, Estudios Churubusco, and Skywalker cross-border for every loudness spec
Here is how this works in practice. We set up audio mixing and mastering sessions through Mexico's tier-one rooms — Lemon Studios in Mexico City for top theatrical work (Cuarón's Roma sound mix, Iñárritu's Bardo), Estudios Churubusco for body-level-tier final mix, and boutique houses like Sensaciones Sónicas and New Art Dub for episodic and streaming pipelines. All facilities run Pro Tools Ultimate on Avid S6 consoles into Avid MTRX I/O. With iZotope RX 10 for restoration passes and Nuendo ready for game-audio crossover projects.
On the ground, Mastering for theatrical release targets DCI reference SPL with 24-bit/48 kHz Wave files conformed to SMPTE 428-2, while broadcast masters for Televisa San Ángel, TV Azteca Ajusco, Imagen TV, and Multimedios follow EBU R128 / ATSC A/85 loudness with embedded BWF metadata. Mexico City's neutral Spanish dubbing capital status means M&E (Music & Effects) tracks created alongside the final mix slot directly into the same studios — Audiomaster 3000, SDI Media Mexico, Iyuno, Dubbing House — for pan-LatAm versioning.
Here is the short of it. Sites-specific mastering specs are baked into our workflow from session one. Netflix LatAm needs -27 LKFS integrated with -2 dBTP true peak; Vix (TelevisaUnivision's Latin-focused SVOD headquartered in CDMX) follows similar streaming-sites loudness; Disney+ LatAm, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video LatAm, Star+, and Claro Video each have published delivery sheets we conform against. Theatrical masters for Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia (FICM, Mexico's flagship festival), FICG Guadalajara, Los Cabos Global Film Festival, and Riviera Maya Film Festival deliver as Doremi or Sony DCP-compatible packages with 5.1 / 7.1 / Atmos stems. Cross-border mix finishing with Skywalker Sound (Marin County), Margarita Mix (Glendale), and engineers like Skip Lievsay and Eugene Gearty — both Iñárritu collaborators on Babel and Birdman — runs on the same USMCA carnet pipeline that has shipped Mexican-finished mixes to global release for two decades.
