Most recently, Audionamix’s team of audio engineers were called upon to use ADX proprietary Stem Creation technology to provide legendary composer Hans Zimmer, artistic liberty while creating the soundscape for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Last year, Audionamix provided a similar service for Hans Zimmer in the box-office hit Inception. Our challenge from Mr. Zimmer in this feature film was to provide his production team the ability to re-position and manipulate not just one, but three operatic voices of an original stereo composite mix. This would enable the audio mixer to match the production perspective of the actors on screen. We also needed to provide enough separation of the voices to allow the audio mixer control of the volume of the individual voices within the fixed mix so that after the original recording was augmented, its voices could be raised or lowered in specific areas, thus allowing Mr. Zimmer to fully realize his creative vision during the Don Giovanni opera scene.

Audionamix prides itself on working closely with our clients’ production team in order to reach their individual creative objectives, and this film was no exception. Sherlock Holmes A Game of Shadows premiered on December 16th and is currently in theaters across the country.

Due to the phenomenal work Audionamix has done on West Side Story, we are proud to announce the completion of a documentary explaining how this wonderful project was orchestrated. With the help of MGM, the Bernstein Office, Chace Audio, a Deluxe Company and Fiat Lux, Audionamix has created a brand new documentary West Side Story: Reviving the Masterpiece, which will give viewers an in-depth look at how this musical masterpiece was recomposed to be performed by a live orchestra.

The five minute documentary details the challenge of removing the vocals from this musical masterpiece, while keeping all of the dialogue and effects intact. As reported earlier, the music was then replaced by a live orchestra and was performed in Los Angeles, New York, and most recently Chicago. Next year, the production takes place oversees with scheduled performances in London and Japan.

West Side Story was just the beginning; there are hundreds of classic films that could benefit from this type of service. Audionamix looks forward to using our services to bring other timeless classics back to life.

Earlier this month, Audionamix held its first Holiday Soiree celebrating the holiday season and thanking our clients and partners for the outstanding work done in 2011. The famous Hollywood Castle was selected as the venue for the affair and the ADX Team transformed the medieval ambiance into a festive, memorable setting. Dressed in santa hats, the Audionamix team and our clients mixed and mingled throughout the night. The occasion was one that will go down as one of the more enjoyable experiences in the company’s history.

Audionamix would like to wish everyone a joyous holiday season. This year Audionamix had the distinct honor of working with some of the biggest and best names in film, television and music. Our proprietary Music Dissociation technology was used to create a new way of experiencing the timeless, classic musical, West Side Story. Our Stem Creation technology assisted Hans Zimmer’s production team in unleashing their creativity in another feature film for the second year in a row. Our Dialogue Isolation technology made it possible for NBC/Universal to release the classic John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd film The Blues Brothers in 5.1 surround sound in several languages.

We have also been able to help major television studios such as CBS save hundreds of thousands of dollars when re-purposing their back catalog for digital distribution. As we continue to build upon existing relationships and increase our client base, Audionamix is poised to bring our innovative technology to all major networks and studios, domestically and internationally. In 2012, the sky is the limit for Audionamix and its valued partners and clients. We look forward to soaring with you.
