Soho postproduction house LipSync Post has completed an overhaul and upgrade to accommodate Dolby Atmos projects. LipSync teamed up with HHB Communications to create a hybrid Avid S6 and AMS Neve DFC-3D desk.
Scrub and HHB were on hand to support the install and upgrade, with CTO John Johnson on hand to assist: ‘Our partnership with LipSync has been celebrated over the years, and it continues through major projects such as this. LipSync has combined the best of both worlds with this brand-new upgrade, which showcases how we listen to our clients’ unique requirements and support them from concept, to install and beyond.’
The set-up gives full access to the Neve DFC sound and brings hands-on control of Avid Pro Tools automation via the S6 desks. In order to streamline workflow as more projects are mixed exclusively in-the-box, LipSync installed the S6s in the same frame as the DFC, with custom furniture created by Frozen Fish Design. This dual-operator configuration frees the mix engineers to work on separate Pro Tools systems simultaneously for fast and efficient turnaround in order to meet project deadlines.
‘We have now completed our first feature mix in the refitted theatre,’ Rob Hughes, Senior Re-Recording Mixer for LipSync, reports. ‘It has a very detailed, involved soundtrack – the new system handled it with ease.
‘We have relied on Scrub for several major projects at LipSync – unrivalled technical knowledge, combined with excellent service and post-install support has made Scrub our first choice, from planning to install.’
