Sound editing services
to fix post production problems
Can you save the scene-that-broke, when that jet plane flew over? [Yes] .
People ask us:
- Can the background noise be fixed?
- It’s recorded outdoors, can you make it fit an inside scene?
- Can you add the right atmospheric sounds?
- Can you fix the color grading for the video?
- Can you clean up a voice recording done on a cell phone?
Yes, but it depends on your specific clip… send it to us for a free assessment.

Onboarding hygiene: Removing Clicks and Pops, Cleaning, Cataloguing.
(Something that people appreciate later, “when there were no issues, and it ran so smoothly”)
Audio Restoration Service

Before & After Sound Design
We have approval to show you a before and after scene from "The Speed Of Time".
Before Mix
We had absolutely nothing to work with apart from some dialogue and music and everything else had to be re-created.
This was a short comedy film and a little cheesy but it’s a great example of how we can amplify a story.
We mixed it a few years back and ended up winning the Richard Beggs Best Sound Design Award at the Alameda International Film Festival.
(Richard Beggs won an Oscar for his sound work on “Apocalypse Now”,
so in all honesty, coming from him, this was extra special.)
After Mix
Brown Bird Sound Library
When you choose to work with us, we use our in-house-only sound library called Brown Bird.
It’s filled with custom sounds
- New sound effects – extra drama
- Exclusively used in our projects – preserves freshness
- We’re always adding to it
Subjecting an audience to tired sound is as cringeworthy as using the same laugh track.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
We desperately needed some sweetening
“Erich and his team saved the day for us on Let’s Make A Deal … we desperately needed some sweetening to add back the frenetic energy and excitement each of our 175 shows a year demand.
Mayer Sound did a phenomenal job helping us fulfill that need and did so QUICKLY. I can’t recommend this audio house enough for your post production needs.”
Nick Vuchnich – Post Production Supervisor for Let’s Make A Deal
