Dolby, Oscars and out post sound

Dolby Labs have just announced that all of the films nominated for an Oscar in the Achievement in Sound Editing and Achievement in Sound Mixing categories used at least one Dolby technology in the process. This is the 32nd year in which films released with Dolby technology have earned an Oscar nomination. The technologies include Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Surround EX as formats for the audio release. The films include Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Star Trek, Up and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It is gratifying to know that out post sound utilises both Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II systems, although we have yet to be nominated for an Oscar there is always the possibility! out post uses Neyrink SurroundCode for Dolby Digital within Pro Tools, Compressor from Apple for projects outside Pro Tools and Dolby Surround Tools plugin for Dolby Pro Logic projects. We also work with partner studios in Soho to provide Dolby certified mixes for cinematic release. We better start saving for some suits!

out post sound has reached the ripe old age of two! In our brief history we have ridden with kings on mighty steeds across the devil's plain, we've walked with Jesus and his cross - He did not die in vain - No! We've run with wolves, we've climbed K2, even stopped a moving train, we've traveled through space and time my friends to rock this house again�� No, hang on that 's Tenacious D! However, we have gone from strength to strength, and worked with some amazing clients and are excited that the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 has many great projects in the pipeline. So, for now, we are off to have a party and we will be back and ready for more audio loveliness tomorrow...
