Audio Mixing & Mastering

Here is how this works in practice. Audio mixing and mastering for productions finishing in Hungary runs through Mafilm Audio Budapest. The heritage Hungarian sound and music studio whose mix credits trace back to the Pannonia era. Alongside Pannonia Post Budapest, Audio Plus Budapest, KEK Studios, Mastering Voice Budapest, and the in-house rooms at Origo Post and Stern Post. We match session bookings against project scope.

Here is the short of it. Feature films and high-end episodic drama flow through Mafilm Audio's larger calibrated rooms, broadcast series and commercial work split between Pannonia Post and Audio Plus, and mastering passes route to Mastering Voice for the final polish. Re-recording mixer and mastering engineer pool includes Tamás Zányi (Son of Saul, Sunset — László Nemes regular and Best Sound Editing Oscar nominee), Péter Benjamin Lukács (Pieces of a Woman), and Tamás Bohács. Composer joint work is direct on scoring-driven jobs, with Bence Vajda, Marcell Bajnai, Zsuzsanna Dombi.

Here is the breakdown. Plus the Ferenc Glaser lineage (Mephisto composer with Lajos Pécsi) handling first score delivery. Asset organisation, premix conform, and DAW prep are managed from start to finish so the mix day starts on stems, not session troubleshooting.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Mix engineers work on ProTools HDX with Pyramix mastering chains, monitoring through Sony reference systems calibrated to ITU-R BS.1770. Final masters ship to NMHH (Hungarian Radio and Television Authority) broadcast specs for MTVA, RTL Klub. Plus TV2 dayparts, EBU R128 for European co-production deliveries, ATSC A/85 where North American syndication is needed. Plus sites-specific loudness targets including Netflix Hungary office QC (-27 LKFS), HBO Max Hungary, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Pluto TV regional QC.

Here is how the picture comes together. Stem packages cover dialogue, music, and effects with frame-accurate M&E tracks ready for bilingual English/Hungarian and English/German versioning through the Pannonia Hangstúdió, Mafilm Audio, and Magyar Hangstúdió dubbing supply chain. DCP-O-Matic and EasyDCP pipelines handle theatrical packaging for Cinema City Hungary, Toldi Mozi, Müpa Hungarian Cinema, and Cinemarc, alongside TIFF, Berlinale, and Cannes festival DCPs. ARTISJUS music cue-sheet registration, EJI performers' rights filings, MAHASZ mechanical rights logs, QC reports, loudness logs. Plus unprocessed reference exports are set up and delivered alongside every master before release.
