Let's get to know each other

Experience

We have been working in the field of sound for film and television for several decades. Nothing about sound is alien to us – except maybe poor quality… If you have worked with us, please let us know what you think.

Quality

Quality is our top priority. You could say that it’s our speciality.

We specialise in taking care of quality, legibility of words and narration, as well as the artistic vison of the projects we produce. We have a broad experience projects and have tackled the unusual in every respect, whether in terms of production or indeed the creative process.

Sound Domain was founded in 2016. It is the daughter company of Strefa Dźwięku (The Sound Zone), founded in 2006 by Michał Żarnecki and co-managed by Joanna Napieralska the current director of Sound Domain. Between 2006 and 2016, Strefa Dźwięku created over 20 soundtracks for feature films and documentaries, as well as over a dozen sound reconstructions of renown Polish feature films. Since 2017, Sound Domain has continued to work on original soundtracks for feature films and documentaries, as well as sound reconstruction under a national scheme: The Digital Poland Programme.

Sound Postproduction Studio in Warsaw

Sound postproduction

Sound postproduction for film includes discussing the sound concept, editing and cleaning the sound from the set, recording and editing synchronous effects (Folei), recording, editing sound atmospheres and effects in the frame and off-screen, sound design, music editing and pre-mixing all layers. We then do a preliminary mix and review in the mixing room to see how well the sound helps achieve the intended goals. After corrections, the mix is done in a standardized room. We work with WFDiF and UMFC. We place particular emphasis on the intelligibility of dialogue.

Location Sound

We record sound on set using high-quality Sounddevices (formerly Audio LTD) digital microphones. To achieve the best dialogue quality, we arrange the shooting locations to ensure a relatively good separation between dialogue and background noise. During recording, we check the clarity of the lines in each take. For direct set recordings, we use reverberation microphones that capture the acoustic features of a location. For ambience recordings and special effects, we use ambisonic microphones.

Why Us

Committed to every project, we stick completely to deadlines and budgets. Although the company has a small base (2 permanent postproduction suites and one portable), it has a great potential in the form of a network of remote co-workers, working on independent workstations. We can work on 4-5 workstations simultaneously.

The project entrusted to us remains in good hands.
