Premiere Online 5.1 Upmixing Service

Transform Your Film’s Audio with 5.1 Upmixing for DCP & Cinematic Experiences

5.1_surround_sound_metersElevate your film and audio-visual projects to cinematic standards with our affordable 5.1 upmixing service. Perfect for DCP (Digital Cinema Package) creation, film festivals, theatrical releases, private screenings, broadcast, high-quality streaming, and events requiring strict sound specifications. We expertly convert your finalized stereo mixed stems into immersive 5.1 surround sound, ensuring your audience experiences your film as intended.

The upmix will translate exceptionally well when experienced in a professional theater setting. Our meticulous attention to detail during the 5.1 upmix process delivers a polished, theater-ready performance designed to powerfully resonate with audiences.

What is Upmixing?

Upmixing is a process of taking stereo audio stems and turning them into a greater number of audio channels using signal processing techniques. This process transforms 2-channel stems into 5.1 channels for surround sound applications. Examples of audio stems for film are dialogue, SFX, Foley, ambiance, and music.

Why Choose 5.1 Surround Sound?

cinema-theater-insideWhen submitting your film to be released through OTT streaming platforms and home entertainment surround setups, it requires a minimum of a 5.1 and 2.0 (stereo) mix. Not anticipating these audio mix formats can prolong the film’s release and showcase.

Film festivals typically require a DCP with a 5.1 mix to ensure the highest audio quality for screening your film.

Key Takeaways:

  • Industry Standard: 5.1 surround sound is the industry standard for theatrical screenings and many streaming platforms. We deliver the 5.1 audio assets to DCP requirements.
  • Immersive Experience: Create a truly immersive cinematic experience for your audience with enhanced spatial audio that draws them deeper into the story.
  • Enhanced Impact: 5.1 surround sound significantly elevates the emotional impact and overall quality of your film.
  • Increased Visibility: Meeting industry standards increases your film’s visibility and acceptance at film festivals and with distributors.

Our Commitment:

  • Preservation of Your Vision: We meticulously adhere to your original stereo mix, ensuring its integrity and artistic vision are maintained throughout the upmixing process.
  • Theater-Ready Sound: Our experienced engineers deliver a polished, theater-ready 5.1 mix that translates seamlessly to any professional screening environment.
  • Exceptional Quality: We prioritize meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a powerful and impactful surround sound experience that resonates with your audience.

Q: Do you offer customer financing for installment payments?
A: Yes, TravSonic offers financing through Afterpay. Just pay your first installment upon your purchase of $500 or more ($2000 limit per project). You now have the leisure of starting your project today and paying overtime. Learn More

Q: What films and audio/visual projects have we worked on?
A: TravSonic has worked on top motion pictures, indie films, and TV syndications for audio production which totals to over 400 successful high-profile spots.

Q: When I select a quote, do I have to purchase?
A: No, the quote process is to get an approved estimate. We believe in first giving a free evaluation of your project. Once we feel confident that the project can be fulfilled and you approve the estimate, a payment is required.

Q: What is counted as a revision?
A: Revisions are changes to audio requested by the client during the entire project period. Often referred to as an ‘edit’, a revision typically takes the form of multiple edits done in one sitting. For example, one revision could consist of many edit changes and not just one edit per revision. Many projects take about 4 to 5 full revisions.

Q: How do I pay once I approved an estimate?
A: We will send you an invoice via email to make a secure payment online. If you wish to make a different payment method, it can be arranged.

Q: For how long are quotes valid?
A: Quotes are valid for 30 days from the issue date. This is a no-obligation quote and does not enter you into a contract or payment.

Q: After I have submitted my online project quote, what’s next?
A: Upon placing your quote, a TravSonic representative will contact you to discuss your potential project and customize your package further.

Q: I made an edit to my project after submitting it. Can I submit my files again?
A: Yes, this would count towards your complimentary revisions.

Q: When does my project start for the turnaround time?
A: Your project date starts once you have approved your quote, a payment been made and all the project files have been received.

Q: Can you mix my project for different formats?
A: Yes, we can tailor your project to any sound spec needed for final delivery.

Q: Why are quote options available and not purchases on this website?
A: We believe in evaluating your project to get to know your needs and vision first. Since every project is different, we want to make sure you get exactly what is needed and you feel comfortable. This also ensures the best quality service to our customers.

Q: Can I have my files mailed to me?
A: Yes, we can mail your files on a portable hard drive, flash drive, or other media. This would be an extra fee.

Q: My film has some changes that will modify the duration and sequence. Will this affect my project?

A: It is required that your film is at the final stage and a locked version is submitted for mixing. Once a film is locked, no duration can change along with the sequence. However, footage can be substituted as long as the duration does not change and it does not affect the audio content during the editing and mixing stage.

Result: If the film duration and footage is changed mid project, it may incur an addition fee to resync the audio.

Q: What file format is best to send the audio files for mixing?

Depending on the software used to edit the film, we recommend sending your finished film in AAF or OMF audio format.

    Film Mixing
    What you’re able to provide for indie filmmakers in the service of affordable post-sound audio is truly incredible. Cause sound is usually the one thing that microbudget films always fail on due to it being so expensive.
