Audio Mixing & Mastering

Here is how this works in practice. We deliver audio mixing and mastering for shoots finishing in Croatia, taking edited dialogue, music, and effects stems through to balanced, broadcast-ready masters. Our team books calibrated mix rooms in Zagreb and manages the workflow from premix through final mix and mastering, balancing levels, applying equalisation and dynamics, and seating dialogue clearly against music and effects. We master to the loudness and peak specs of each destination — EBU R128 for HRT, Nova TV.

Here is the short of it. RTL Croatia. Other EBU-member TV networks, theatrical reference for cinema release, and sites-specific targets for streaming. Deliverables have stereo and surround masters, M&E tracks for global versioning, printmaster stems, and the QC records distributors need. We set up review sessions so directors and producers approve the mix before it locks. We handle fold-down and translation checks so the master holds up across cinema, broadcast, mobile, and streaming playback. Croatian and English versioning is supported, with subtitling standard for the local market.

Here is the breakdown. Croatia's mixing and mastering capacity sits on a sector that grown with global service shoots. The finishing infrastructure built through high-profile shoots — 'Game of Thrones' across Dubrovnik and Split, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' and 'Robin Hood' in Dubrovnik, 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' on Vis — widened the country's edit and sound skill, while HRT. The public TV networks founded on a long radio and television custom, sustains steady mastering work for domestic programming.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. EBU membership means Croatian masters follow EBU R128 loudness and EBU tech specs, keeping them compatible with European and global delivery. The country's musical depth, from Zagreb's orchestras to UNESCO-recognised klapa singing, gives mastering engineers rich tonal source material. We advise on the 25 percent 'Filming in Croatia' rebates administered by HAVC. This can apply to qualifying post-prod spend. Make sure each master meets its sites's tech specs before delivery.
