Tattersall Sound and Picture Dolby Atmos, Difuze and Audio Z Montreal francophone dub, with Mychael Danna and Howard Shore composer lineage
Here is how the work lines up. Post-production audio in Canada centres on three city ecosystems. In Toronto, Tattersall Sound and Picture anchors the Dolby Atmos and 7.1 mix-stage roster alongside Studio Post, Lakeside, Urban Post Production and the working dub theatres at the Pinewood Toronto Studios campus, with Lou Solakofski as the most-recognised re-recording mixer name and Mark Berger and Christopher Boyes adding the broader Oscar and Pacific Rim lineage on supervising sound editor credits.
In Montreal, MELS Post sits inside the Cité du cinéma vertical along with Difuze, Cinélume, Audiopostprod and Audio Z. This collectively handle the francophone dub and ADR pipeline for over 1,500 films per year across Quebec, France and broader Francophonie delivery. Vancouver carries Sharpe Sound, Cinescape Post and the Vancouver Film Studios in-house mix rooms for the heavy series volume from Disney+, Netflix, Amazon and Apple TV+.
The composer bench is anchored by Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings, Crimes of the Future) and Mychael Danna (Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire Oscar) plus Jeff Danna and the younger Owen Pallett generation, with score-record dates routinely booked at Glenn Gould Studio Toronto, the Toronto Centre for the Arts and Studio MMR Montreal.
The post pipeline runs ProTools HDX with Avid HD 192 and HD I/O converters at every senior mix stage, Dolby Atmos renderers in the certified rooms, and S6 control surfaces sized to the room. CRTC technical specs govern broadcast loudness at minus twenty-four LKFS BS.1770-4 for the linear feed and Netflix Canada office QC adds an additional layer of streaming-spec validation before delivery.
CMF (Canada Media Fund) and Telefilm Canada thresholds influence which projects qualify for federal funding, and the CAVCO (Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office) point system rewards Canadian post-audio crew — the supervising sound editor, re-recording mixer, sound designer and ADR mixer all sit inside the points-eligible list. This keeps home post work commercially preferred over US offshore alternatives on co-production paperwork. Difuze and Audio Z run double-language M&E preparation as standard. Our coordinators handle ADR loop-group bookings in English and Canadian French at once when the brief calls for both versions. CRTC bilingual broadcast needs, indigenous-language version coordination through APTN, and the Telefilm theatrical-mix specs round out the standard delivery sheet.
