Technical Disciplines

Specialized Post-Production for Spoken Dialogue & Visual Interviews

Every recording environment presents distinct acoustic challenges. Whether your session was tracked on studio condenser microphones, lavaliers on a trade show floor, or remote digital feeds like Riverside and Zoom, each stem undergoes dedicated calibration.

SPOKEN-WORD AUDIO

Multi-Track Dialogue Editing & Phase Alignment

Precise vocal leveling between hosts and interviewees, cross-talk cancellation between adjacent open microphones, elimination of mouth clicks, and removal of intrusive stumbles while preserving natural conversational cadence.

SPECTRAL REPAIR

Acoustic De-Noising & Room Echo Suppression

Surgical spectral reduction of air conditioner hum, laptop fan noise, electrical ground loop buzz, and reverberant room reflections using dedicated restoration algorithms calibrated specifically for human voice frequencies.

VISUAL INTEGRATION

Synchronized Video Podcast & Multi-Camera Cutting

Frame-accurate alignment of studio camera feeds, remote webcam captures, and guest ISO feeds synchronized with the restored audio master. Smooth multi-angle transitions and lower-third graphic placement ready for YouTube and Spotify.

DISTRIBUTION MASTERY

Platform Specification & LUFS Compliance

Mastering to strict international loudness standards: -16 LUFS stereo for Apple Podcasts and Spotify, -14 LUFS for YouTube, with True Peak limiting at -1.0 dBTP to eliminate lossy codec inter-sample distortion.

Structured Pipeline

From Raw Recording Stems to Verified Master Assets

A transparent four-stage production workflow designed for frictionless remote collaboration across international borders and varying creator schedules.

01

Intake & Channel Ingestion

You upload your individual WAV/AIFF stems, camera ISO footage, and editorial brief to our private cloud repository. Track counts and clock sync are immediately verified.

02

Surgical Spectral Restoration

Individual voice tracks are isolated to neutralize ambient noise, electrical hum, room resonance, and microphone plosives without introducing phase artifacts or unnatural digital muffling.

03

Dynamic Shaping & Narrative Polish

Vocal channels receive transparent multi-band compression, dynamic EQ, and gain automation. Editorial trims remove filler words, false starts, and unnatural pauses as requested.

04

Final True-Peak Metering & Delivery

Master files are encoded, tagged with metadata, chapter markers, and checked against broadcast compliance meters. Delivered in 24-bit WAV, 320kbps MP3, and 4K MP4 formats.

Studio Philosophy

Direct Engineer Accountability. No Automated Gimmicks.

I am Herman Tangen, an independent audio engineer based in Oslo, Norway. I operate a focused post-production practice dedicated exclusively to the clarity, dynamics, and storytelling impact of spoken-word audio and interview video.

Many large content platforms rely on automated, aggressive AI filters that leave human voices sounding hollow, watery, and robotic. In my studio, every episode is audited, sculpted, and balanced by a human ear using industry-standard tools including iZotope RX Advanced, FabFilter mastering suites, and professional DAWs.

Operating remotely from Oslo, I work directly with clients across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Malaysia. Clients communicate directly with me—the engineer shaping their tracks—ensuring rapid feedback cycles, precise revision execution, and consistent episode quality.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Concrete explanations regarding technical file handoff, audio salvage capabilities, and remote project delivery.

How do we transfer large multi-track audio and 4K camera footage?
We utilize encrypted cloud storage repositories (Dropbox Business and secure Google Drive). Upon initiating a project, you receive a private upload link with no upload size limits. You simply drop your raw WAV/AIFF stems and camera video files into the folder.
Can you salvage recordings made in echoey rooms or on cheap wireless microphones?
Yes. Using advanced multi-stage de-reverberation and spectral repair, we can suppress heavy room reflections, HVAC rumble, and wireless RF static. In our free initial assessment, we provide an honest appraisal of what can be restored to broadcast standards versus physical limitations.
What is your guaranteed turnaround time for an episode?
Standard turnaround for a single episode of up to 60 minutes raw audio is 48 business hours from receipt of verified stems. Retainer clients receive an expedited 36-hour delivery window to maintain tight publication schedules.
What loudness targets do you master for?
We deliver to international industry targets: -16.0 LUFS integrated for stereo podcast episodes (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts), -19.0 LUFS for mono distribution, and -14.0 LUFS for video interviews destined for YouTube. All masters maintain a True Peak ceiling of -1.0 dBTP.
How does cross-border communication work between Malaysia and Oslo?
Post-production is naturally suited for asynchronous remote workflows. With standard operating hours between 08:00 and 17:00 UTC (16:00 to 01:00 MYT), our studio day directly overlaps with Malaysian afternoon and evening hours. File reviews and technical notes are handled cleanly via timestamped notes or scheduled video consultations.
What is included in the two revision rounds?
Revisions include editorial adjustments (removing or re-inserting specific conversational sentences), volume re-balancing of specific speakers, and pacing adjustments. Revisions requested within 14 days of file delivery are processed within 24 hours.
