About Folu

  • Share profile:
    I am a Protools Dubbing Mixer with 12 years experience in Sound, 6 years actual mixing experience in Audio Post Production. 

    I trained in music recording and production. Soon after my training I went to work in several multitasking Post Production and Production environments. I have worked as; an Audio Assitant, recording live music, a Sound Recordist, a Studio Sound Gallery Operator for small studios and a Dubbiing Editor and Mixer. Over the years I have used Protools (Procontrol, C24, D-command, Icon), Sadie Artemis and Fairlight Audio Workstations in mixing, (and sound designing), for pictures in Audio Post.

    Clients have included; The BBC, Channel 4, Endemol, Summer Films, Discovery, Dai4 Films, Steadfast TV, Jetix, Talkback Thames, BT Vision, Leopard Films, Guardian Films, Tiger Aspect, Uproar Productions, The Learning Channel, Doghouse Films, Sunset & Vine & Optomen TV.

    As a staff Dubbing Mixer I have a lot to offer any Post Facility as I have an intuitve nature for Audio Post work. Professionalism, creativity and an easy going manner are qualities I bring to my working environment. I have the familiarity of various Postproduction Studios as a Freelancer, and the advantage of owning a comprehensive Protools setup along with various Sound Design Tools at home.

    Finally living centrally in London gives me the added flexibile to respond quickly to sudden work demands in Soho.
