🎄Some festive cheer to get you in the mood...

'A Warwick Castle Christmas' is going out at 19.00 this Sunday 7th December on ITV1.

Raspberry South was responsible for the audio post production on this show - Sam Wansborough as Dubbing Mixer, supported by our experienced team.

With thanks to Bowled Over Media for having us on board for this fun-packed documentary voiced by Mel Giedroyc, looking behind the scenes at Warwick Castle over the festive season.

Great to see 'Narrow Escapes' is now out on Channel 4.

This is a big project I worked on as Dubbing Mixer last Autumn for the wonderfully talented Heidi and Alan Gomes at Bowled Over Media.

The new 20 part series follows many interesting characters and their stories about life on the canals, with a number of features on aspects of the waterway's infrastructure both historical and present. For example, the Anderton Boat Lift (which lifts boats 50ft from the river Weaver to the Trent & Mersey Canal) and also the stunning (and difficult to pronounce!) Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Both are quite major feats of engineering.

Not surprisingly, it also includes a great deal of beautiful scenery around the UK canal network though of course there is occasional wet weather too!

Tune in weekdays at 4p.m. or catch up on it here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/narrow-escapes

Well, what an epic show to end the final series (20) of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, a show I have now been involved with as a Dubbing Mixer for over 10 years; we will miss it and all the amazing community of talented people who made the most amazing things happen live on air over the years.

Alongside me in audio post this year has been Steve Watt (another SNT veteran Dubbing Mixer!) and Mark Hennessy - big thanks to them both...it's been a great team to work with.

This year, as in the last few years, we have deployed a mobile dubbing suite into a spare edit room at TVC allowing us to have two dubs in-house (the other being Studiowork's own). This comprised an iMac Mini running Pro Tools Ultimate, Avid 2xS1's + dock & iPad, RME UFX hardware, Focal SM9 monitors, a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Monitor 3G and 48" Panasonic premium flatscreen TV. The suite is also networked into Studiowork's Post.

Turnaround on this show is incredibly fast - we would often be mixing a 10-15 minute undercover VT on the Saturday afternoon. Speed, accuracy and reliability of kit are vital. Audio restoration is also really important due to the number of VT's which involve undercover and setup scenarios with maybe a few radio mics and many hidden mics. We were already using iZotope's RX10 Advanced extensively, but have also delved into some powerful AI plugins this year with amazing results.

Thanks for your time if you've read this far down! Do get in touch if you are looking for an Audio Dub on your next project. 🙂

Great to be back on Saturday Night Takeaway again this year. A move to working onsite has involved Raspberry South deploying a high end dubbing suite to Television Centre. Tech specs - Pro Tools HD with Avid S3 console, Focal SM9 monitors and Panasonic 55" Pro OLED Panel.
We have also provided a tracklay system based on the Avid S1. All systems have been integrated into BBC Studioworks network which allows for a fast turnaround workflow.

A first for us - the Japan Matsuri festival, which normally takes place in central london is being live streamed from the Raspberry South studios in the surrey hills. Music, dance, talks, martial arts and food demos.

Japan Matsuri has grown steadily in scale and scope over that past 11 years and is now undoubtedly a mainstay of the cultural calendar. Even though we are unable to physically gather on this occasion, I am delighted that together we will be able to enjoy the UK’s biggest free showcase of Japanese ...

Great to see such glowing reviews for Santiago Quartet’s new album “Language of the heart.” The “Birthday String Quartet” by Will Todd was recorded, edited and mixed by the team here at Raspberry South, with the 2nd Movement “Love Song” featuring in the classic FM charts in its first week!

You can order the new album here!

Listening to The Language of the Heart, the sophomore album of the Santiago Quartet, there is little doubting their heart-beat comes from the rhythms of Latin-America. Their first album, Latin Perspective, featuring virtuoso guitarist Ahmed Dickinson, received widespread critical praise, and now the...

The website for our new dubbing suite is finally live! Set in the Surrey Hills, this is one of the most inspiring places to mix music or TV.

The name "Raspberry South" is a nod to the famous Strawberry South Studios that was situated just round the corner here in Dorking - where Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, The Police & 10CC all recorded.

We are currently mixing the next series of Harry Hill's Alien Fun Capsule here - due to air starting 14th April. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you want your next project to be mixed here or just pop over for a coffee and look around!
