Audio mixing and mastering across Riyadh and Jeddah Pro Tools rooms — broadcast deliverables for MBC and Saudi Broadcasting Corporation, Atmos masters for Shahid VIP and Netflix MENA, theatrical mixes for Red Sea International Film Festival.
We book Pro Tools Ultimate mix rooms across MBC Studios Riyadh, Telfaz11 audio bays, and Image Production House Dubai. These serve cross-border Saudi-Egyptian projects. Avid S6 control surfaces and Avid MTRX I/O are standard on our premium stages. Dolby Atmos mixing rooms at MBC and NEOM XR Lab build 7.1.4 immersive masters. These go to Shahid VIP, StarzPlay Arabia, Netflix MENA, Amazon Prime Video Arabia, and Apple TV+ Arabic deliverables. The 5.1 surround mix stays the workhorse for theatrical and broadcast. Mastering engineers calibrate to ITU-R BS.1770-4 loudness. That means -24 LKFS for ATSC/AS-11 broadcast handed to MBC, Al Arabiya, and Saudi Broadcasting Corporation. Streaming runs -16 to -18 LKFS. Theatrical runs -27 LKFS at SMPTE RP200 reference. We set up stem prep in Nuendo and iZotope RX. We handle music clearance handoffs with Saudi Music Commission catalog rights and MDLBEAST Records pop licenses. We then run final QC against Dolby and IMF Pro Tools deliverable templates. After that, content moves to broadcast and SVOD master control.
Saudi Arabia's mixing heritage is broad. It runs from the MBC Group dubbing pipeline to boutique narrative work. The MBC pipeline is the region's largest. It processes more than a thousand titles a year. The work spans Modern Standard Arabic Fusha plus Khaleeji Gulf-dialect variants. The narrative side finished Sattar (2022) and the Telfaz11 short slate behind it. We deliver IMF wraps with audio Mxf tracks for Netflix MENA originals. We deliver AS-11 packages for MBC and Saudi Broadcasting Corporation transmission. We deliver DCP audio for AMC Saudi Arabia, VOX, Muvi, and Empire cinema launches. We also deliver Apple TV+ Dolby Atmos masters for premium streaming. Music scoring sessions can be tracked at MBC's orchestral stage. We mix them against catalog references. These include the Quincy Jones-rearranged Saudi national anthem. They also include Talal Maddah / Mohammed Abdo / Abadi Al Johar heritage Tarab recordings. We handle CST broadcast-spec compliance at master prep. We also handle GCAM type deliverables (G through R18). Sovereign-data archiving goes to AWS Saudi Region in Riyadh per NDMO residency rules. SAR billing, 15% VAT, Sunday-Thursday workweek.
