Badsound is an award-winning audio post-production company founded by Nikolay Antonov. Based in Berlin, working worldwide. We collaborate with directors, brands and agencies across the globe to create immersive soundscapes for art installations, fashion shows, documentaries, narrative films, TV, music videos and commercials.

From the early stages of pre-production to the final Dolby Atmos mix session, we provide wide-ranging services individually tailored to each project.

We can recommend production sound mixers from our roster and advise on the best equipment for each situation to guarantee the highest possible quality of audio recorded on set.

Working with field recordists and foley artists, our sound designers create authentic sound libraries for every project, while our dialogue editors, equipped with cutting-edge audio restoration plugins, ensure pristine speech quality.

Our music supervisors and composers curate and compose music in a wide range of styles, from minimal electronics to full-scale orchestral recordings.

We do our cinematic mixes at our partner facility, TonBüro, in Adlershof, Berlin, in a state-of-the-art 1,722-square-foot Dolby Atmos certified mix theater with a 484-square-foot screen.

Our re-recording sound mixers deliver audio that meets the technical specifications necessary for broadcasting, promotion, and international distribution of projects of any scale. This includes compliance with US, UK, and EU broadcast standards, as well as the specs of all major online platforms.
