我只剩下勇敢

Dialogue restoration, sound design, orchestral score and the 5.1 mix — one documentary’s complete sound chain, one studio.

Documentary sound usually starts from imperfect material: location conditions, age and carriers all leave marks on the dialogue. For this 70-minute theatrical documentary, Edgar Music carried the entire sound chain — dialogue restoration through the 5.1 surround mix, plus the orchestral score, on a single pipeline.

Scope of delivery

Restoration: putting every line back in the room

Restoration is not just removing noise — it is keeping tone and space intact across de-noise, editing and spectral repair. Dialogue is the protagonist of a documentary; only restored dialogue earns the first chair of the final mix.

Why the full chain matters

The score was written knowing the space of the final mix; design and music started talking at the premix; the final mix became a single whole instead of a three-way compromise. On documentaries, single-studio full-chain delivery pays off most directly.
